First tip on training your dog,
don't let your dog train you

Most dogs have their owners
well trained,

They have learned that if they
put on the “starved look” during
dinner time, someone will feed
them a tidbit from the table.
Scratching at the door and an anx-
ious look can convince an owner to
let them out to answer a call of
nature when all they had in mind
was a3 am romp in the moonlight,

The dog is basically a pack ani-
mal.

It recognizes the hierarchy of the
pack and becomes conscious of its
spot in the recking order. When a
puppy joins a family, the family
becomes his “pack”.

Every pack needs a strong leader

and that leadership Should belong’-

to the human. Pack animals test

their leader to see if they can
improve their standing in the ranks,
If the dog senses that his owner is
weak, then he ( the dog) will take
over and then trouble begins,

You, the human, must be the
Boss. Training depends on estab-
lishing dominance. You will not
lose your dog's love or break his
spirit by letting him know that you
are the boss, There does not need to
be any harshness or violence need-
ed to show him you are boss. You
can be gentle and but

on the right track.

The more you talk to your.dog,
the greater the vocabulary he will
acquire. Put names to things and
places (dish, crate, bed) as well as
actions,

Training should be fun, If you
are glum or business-like, you can
hardly expect your dog to be over-
joyed at the experience. If you are
not feeling well, or are just ina bad
mood, do not train that day.

Keep the training simple. Break
down into

also firm and i If you

parts and teach sepa-

allow him to rule you, he loses
respect for your authority.
Teaching your dog consists of
suiting the word to the action until
be connects the two in his mind.
Our praise lets him know that he is

rately, then combine them.

Maintain attention. Do exercises
at a brisk pace, vary the exercises,
don't bore your dog with endless
repetition.

Know your dog.

You may find is reactions make
one method more effective than
another. .

The best pet, the best trained dog
will be the one who is your con-
stant companion. *

Want to stay in shape? Why not try
to deliver 49 pizzas in 30 minutes!

MARION ANDERSON
‘Sun staff

How do you deliver 49 compli-
mentary pizzas to more than 150
hungry construction site workers
and office staff who just happen to
be spread all over the Celgar Mod-
emization site—who all have the
same 30 minutes for lunch?

The delivery was simple; one
car made two runs to the site and
the on-site security helped deliver
to the contractors.

It’s what went on behind the
scenes to prepare the food and
organize the orders that is almost
mind-boggling. Anthony’s Pizza &
Steakhouse in Castlegar was a
whirlwind of activity early Friday
moming‘as two cooks prepared the
45 large, three medium and one
small pizza to be cooked and deliv-
ered to the Celgar site by 12 noon
Friday.

Fresh pizza dough had been pre-
pared. Eight different toppings had
to be sliced and chopped. Then, it
‘was time to create them.

Quickly, the dough was covered
by the sauce, cheese and toppings.
By the time the assembly had fin-
ished there were eight mushroom

and green pepper, 11 pepperoni and ‘

mushroom; eight ham and mush-
room; ten ham and pineapple;
seven bacon, mushroom and green
pepper and five vegetarian special
pizzas ready for the ovens.

49 pizzas in 30 minutes! Can it be done? The answer is yes, just ask Anthony's Pizza
and Steakhouse and delivery man Robin Charbonneau. Anthony's donated 49 pizzas
to the contractors at the Celgar modemization project on Friday. The pizza's were just
Anthony's way of saying that the workers’ efforts are appreciated.

While the pizzas were cooking,

, the boxes were numbered and

labelled with each

name. Then it was time to match
pizzas to the right boxes and ‘put
the boxes into the car. Finally,

delivery driver Robin Charbonneau

So why would anyone do this?

Marilyn Strong of Strong

& Associates Advertising and

Anthony’s owner Tony Pitaoulis,
came up with the idea.

“We wanted to do something for
the contractors who are out on the
site eating bag lunches everyday, so
we thought we'd send outa few
complimentary pizzas,” said
Strong. (The “few” pizzas tumed.
out to be worth just under $700.)

“When I called them (the con-
tractors) on Thursday to let them
know we wanted to do this, most of
them were really astonished, and
also very pleased,” said Strong.

“Some wanted to know if we were
joking, and I assured them we.
weren't.”

Charbonneau, realizing the mag-
nitude of his responsibility, got the
pizzas on site piping hot and just
before the lunch hour bell. By 12
noon on Friday, more than 150 Cel-

gar Modernization construction and’

office workers were sitting down in
construction trailers and Iunch areas
to have hot complimentary Antho-
ny’s pizzas for lunch and they were
appreciative of the efforts of one
Castlegar business.

* ‘Amid mouthfuls of melted moz-’

zarella, was a resounding “We'd
like to thank everyone who was
responsible for this,” eloquently put
by an Interpro worker. Tiecluaing
