Welcome to our complete guide to crate training a puppy. By professional expert dog trainer, Jo Laurens.
Giving you all of the crate training information you are looking for.
Find out what crate training is and how your puppy could benefit from having a dog crate.
We take a look at whether using a crate is cruel, and how to make sure that your puppy is safe, happy and healthy in his special bed.
And give you the answer to those important crate training puppy questions, such as 'how long can a dog stay in a crate', 'how big should a dog crate be' and 'which crate is best for my puppy'.
'Crate training' a dog, is the process of teaching a puppy or dog to relax and feel comfortable in a dog crate or dog cage.
Many new owners don't realize that there is a training process behind successful use of crates.
Instead, they just put the pup in the dog cage – and then are horrified by the noise and distress!
They struggle along with the crate for a couple of days, and then give up.
This is a real shame, because crate training a puppy has huge benefits. And can have uses at different points throughout the lifetime of a dog.
Sometimes new dog owners think crates sound 'cruel' – after all, they are cages.
They conjure up thoughts of prison and animal testing, and other ideas we don't like.
If you find yourself thinking along these lines, try to see the 'dog cage' from your dog's perspective.
Dogs are den animals, since their nearest wild relatives – wolves – live in small, dark, enclosed spaces dug into the ground.
When scared, many dogs choose to run under tables or behind furniture. Showing that they still have similar preferences to wolves when it comes to their definition of 'a safe hiding place'.
To consider a crate 'cruel' is to see it from a human perspective and to apply human values to it.
A quick look at crate-trained dogs whose daily needs have been met, will show you lots of snoozing, happy pups in their crates.
Or pups quietly chewing a Kong.
It's clear that there's no cruelty involved, for these guys.
However, crates for dogs can be abused.
Leaving a puppy or dog in a crate for too many hours a day, is not recommended and may well constitute cruelty. We'll look at how to be sure to avoid this happening later on. But first, let's check out the pros of puppy crate training.
Dogs are creatures of habit, and once they start to do something (desirable or undesirable!) they are likely to continue with it.
So, one of your goals, in bringing your puppy home, is to encourage, reward and develop the behaviors you want. And to prevent the behaviors you don't want.
Unsupervised puppies, left loose in your house, may be prone to destruction.
Chewing your furniture or belongings (including electrical cables); toileting inside; raiding kitchen counters for crumbs; and consuming dangerous substances.
Obviously only some of these activities are dangerous. The rest of them are a problem because, the more they 'practise' doing these things – the more they will do them!
Puppies will try to hold onto pees and poops, in a crate – because it is their 'bed', and they naturally don't want to soil where they sleep.
That means you can get on with the cleaning, cooking, accounts, piano practice, school run, [insert activity], safe in the knowledge that you're not going to return to a mess.
When you return, you can whisk Fido outside quickly and thereby avoid any accidents in the house.
The fewer the accidents, the faster your puppy potty training with a crate.
All your precious belongings are out of the puppy's reach. It's therefore not possible for the puppy to make the 'wrong' choices about what to chew.
Anything potentially dangerous is out of the puppy's reach.
Once your puppy is crate-trained, you can bring a crate with you when travelling and your puppy will have a 'home-from-home' in the hotel room.
If your puppy ever has to go to the vets for a procedure or surgery, she will be crated in a dog cage before and afterwards.
If she is used to being confined in this way, she will be much less stressed before and after her surgery.
Sometimes, due to illness or post-surgery, exercise has to be restricted for some dogs.
If your dog was crate-trained as a puppy, crating itself will cause no stress.
My elderly dog had spinal surgery a couple of years ago, and needed crate rest for a few weeks afterwards.
The idea of trying to crate her, had she never been crated before, would be unthinkable at a time of such illness.
So, we are fully sold on the benefits of crate training a puppy. The next question is, what crate is best for my puppy?
What type of crate should I buy?
Crates for dogs can be made from different materials, with the most common type being a metal/wire dog cage.
Also available are solid plastic crates, most often used for air travel. There are also soft fabric crates.
I would recommend a metal crate for most new puppy-owners. These will collapse flat for storage or transportation.
Solid plastic airline crates can also work well – but they don't collapse flat, are bulkier, and they also tend to be more expensive.
Fabric crates for dogs are great for travel purposes – they are lightweight, collapse easily, and transport well.
But they can also be torn or ripped by sharp puppy teeth and claws, so they are not a good choice until your puppy has already learnt to relax in a dog crate.
Fabric crates may also be harder to clean, if your puppy has any toilet accidents in the crate – so, again, wait until toilet-training is complete and your puppy is older before trying a fabric crate.
Once you have chosen the best type of dog crate for your dog and your needs, you will need to make sure you choose the right size.
When choosing a puppy cage, make sure that it's not too large. If a crate is too large, a puppy will be quite happy to toilet at one end of it and sleep at the other(!).
You need the entire crate to 'be' the puppy's bed, so that the puppy is reluctant to toilet anywhere in it. Your dog should be able to stand up and turn around comfortably.
Many puppy crates come with dividers which can partition off part of the crate and be made larger as your puppy grows – making a large crate any size you wish.
Or you may need to purchase a small dog crate until your puppy grows into the larger crate.
Puppies (and dogs) have certain needs which must be met, daily.
The needs of a young puppy, and those of an older dog, differ – with a puppy's needs being far greater.
Each day, a puppy will need to be taken outside to toilet frequently. At a very young age, this may be as frequent as every 30 minutes.
A puppy will need at least three meals a day at 8wks – sometimes four meals a day.
Your puppy will need socialization. A trip to a new location; meeting new people; meeting suitable other dogs – and much more.
Along with travel time, and short naps, this outing could take a couple of hours a day.
He will need brief sessions of daily training, working on basics – like sit, down, loose-lead walking and more.
And – most importantly – a puppy will need human companionship for a decent proportion of the day.
John Bradshaw's excellent book 'In Defence of Dogs' brings together some great research which suggests that puppies come primed to make relationships with humans – even more than with other dogs.
Humans are dogs' main attachment figures, most commonly. And a puppy is in a stage of dependence, unlike an adult dog.
So the ideal daily crate training schedule should involve periods of naps and resting in the dog crate, in between periods of play, socialization or training.
How long can a dog stay in a crate?
Ideally, a puppy is crated for the periods of time in between these other 'events' in the daily schedule.
So – a training session, a play… and a nap (in the dog crate). Out to toilet, a training session, out for a socialization trip… and a nap (in the dog crate). And so on.
This is the ideal use of the puppy crate.
Think of it being like a baby's 'cot' – it's where you put the pup for nap-times.
Puppies, like babies, need a lot of sleep since this is a period of rapid psychological and physical growth.
Occasionally, due to the owner's work commitments, puppies may need to be crated for longer periods of time.
Have you taught the puppy to relax and be comfortable in the crate whilst you are at home, first? If not, you risk creating separation anxiety through going out. Follow the steps outlined below here, before you leave your puppy.
Is the puppy tired, and ready to have a nap?
Are you able to meet your puppy's daily needs, outside of the time she is crated?
As a rule of thumb, it's probably best to consider 4hrs as the maximum continuous time on a regular basis for a 12wk+ puppy, which has gone through the following crate training protocols.
Although dog crates are a fantastic tool, like any tool, they can be misused.
Leaving your dog crated many hours a day, on a daily basis, is not acceptable.
Excessive use of dog crates, is arguably what gives crates a bad name, and leads to some people considering them 'cruel'.
But this is not due to the use of the crate – but to the abuse of it.
If you work only a couple of days a week, or part-time, try to take some holiday time off for a couple of weeks, to settle your new puppy in, and to establish routines.
When you return to work, arrange for someone to visit your puppy, let her out to toilet, play with her a couple of times a day and (once she is tired) re-crate her with a tasty kong.
You may be able to find a friend or relative willing to do this, or a professional.
If you work full-time and your adult dog can't be given free range of the house, please use the services of a pet professional. Like a dog walker (to break the day up), or a daycare, or pet sitter.
Don't leave your dog crated for 8 hours a day.
The only type of service I'd recommend for a puppy under 6 months, is a 'puppy visit' as described above.
You can find a guide to having a puppy and working full time here.
As soon as your puppy wakes up – and before she has made any noise – take her outside to toilet and remain outside until you've had success!
When a puppy is very small, it's probably best to carry her outside to prevent her going to the toilet on the way out.
When your puppy is slightly older and toilet training is more advanced, you can lead the way outside.
Try to ensure that your puppy is 'empty' before crating her, to reduce the risk of accidents in the crate.
As you get to know your puppy, you will learn her toilet routine and this will make things easier.
Where to put the dog crate?
Put the puppy crate in the location where you want it to be eventually.
This should not be in an 'out of the way' room – like the utility room, or entrance hall.
It should be a 'family' room. The room where you hang out and spend most of your time at home, together.
This is important because you want the puppy to associate the crate with your reassuring presence (helpful for providing security when you start to leave the puppy). And also you don't want the puppy to feel excluded or 'banished' when crated.
Often the kitchen, family room or TV area are the best locations for a crate.
If you are worried about the appearance of the crate in your home, then you might like to consider a wooden one.
What to put in the dog crate?
Anything that you choose to put in the puppy crate, you need to feel confident about the puppy having access to, when unsupervised.
For that reason, it may vary from one puppy to another.
Some puppies may benefit from a crate mat, to provide a softer bed.
Other puppies may rip up a crate mat and might be better left with just vet bed.
Either way, you will need to provide your puppy with some kind of reasonably comfortable bedding.
If a puppy is very young or small, often a big soft toy or two, can give them something to cuddle up to. Since they will be used to sleeping with their littermates.
However, a larger more destructive puppy, could de-stuff toys in your absence.
Puppies will benefit from being left with things to lick or chew.
Stuffed Kongs are a great all-rounder, and should be made very 'easy' for young puppies, with lickable stuff right around the opening. (Puppies will give up if they are too difficult).
Nylabones and other chews will need to be carefully chosen and assessed with your particular puppy in mind.
Whether she is a strong chewer and whether she breaks off parts of the chew when eating them with you. Don't leave a puppy with a chew you haven't watched them safely eat before, several times.
If you are only leaving the puppy for a max of 2-3hours, crated, then water isn't necessary and can just result in all the bedding ending up wet when the puppy digs around and spills it.
When you bring your puppy home, your first task is to help her feel safe in your house and safe with you.
Forget about leaving her alone, for the first couple of days and even (preferably) nights. She has had a lot of stressful changes.
Now is the time for settling her and helping her feel safe again.
Put her bed by your bed.
If you don't want her in the bedroom, as an adult dog, carry her in and out. She won't learn to find her own way in, like this.
If your dog crate doesn't fit by your bed, or is difficult to move about, use an open cardboard box for the first couple of nights by your bed.
Take her with you when you go out if possible, or have someone sit with her at home if you can't.
Take some time off work, if you can, to settle her in during this time.
During the days, work on 'Stage 1-3' of puppy crate training (below) with the crate in the regular daytime location where you want it to be. After 3-7 days of this, your puppy should be ready to spend nights in the crate in that location too – and no longer need to sleep by your bed.
Sometimes pups can make noise when distressed or separated from you – which is why I advise having the pup by your bed at first.
That way, you can just lay a hand on the pup and she will not feel alone, and will go back to sleep.
You will find it easier to tell whether your puppy needs the toilet, or is lonely, by removing the 'lonely' variable!
During the night, I would really advise you to set your alarm and take your puppy out to toilet.
At first, this may be as often as twice a night (2am and 6am, for example), but very quickly will only be once a night.
Do not wait for your puppy to make noise and wake you up – or you will end up reinforcing the noise by taking the puppy out.
Instead, set the alarm and wake the puppy up even if she is asleep. Do not talk to the puppy or play with her, just return her to the dog crate afterwards and then ignore any subsequent noise – because you know she is empty.
If you wake up before your puppy does, set your alarm for 30mins later the next night. Continue doing this until you get right through the night.
If your puppy wakes up before you, set your alarm earlier the next night – so you are sure to wake up before your puppy – and remain at that time for several nights, before making it later each night again.
So what's the best way to crate train puppy?
Every pup is an individual.
They may be ok without following any of the below dog crate training protocols.
Some owners just stick their puppy in the dog crate and close the door from day 1 – and their puppy still ends up just fine with the crate.
Other puppies are 'difficult' puppies, which need very gradual and progressive moves towards being left alone, crated. And these puppies can be set back considerably if just shut in there from day 1.
It is always best to be cautious and progress through the steps in order.
You can do no harm, this way, if you have an 'easy' puppy.
But you will avoid creating problems, if you have a 'difficult' puppy. So, this cautious approach is the best way to crate train a puppy.
This stage involves the crate door remaining open, and conditioning the puppy to LOVE the crate.
Do NOT close the door, at this stage.
Hide some tasty treats at the back of the puppy crate, with a trail leading towards the door. Try to do this when the puppy isn't watching, or is in another room. Allow the puppy to 'discover' the treats of her own free will, the next time she passes the crate. Then replenish them, when she's not looking! The idea is that the puppy comes to think of the puppy crate as a magic treat-producing place… Do this as often as you can.
You can also feed the puppy her meals in the crate: Place the bowl at the back of the crate, so she stands in the crate to eat. Remember, don't be tempted to close the door.
Try putting the crate next to you when you watch TV, and sit on the floor by it. The puppy may choose to go and lie down in there. Don't 'make' her or encourage her to, verbally, yet. Drop a few treats inside, if you want.
If the crate is small enough and portable from the day-time location, put the crate next to your bed at night and, at night only, you can close the door at this stage: Most puppies will accept being shut in, at night, if you are right next to them.
Some crates open on the top, and you can then reach a hand in, to place on the puppy to settle her, so she doesn't feel alone.
Feel free to cough or sniff, or talk between yourselves, if the puppy seems anxious – so she knows in the night that you are right there.
Take her out to the garden first thing in the morning to toilet; don't leave her shut in there whilst you get up.
After a day of Stage One of how to crate train a dog, if the puppy seems fairly comfortable with the crate and is frequently checking it out as a magic treat-producing place, you can move onto Stage Two.
This stage involves shutting the door, but without you leaving the puppy.
Prepare a fantastic stuffed kong. Try some pate, some cheddar cheese (which you can melt in the microwave once you've put it in the kong, so it is harder to get out!), mashed banana, peanut butter – just a tiny smearing of these, around the opening of the Kong.
Make sure the puppy has been to the toilet and is empty, and also is tired – after a vigorous play session or socialisation trip, for example.
Throw the Kong in the back of the crate and shut the puppy in there when she goes in. Sprinkle some treats in there too, for good measure!
Sit next to the crate and work on a laptop, or mobile device or read a book. You should physically be right up next to the bars of the crate, at first. Do not leave the crate whilst the puppy is in there.
Fido should eat the Kong happily, as you're right next to him. Occasionally drop some more treats into the crate, especially once the Kong is finished – as long as the puppy is quiet. If the puppy makes any noise, ignore it. Don't speak to her, or shout at her. Don't drop treats, in response to noise – or you will reinforce the noise. Wait for quiet before giving treats. Put the subtitles on, if you're watching TV!!
Hopefully, by the end of the film, Fido is not making noise and is settled. Let her out.
The noise your puppy makes at this stage, is not about separation from you – it's not panic, fear or distress. How do we know that? Because you're sitting right by the crate.
That is why it's so important to do this: If you move away from the crate at this point, and the puppy makes noise, you will be unable to tell the difference between 1) noise which is genuine distress, panic and fear about being separated from you – which should not be allowed to continue, or it may become associated with the crate – and 2) an angry frustrated 'I WANT', sort of noise, which really should be ignored, so the puppy learns it doesn't work.
Through sitting next to the crate, you can be pretty sure that any noise which happens, is about frustration – because there is no separation!
Noise due to frustration, is very safe to ignore. It may go on quite some time. It may be loud, intense and the puppy may get worked up – in quite a similar way to a child throwing a tantrum when told they really can't have what they want.
If you ignore it, it will eventually stop.
Remain at this stage until Fido is totally chilled lying in the crate whilst you sit next to it.
This will hopefully only take you a few days – unless your puppy has an existing issue with the crate, and/or a bad experience of having been crated in the past. In which case, proceed much more slowly and don't be in a rush to progress until the puppy is happy with the stage you're at.
You will be crating the puppy in the closed crate at night by your bed, during this time. Often puppies accept crating at night more readily than crating during the day. This may be because they are more sleepy at night whereas there may be angry protests about it, during the day.
Just because your puppy is fine at night, in the crate, don't expect this to necessarily also be the case during the day. You need to practice crate training a puppy at night and during the day.
This stage is about the puppy being comfortable in the crate whilst you're at home – but not right next to the crate, anymore.
Crate the puppy (always with a tasty Kong, always tired and empty of pee and poop), whilst you do some activity in the same room. Like cleaning, working at your computer, cooking etc. Make sure you do some stationery activities (reading, computer, eating) and other activities involving moving around (cleaning, cooking).
As always, ignore any noise. Periodically return and drop some treats into the crate if the puppy is quiet. Do not do this if the puppy is sleeping, as obviously we don't want to wake her up!
With crate training a puppy generally, make sure the puppy is not just continuously eating in the crate, as puppies need to learn to be relaxed and 'ok' when there is nothing to preoccupy them – if all your training relies on continuously feeding the puppy, when the crating time grows longer, they may not be able to cope once they have finished their Kong or treats.
So it's good practice to ensure the puppy has finished Kong/treats and is still ok, before finishing a crating session. The Kong doesn't need to have much in it – it is a gesture to continue to make the crate a great place to be, rather than an hour-long chewing activity.
Once the puppy is comfortable with this, start to undertake activities in other rooms of the house. Keep the door(s) open between you and the puppy, and start out with a room nearby – progressing further away as the dog can cope.
Choose active, noisy activities at first – so the puppy can hear you and knows she is not alone in the house. Feel free to sing to yourself, talk to yourself… Ignore any noise from the dog.
Remember: Whenever the puppy is crated, he gets a tasty Kong; is tired; and empty of pee and poop.
If the puppy is ok with this, make the activities quieter until you can sit in another room and read, periodically moving in to check on the pup and then away again.
At this stage, the crate really starts to become useful. Use it any time you need to, when you can't supervise your puppy and you're at home. Cooking? Eating? Getting kids ready for school? Showering? Cleaning? Use the crate.
You'll be secure in the knowledge that your puppy isn't going to the toilet somewhere and isn't getting into anything she's not supposed to.
Stair-gates are also useful at this stage.
If you don't want the puppy upstairs or in the kitchen or [insert place], a stair-gate is another intermediate form of separation which involves the puppy being able to see and hear you – but not be with you.
Do not leave your puppy crated when you go out, yet. Ideally, don't leave your puppy alone at all, just yet! Bring her with you in the car, ask a friend or relative to sit with her, if you need to go out.
Although all this (to this point) might sound like a lot, it's actually not – and can be achieved in 3-5 days, with a puppy which has no previous problems with the crate.
Always make sure your puppy has been to the toilet and is ready for a nap.
Every time you crate, do it with a stuffed Kong.
Crate your puppy. Put on your coat/pick up your keys/get ready. Use a specific phrase which tells your puppy that you're leaving ('I'll be back'; 'See you later'). Go out, and immediately come back in again. Don't look at your puppy too much. Pretend you quite like to do this crazy going-in-and-out thing for some personal reason, known only to yourself. Walk around the room. Say your phrase, go out again, and immediately return.
Repeat this many times, until you see the puppy stop being at all interested in what you're doing, and either become absorbed in the Kong or doze, in a relaxed state. Ideally your puppy is scarcely paying much attention to what you're doing, but even if your pup is more interested, she should be lying down – or don't progress yet, until she shows more signs of relaxation.
Then, as above but now go out and wait 5 seconds. Return. Repeat until puppy is relaxed.
Go out and wait 10 seconds. Repeat until puppy is relaxed.
30 seconds. Repeat until puppy is relaxed.
1 minute. Repeat until puppy is relaxed.
You may progress through all this in one or two sessions.
Or, if your puppy becomes hyper-alert and worried when you go out, it may take you a week going back a few steps, with several mini-sessions a day. A lot depends on your individual puppy.
5 minutes. At this point, you might like to start walking away from the house, then turn and walk back to the house again. Repeat till puppy is relaxed.
10-15 minutes. If you have a corner shop near you, go and get the paper or some milk. By the time you reach this sort of length of time, the number of repetitions you're going to be able to do each day is much fewer. (Many times 15 minutes probably equals a good amount of your day!). But try to get a couple of sessions in, each day.
The good news is that the first 15 minutes of being left is the hardest time for any puppy, and the time when separation anxiety is most likely to kick in. If you've reached this length of time with no problems, it's highly likely you're almost home and dry. Well done!
Gradually progress: 30mins; 1hr; 1.5hrs; 2hrs; 3hrs. And so on. Once you are past the first 15 minutes, you can increase in much larger chunks of time.
Ideally, try to ensure your puppy is ok being left for the maximum amount of time she will need to be left for. If you've taken time off work, how long will your puppy need to be left for, when you return? Can you plan how to reach that time, before you return to work?
It's important to start crate training a puppy from the day you bring your puppy home, beginning as explained above.
You will need a good crate training puppy schedule.
In the first few days, you will have the dog crate by your bed at nights – closed – or (if possible) open only on the top so you can reach in to stroke your puppy when needed. If this isn't possible, use a cardboard box which your puppy can't jump out of – again, open on the top.
During the daytimes of that first week, you will be working on Stage 1-3 above with the crate in the location where you want it to end up.
After a few days of this crate training 'puppy schedule', your puppy will also be able to spend nights in the crate in its permanent location, and will not need to be by your bed – because she will have settled in with you and will now associate the crate with your presence.
Continue to work through the above steps, over the coming weeks.
Since every puppy is an individual, it's impossible to say how long the crate training 'puppy schedule' should take.
Some puppies might progress through this within their first week or two. Other puppies might take months of very careful introduction to being left alone for gradually increasing periods.
To some degree this is breed specific: Some breeds are known for forming very strong attachments to their owners and for being distressed when separated. These breeds are likely to take longer.
Our Weimaraner took a few months to work on issues like puppy crate training, alone training and spending night-times apart from us. Our other puppies have only needed a couple of nights by our beds whilst working on puppy crate-training during the day – and by the end of the first week they were fine being left for short periods whilst we went out.
If your puppy finds separation difficult, it is really important to follow the above protocols exactly and not to progress prematurely.
Like all training, you can only go at your puppy's pace – and you need to ensure your puppy is successful, before moving onto the next stage. If you progress before your puppy is relaxed and comfortable, then you risk everything falling apart at a later point of your training.
Is your dog whining in his crate?
There are different noises a puppy can make in the crate and it's important to try to identify what's going on, emotionally, for the puppy, so you know how to respond.
Sometimes the noise a puppy makes in a crate comes from frustration. This will sound like a 'let me out of this crate, NOW, "I want…"' noise. It can be very loud, persistent, and the puppy can become quite worked up – like a child having a tantrum when told she can't have something. Other times, the noise will come out of panic and fear – anxiety.
Is My Dog Frustrated Or Distressed?
It can be very hard to tell the difference between these types of noise, especially if you are a new puppy owner. This is why it's important to begin crate training dogs, by following the stages listed above.
If the noise is one which your puppy has made when you've been sitting right by the crate, then it's likely frustration – not panic due to separation. This is why it's extremely important not to skip the step of sitting by the crate until your puppy is comfortable (stage 2).
Not sure what is behind a noise? Assume it is fear-based to be on the safe side and return to crate-training basics as outlined above.
If you know noise is frustration-based, wait for silence before going back: When you return when the puppy is making noise, your return in itself will reward the noise-making and the puppy can make even more noise next time because it makes you come back!
If the noise is more of a low-grade dog-whining-in-crate noise, your puppy is likely bored or discontented and you may need to consider whether you are meeting physical and mental needs both in and out of the crate.
Do I have to use a crate?
No, of course not. If your puppy has no problems with eating parts of your house she's not supposed to eat, AND your puppy has no toilet training issues, AND your puppy has no separation anxiety issues, then a crate is probably redundant. However, if your puppy comes without any of those issues at 8wks, she is probably Super-Puppy – it's pretty unlikely!
How long should I use the crate for?
This depends on your individual puppy.
You have had no toilet training accidents in the house for a month or more.
Your dog is not at all destructive when out of the crate at other times – you never have to tell her not to chew something or to remove your valuables from her mouth.
Your dog is settled and relaxed being left alone in the crate.
If you have other dogs, you are sure you can safely leave the puppy loose with the other dogs without any dog suffering for it.
It is best to err on the side of caution and to use the crate for too long, than to stop too soon. With my own (large, gundog) breeds, I use the crate at least until they are out of early adolescence (12-18months).
How do I stop using the crate?
When you stop using the crate, just leave the crate door open when you go out. If all is ok on your return after a few occasions, remove the crate and put the same blankets or bed which were inside the crate, in the same position, without the crate. You can then transition to a dog bed.
Your dog will always 'remember' crating, and you should be able to return to using one at any point in your dog's life – you will not need to re-train your dog if you want to use a crate again in the future. As long as you trained things properly the first time round!
What about crate training a dog, not a puppy?
When it comes to crate training dogs, keep in mind that there may be a history with crates. A crate training puppy doesn't have that problem.
Either way, you may need to progress more slowly when crate training dogs – as compared to crate training a puppy – but the general principles and the crate training schedule and protocols remain the same.
Crate training a puppy is an important process. As is crate training a dog.
Although it can seem a bit daunting, you will find that with a little effort your life with a dog will be vastly improved.
You will have a safe, happy puppy with a lovely snuggly den.

Did you ever get an answer to this question!? It is exactly my question too but haven't found the answer on the forum yet.
Very good tips! Our first dog was already used to crate when we got her so the 1 to 3 stages was known, we will for sure make in practice those stages with our new pup. The only thing that concern me is to how to make them meet. My older dog is 4, the pup wiil be 9 weeks. I will make them meet in a neutral place but would love to read more about it , like the sharing toys and all the other things that we dont thi k about.
Thank you so much for this article and your guidance.
After the first three nights of our new 8 wk puppy being very unsettled. I found your article and followed it to the letter. We now have a puppy who is happy in his crate, sleeps the whole night and various naps throughout the day. He is now able to be left in it while I have a shower/ clean/ prepare dinner etc. He seems to be a pretty fast learner!
I cannot thank you enough for your sensible, easily understood step by step instructions aimed at people like me, not professional trainers but a caring owner trying to do the best by their pet. Some articles I have found make owners feel like idiots, needless to say yours does not!
Currently looking for a crate for my puppy.
Was unsure about it but after reading it, it clear my uncertainties.
This is very interesting articles. Got my labradoodle puppy 11 weeks old 3 days ago. I had the crate from before for my other dog it is bit big but Had no accidents since only first day use and in next morning cos I had to rush out to toliet she panic and peed. So I had been stressing out how to make the plan right still am. So here's my story. On first day wire crate in my room end of my bed I had shown her the crate in and out with treats but she wasn't keen on the treats so I got the toys play with her near it she got in and out then at night before bed I had put Kong in with honey and treat in she shown no interest so I did gently pull her in she went for abit with treat I closed door as I want her be safe and I am deaf but can hear with cochlear but I am used to it without it when bed did leave it on hopefully can hear if something, so anyway after she in the crate she scream went like in mental stage whining jumping it was horrific I had her right next to my bed then after I say 10 mins she calmed down when I in bed she went fine went asleep but when day time she wouldn't go in but I did put her food bowl in with door open she was unsure go in or not but she got in then go as normal then I tried play with her in with treats she did went in but quick out she's very stubborn one and pretty destructive so each night now 3rd night all bit simialar situation but tonight bit better still the whines and bit screaming banging her head in but I had to go toliet. Last 2 days I couldn't crate her in day time she did been sleeping on my couch but tomorrow will have to try because I took this week off work. So what I am asking is do I gently try push her in crate if she won't stay in? Today she been fine went in eat her bowl I get nervous next day if I make it worse. I only have one crate in bedroom abit of hassle to be moving it around I know need see me etc. I'll have someone come out next week when I go back to work so. She may be locked up for about 3-4 hrs until a friend comes in. So is it ok to use just a bit of force of course with no punishment just play with her then put her in slowly but a little push in.

Q: Return JSON on error when header {"Accept":"application/octet-stream"} in request I´m having some issues when returning some errors from a rest WebService.
Making a request with the header {"Accept":"application/octet-stream"}
(the service returns a document ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource> if all the process goes well).
When all the process goes well the document is downloaded fine, but when an error is occurred and the code jumps to the @ControllerAdvice and tries to return a JSON error. Here comes the problem, when trying to return the JSON springs crashes:
org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException: Could not find acceptable representation

Here is a example of some code:
Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_VALUE })
    public ResponseEntity<CustomError> test() throws Exception {
        throw new Exception();
    }

ControllerAdvice
@ControllerAdvice
public class ExceptionHandlerAdvice {
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(ExceptionHandlerAdvice.class);

    @ExceptionHandler({Exception.class,Throwable.class})
    @ResponseBody
    public ResponseEntity<CustomError> handleUnhandledException(Exception exception) {
        CustomError error = new CustomError(exception.getMessage());
        return new ResponseEntity<CustomError>(error, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
    }

}

CustomError:
public class CustomError {

    private String errorDescription;

    public CustomError(String errorDescription) {
        super();
        this.errorDescription = errorDescription;
    }

    public String getErrorDescription() {
        return errorDescription;
    }

    public void setErrorDescription(String errorDescription) {
        this.errorDescription = errorDescription;
    }

}

I´ve also tried returning new headers on @controllerAdvice
@ExceptionHandler({Exception.class,Throwable.class})
  @ResponseBody
  public ResponseEntity<CustomError> handleUnhandledException(Exception exception) {
    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
    CustomError error = new CustomError(exception.getMessage());
    return new ResponseEntity<CustomError>(error,headers, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
  }

Any idea how can I make this work or ignore Accept header on response?
It´s possible?
Thanks in advance

A: This exception means your response type not match with your request header. If you are expecting JSON/Stream to be returned, your request header should be {"Accept":"application/octet-stream,application/json"}.

Gahlot
(Redirected from Guhilot)
Gahlot is a clan of Jats[1] and Rajputs. The variations of the name include Gehlot, Guhila, Gohil or Guhilot.
The Guhilas of Medapata belonged to this clan. The Atpur Inscription of 977 AD lists 20 kings starting with Guhadatta and ending with Saktikumara. Major cities included Nagahrada and Aghata. Chittor was captured by Bappa Rawal in the 8th century. The Guhilas fought the Paramaras in the 11th century and the Chaulukyas in the 12th century. During the reign of Jaitrasimha (1213–1252 AD), Nagahrada was sacked by Iltutmish. Then Samarasimha (1273–1301 AD) submitted to Ulugh Khan before Ratnasimha was defeated by Alauddin Khalji in 1303 when Chittor Fort was captured.[2] According to 1274 CE Chittor inscription and 1285 CE Achaleshwar (Abu) inscription of Vedasharma, Bappa Rawal "changed his priestly splendour for regal lustre". Based on this, scholars such as D. R. Bhandarkar theorized that the Guhilas were originally Brahmins. G. H. Ojha, however, believed that the statement in Vedasharma's inscription is a misinterpretation of the earlier Atpur inscription. The Atpur inscription describes Guhadatta as a "Mahideva", which according to historian R. V. Somani, can be translated as either "king" or "Brahmin"[3]
In present-day Rajasthan, the Gahlot Rajputs ruled the princely states of Banswara, Dungarpur, Mewar, Pratapgarh and Shahpura.[4]
In Gujarat, they are generally referred to as Gohil and have once ruled the princely states of Bhavnagar, Palitana, Lathi and Vala.[5]

Fredericton, New Brunswick on TransCanadaHighway.com
Why Visit Fredericton?
Fredericton lies on the Saint John River, and is the provincial capital. It has a military history going back over 200 years, sits next to the massive CFB Gagetown military base, and just exudes "colonial" charm. It's also a handy jumping off point for recreation on Grand Lake, frolicking in the Fundy tides, and visiting the many covered bridges in this part of the province.
Fredericton is the capital city of New Brunswick, with a population of 81,000, and lies on the St. John River, and the Trans-Canada Highway, only 100 km from the US border. The city is a a two hour flight from Toronto, and 75 minutes from Montreal.
The major industries in Fredericton reflects the community's role as the seat of government, though not the province's largest city. The top industries include government services, education, health & social services, retail trade, and accommodation & hospitality.
Whether it's a visit to a park, an art gallery or the area's history, Fredericton offers its visitors and residents lots to do every day of the week.
Fredericton History
The St. John River, with its wide, deep waters, was a key transportation route for Maliseet and Mi'kmaq (Micmac) Indians who hunted, fished, grew corn and squash along its length. The British made various Maritime peace and friendship treaties (between 1725 and 1776) with the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet people which allowed them to hunt and fish, trade with the British, and did not involve the cession of any land. Today, the First Nations reserves for the Maliseet are along the Saint John River, and the reserves for the Mi'kmaq are along the Gulf of St Lawrence coastline.
As the French and English fought over control of the New World, the French eventually gained control of Nova Scotia, which then included the St. John River Valley. Between 1672 and 1700 the French King assigned land grants in what is now the Fredericton area but were abandoned until 1732 when a group of French Acadians, fleeing the British forces who had taken possession of Nova Scotia following the Treaty of Utrecht,and creating the community of Ste. Anne's Point, which was the Capital of Acadia from 1692 to 1698.
In 1758, when British Forces captured Louisburg, the British swept through the St. John River Valley, burning homes and expelling Acadians (to French Louisiana, and the area was gradually resettled by English families over the next few years. Following the American Revolution, in 1783 British Loyalist fled the United States and 34,000 settled in Nova Scotia and 14,000 in New Brunswick, with 2,000 Loyalists around Ste. Anne's Point. In 1785, renamed the settlement "Frederickstown", in honour of Prince Frederick, second son of King George III, and shortly thereafter Governor Carleton choose Fredericton as provincial capital. The city's high school (the oldest in Canada) and the University (tied with University of Georgia as the oldest in North America) were founded that year.

Fredericton has enjoyed an annual fall fair since 1825. In 1845, Queen Victoria, the head of the Church of England, designated Fredericton a Cathedral City and built the first entirely new Cathedral foundation to be established on British soil since the Norman Conquest of 1066. In 1847, a permanent Maliseet Indian settlement was established on the north side of the St. John River, and in 1848, Fredericton was incorporated as a city.
Following the Quebec Conference and the Charlottetown Conference, New Brunswick was one of the four founding provinces of Canadian Confederation in 1867. After 1850, Fredericton flourished as an industrial town. Sawmills, shipyards, tanneries, boot and shoe factories, carriage shops, iron foundries, brickyards, and factories turned out a variety of products. Railroad connections were established between Fredericton and several other cities.
In 1969, New Brunswick became the first officially bilingual province, and became the only one enshrined as such in the 1982 repatriated Canadian constitution. In 1973, the 125th anniversary of the city's incorporation, Fredericton amalgamated a number of surrounding communities, doubling its area and population.
The provincial government recently re-aligned Highway 2 shaving an hour off the travel time between Moncton and Fredericton, and completing the twinning of the Trans-Canada in New Brunswick.
Cyclists should stay off the #2 and take the older routes along the banks of the Saint John River, the #105 or the #102, which have wind through charming countryside, have few hills, and pass by a number of beautiful and historic overed bridges. The #102 norht of Fredericont Takes you past Kings Landing heritage park and the Mactaquac dam, and you cross the Saint John River in Fredericton and continue along on the #105 past Grand Lake and then switch to the #112 which continues east to Moncton.

Stroll through the spacious Daihonzan Nakayamadera Temple grounds
Daihonzan Nakayamadera Temple in Takarazuka City is an ancient temple said to have been established by Prince Shotoku Taishi about 1,400 years ago. Long known as a temple to pray for successful conception and safe delivery of children, it is said to have been a place of worship by the Imperial household, as well as samurai families including those of Minamoto no Yoritomo and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The many buildings and halls within the spacious grounds are places not only for worship, but also serve to bring us closer to Japanese history and traditional culture. Seasonal scenery including sakura (cherry blossoms), plums, wisteria, and ginkgo trees are a delight year-round.
Sanmon Gate
At the entrance stands the Sanmon, a two-storied gate with a roof of alternating flat and round tiles, now designated as a Hyogo Prefectural Cultural Property. Statues of the wrathful Nio gods are enshrined on either side of the gate to ward off evil from entering the grounds. Once, in the past, the faraway sea of Osaka Bay was visible from the lookout atop Sanmon called "Bokairo."
Hondo (Main Hall)
In the Main Hall of Nakayamadera Temple is enshrined the centerpiece of the temple, the statue of Juichimen Kannon (the statue of the eleven-headed Kannon Bodhisattva), a National Cultural Treasure. Normally hidden from view, it is revealed only on the 18th of each month.
Hoshikudari Daieshiki (Star Fall Grand Memorial Ceremony)
In addition, on August 9 every year, the Star Fall Grand Memorial Ceremony is held when 33 Kannons are welcomed at the Main Hall of Nakayamadera Temple. It is said that a visit to Nakayamadera Temple on this day bestows the same merit as 46,000 days of Nakayamadera Temple visits.
* The scale of the 2021 "Star Fall Grand Memorial Ceremony" was reduced due to the coronavirus situation.
Five-storied Pagoda
The brilliantly colored five-storied pagoda stands out in the grounds. Burnt down in a war about 400 years ago, it was rebuilt in 2017 and is named Shoryuto ("Blue Dragon Tower") for its distinctive blue color, rare in Japan.
Okunoin
Okunoin is located on a mountain road about 2km from the main hall. On the west side of the Haiden (Hall of Worship), there is a freshwater spring called "Swan Water," where many people fill their water bottles, seeking benefits.
Guardian Deities of the Zodiac
On the grounds is a sanctuary where Mamorihonzon, the Buddhas connected to the birth-year zodiac, are enshrined. Why not find the Buddha of your birthday?
Sojiin, the temple of the Year of the Rabbit and the Year of the Rooster
Kezoin, the temple of the Year of the Dog and the Year of the Boar
Hozoin, the temple of the Year of the Sheep and the Year of the Monkey
Jojuin, the temple of the Year of the Ox and the Year of the Tiger
Kannon-in, the temple of the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Snake
Jurojindo, the hall of the Year of the Horse
Daikokudo, the hall of the Year of the Rat
Lotus Rice from Cafe Bonten
Cafe Bonten
The "lotus rice" served at the Cafe Bonten on the temple grounds is a famous specialty of Nakayamadera Temple. The glutinous rice is flavored with ginkgo nuts, fried tofu, pickled snow peas and wolfberries. Also available for takeout.
Elevators and Escalators are Available
The precincts are fully equipped with escalators, elevators, baby seats, nursing rooms, diaper changing tables, etc., making it easily accessible for those accompanied by small children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Beyond being a place of worship, the buildings of Nakayamadera Temple are various and attractive, making it an ideal place for a leisurely stroll through the temple grounds!
Taiganto (Great Wish Tower)
Gohyaku Rakando (Hall of 500 Arhats)
There is also a place to catch the sweeping panorama of Takarazuka City.

Elevate SD
A draft list of projects is available now!
Elevate SD Background
The last successful ballot measure to support roads and transit was passed in 2004. It has made many positive impacts on our region, including:
Building the region's largest-ever infrastructure project in the Mid-Coast Trolley extension (service to launch in 2021)
Adding HOV lanes and Direct Access Ramps on I-15
Providing bus rapid transit (BRT) projects including South Bay Rapid, SuperLoop Rapid, Rapid 215, Rapid 235 and Rapid 237
Modernizing the MTS Trolley fleet with low-floor cars throughout the system
Accomplishing a complete overhaul of the Orange and UC San Diego Blue Lines
The improvement of many roads and highways.
A measure to support even more roads and transit failed in 2016. The difficulty of building consensus across the entire region led to Assembly Bill 805 (Gonzalez Fletcher), which gave the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) the authority to propose to voters to raise revenue up to half-cent sales tax for transit-related projects.
As a result of AB805, the MTS Board of Directors is considering putting forth a funding measure in 2020. A proposed sales tax measure would require at least 66.67% voter approval, and would only be applicable within the MTS service area.

Serious security flaws has been discovered in VxWorks, a real-time operating system made by Wind River of Alameda, California, US, in 1987. The OS is used from network routers to critical instruments like NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars and Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
A Canadian researcher Yannick Formaggio presented a detailed significant flaw in VxWorks at 44Con, an information security conference in London. He said that, "VxWorks is the world's most widely used real-time operating system deployed in embedded systems. Its market reach spans across all safety critical fields, including the Mars Curiosity rover, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, network routers to name a few." Formaggio added, "In this age of IoT, the issue will have a widespread impact."
The researcher discovered the flaw after an Istuary client requested about the understanding of the critical infrastructure industry.
The flaw allowed Formaggio "to target a specific part of the operating system and write to memory on the machine running VxWorks. From there, it was possible to set up a backdoor account and control functions of the operating system."
One of the another major finding of his research was that the "FTP server is susceptible to ring buffer overflow when accessed at a high speed" and crashes when sent a "specially crafted username and password".
The current version of VxWorks is 7, Versions 653 has the problem, which might have affected many millions of devices and they need to be patched. Wind River has acknowledged the flaw and is in the process of providing patches.

More night-time football is inevitable
Posted on June 11, 2020 September 24, 2020 by Sam MillsIn Footy, Opinion, Sport, Writing
This article was published on The Roar
Long gone are the days of all matches being played at the same time on a Saturday afternoon. Now only the mediocre match-ups take place under the light of day.
While footy has been played under artificial light since the old Lakeside Oval hosted midweek cup matches in the 1950s, the night blockbuster is a relatively new phenomenon, correlating with the first big broadcast deal signed at the beginning of the 21st century.
Once the domain of North Melbourne, one of the competition's smallest clubs, Friday night is now usually reserved for a clash involving one of the league's big four clubs: Collingwood, Richmond, West Coast and Essendon. Despite the form of any of these sides, the AFL can guarantee a decent crowd and the Seven Network a decent viewing audience.
But other clubs want a slice of the pie, and Seven are also keen for more stand-alone fixtures in prime time. While Saturday night is preferable to competing with local footy on Saturday afternoon, it's still a congested time slot, having to deal with another AFL match and multiple other codes.
With midweek footy out of the equation, there's three options the AFL have previously trialled and can look to implement in the future.
Thursday night matches have become a semi-regular occurrence in the AFL fixture, with upwards of five being held each season since the last broadcast rights deal.
From the traditional season-opening clash at the MCG that stretches back to 2008, to the Easter Thursday clash at the Gabba the Brisbane Lions hope to make a marquee fixture in years to come, Thursday night seems to be the time slot that looms as the most likely to host weekly footy come the next broadcast rights deal.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has allowed the AFL to schedule a Thursday night match for at least the next four weeks. They will be hoping for strong ratings that may assist in minimising the seemingly inevitable shortfall the AFL faces upon negotiation of the next deal.
Thursday night has traditionally been much more appealing to the masses than Sunday or Monday night footy, with an average attendance of 42,226 from seven home-and-away matches in 2019 excluding the season opener.
Five of these matches were held outside of Victoria. Thursday represents a prime opportunity for clubs outside of the Melbourne bubble to host marquee fixtures, given the home of footy's stranglehold on Friday night.
The AFL have also had a first-week Thursday night final every year since 2016 in place of the once-traditional Sunday final.
The AFL has brought back Sunday night footy in 2020 (at least for the first four weeks) to replace the Sunday twilight time slot.
Often reserved for the WA sides due to the time difference, the Sunday twilight time slot has also been used to bury matches that may result in blowouts or uninspiring spectacles, with fans suffering footy fatigue often tuning out after the Sunday afternoon game.
In 2019 the AFL experimented with pushing back the Sunday WA-based matches to start at 3:20pm local time (5:20pm AEST), with Foxtel remaining the host broadcaster.
Sunday night is one of the NFL's marquee matches. The AFL previously trialled the time slot in 2014 when Collingwood met traditional rivals Carlton in front of fewer than 41,000 at the MCG, prompting Pies president Eddie McGuire to ask for compensation from the league.
The match enjoyed a peak audience of 1.019 million across free-to-air and pay TV, yet the match attendance was ultimately the deciding factor in the AFL opting for a Thursday night long-term strategy.
That match, however, kicked off at 7:10pm while the games scheduled in 2020 will start at 6:05pm.
Of the four matches to come in the time slot, GWS hosting Hawthorn in Round 5 seems to be the pick of an average bunch, which suggests the AFL has merely accepted requests from Foxtel for clear air to not go up against the free-to-air Sunday afternoon game, and Sunday night isn't an actual part of the AFL's future.
Despite early suggestions the AFL may look to cram matches on weeknights, the league has opted against using Monday night.
While the league is no stranger to Monday footy with the annual Easter Monday and Queen's Birthday blockbusters occupying afternoon slots, the AFL has been apprehensive to use the time slot that is much revered in the NFL.
From 2009 to 2014, St Kilda hosted a night match at Docklands on the Monday after Mother's Day in an attempt to minimise footy on a day that traditionally drew smaller crowds.
The first match in 2009 against Collingwood drew over 46,000, while subsequent games against Carlton the following three seasons drew an average of 41,088. These games were also broadcast on free-to-air.
Perhaps due to the declining form of both clubs, just 34,054 attended the 2013 clash while only 26,708 watched the final 2014 edition at Etihad Stadium, which had also been relegated to Foxtel.
While a comprehensive trial was never undertaken, the AFL had seen enough and canned all Sunday and Monday night games at the end of 2014.
Monday nights also proved unsuccessful for the NRL, who ditched the concept they introduced in 2007 for Thursday night matches in 2017.
With the new renegotiated broadcast deal around the corner, it's likely Thursday night footy will become a weekly ritual.
Calls will also continue for a night grand final and there's every chance the AFL may trial it this year. All finals with the exception of two (one Saturday game in the first week and the grand final) are currently played at night, so it would perhaps make sense to have the big dance under lights.
There will be public outcry if it goes ahead, but most of footy's biggest moments of late have taken place with a yellow ball anyway.
Whatever happens to the last Saturday in September (or last Sunday in October as it could be this year), it seems more night footy in the future is inevitable.

In recognition of their incredible performances at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and as members of the 2016 USA Basketball Men's National Team this past summer, co-captains Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant have been selected as co-recipients of the 2016 USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year award.
This is the third such honor for Anthony and the second for Durant.
At the 2016 Olympics, both players started in all eight games to help the USA to an 8-0 record and a gold medal from Aug. 6-21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Anthony averaged a team second-best 12.1 points to go with 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.3 minutes per game, while Durant averaged a team-leading 19.4 ppg. to go with 5.0 rpg. and 3.5 apg. in 28.6 mpg.
This year marks the 37th time USA Basketball has presented its Male Athlete of the Year award, which was established in 1980 to recognize a USA Basketball athlete who, during the year of the award, made a significant impact on the success of his team's performance.
Anthony became USA Basketball's first four-time men's Olympian, the USA's first four-time men's medalist and the world's first men's player to win three gold medals.
At the 2016 Olympics, he shot 39.3 percent from the field (33-84 FGs), 40.0 percent from 3-point (18-45 3pt FGs) and 61.9 percent from the line (13-21 FTs).
Against Australia on Aug. 10, Anthony recorded single-game tournament highs for 3-point field goals (9) and 3-point attempts (15), while also recording the fourth-highest scoring output (31 points) and tying for the second-most field goals made (11).
His 31 points against Australia on Aug. 10 tied for the second-highest, single-game output in the U.S. men's Olympic record book, and his 15 3-point attempts in that game set a U.S. men's record.
Among all players in the 12-team field, Anthony ranked third in 3-point field goal attempts (45), tied for third in 3-point field goals made (18) and tied for 10th in points scored (97).
In the U.S. men's career Olympic record book, Anthony ranks first in games played (31), points (336), field goals made (113), field goals attempted (262), rebounds (125), 3-point field goals attempted (139), free throws made (53) and free throws attempted (71); and second in 3-point field goals made (57).
He also helped the USA to a 5-0 exhibition record with wins over Argentina (111-74 on July 22), China (106-57 on July 24 and 107-57 on July 26), Venezuela (80-45 on July 29) and Nigeria (110-66 on Aug. 1). He started in four of the five exhibition games and averaged 13.6 ppg., 6.8 rpg. and 1.8 apg. in 19.2 mpg.
Durant is one of 19 two-time U.S. men's Olympians and one of 17 to win two gold medals.
At the 2016 Olympics, he shot 57.8 percent from the field (52-90 FGs), 58.1 percent from 3-point (25-43 3pt FGs) and 81.3 percent from the line (26-32 FTs).
Durant recorded the tournament's best single-game shooting percentage by going 6-of-6 from the field against France on Aug. 14.
Among all players in the 12-team field, Durant ranked first in 3-point field goals made (25) and minutes (28.6); second in points scored (155); third in field goal attempts (90) and field goals made (52); fourth in defensive rebounds (37); tied for fourth in 3-point field goal attempts (43); fifth in points per game (19.4); tied for fifth in free throw attempts (32); and sixth in 3-point percentage (.581).
Three times he led the USA in scoring, including 25 points and six assists against China on Aug. 6, 27 points against Argentina in the quarterfinals on Aug. 17 and 30 points against Serbia in the gold medal game on Aug. 21.
In the U.S. men's career Olympic record book, Durant is first in 3-point field goals made (59); second in points (311) and 3-point field goal attempts (108); and third in field goals made (101) and free throws attempted (59).
In the U.S. Olympic single competition record book, he is second only to himself in points (155 in 2016 and 156 in 2012) and 3-point field goals made (25 in 2016 and 34 in 2012).
During the USA's five exhibition games, Durant started in four contests and averaged a team-high 15.6 ppg. to go with 2.8 rpg. and 2.8 apg. while playing 19.6 mpg.


On August 1, 2014, the "Citizenship Academy Project: A Coalition for Tunisia" was launched by OVC (Will and Citizenship Organization) and American Islamic Congress. This pre-election voter awareness campaign aims to encourage the participation of marginalized groups such as women and youth living in the south of Tunisia and rural remote areas.
Through this national coalition among civil society organizations (CSOs), this common strategic plan for a pre-election voter campaign focuses on capacity building activities in order to empower women and youth to promote active citizenship in their local context as well as an awareness campaign to encourage participation in the election process.
These trainings took place between September 3rd and September 10th and the awareness campaigns took place between October 11th to October 20th. The campaigns will continue during the Tunisian presidential elections from November 5th to November 22nd.

Jehan Daruvala: Chasing an F1 dream
Jehan Daruvala, who is part of the Red Bull Junior Team, is currently competing for British side Carlin in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. He opens up on his F1 dreams, equation with former teammate and F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda, association with Carlin, the Red Bull programme, and more.

Jehan Daruvala is the new face of Indian motorsport. Last December, the Mumbai-born driver became the first Indian to win a race in the FIA Formula 2 Championship — a stepping stone to F1 for the likes of Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Mick Schumacher — when he came out in front at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Touted to follow Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok as India's third Formula 1 driver, Daruvala, 22, is part of the Red Bull Junior Team. He has also been racing for British side Carlin in F2 the last two seasons, teaming up in 2020 with current F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda, who joined Red Bull's sister team AlphaTauri this year.
Once considered a Force India protege, Daruvala featured for Prema Racing during the inaugural FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2019. He finished third in the drivers' standings as part of the title-winning team.

After representing the Mumbai Falcons at the F3 Asian Championship earlier in 2021, he currently occupies the ninth spot in the 2021 F2 Drivers' Championship.
Back in India for the nearly two-month-long summer break following the fourth round of the F2 season at Silverstone, Daruvala opened up on his F1 dreams, equation with Japanese star Tsunoda, association with Carlin, which began at the F3 European Championship and Macau Grand Prix in 2017, the Red Bull programme, and more in an interview with Sportstar.
From racing in Formula Renault 2.0 to F3 to F2 now, how has the transition been?
It's been pretty good. You have to adapt to every car as you move up to the higher categories. From Formula Renault to Formula 3, we had a bit more power, but not a lot. The main thing was the downforce in an F3 car, which was super high. After that, I moved to the new spec of the F3 cars, which has a lot more horsepower and similar downforce. So those cars were like five-six seconds faster than the old ones. Formula 2 cars are like bigger Formula 3 cars. They have 750 horsepower (per ton). They are also a bit heavier and faster in general. This step up from F3 to F2 is not as big as it used to be because the cars are closer in terms of speed now.
Having claimed four podiums, what are the positives you've taken out from your F2 career so far?
The positive thing is that when I drive at my best, I perform well. I can fight at the front of the field and win races in a big Championship like Formula 2. So it gives me confidence that I can race and beat the best guys in the world. The key is to do it more consistently, which I want to and believe I can do.
How has the association with Carlin impacted your career?
The people at Carlin are a great bunch of guys, and we get along really well. This year has been decent so far, but not as well as we would have liked it to have gone. The team is looking forward to bouncing back. (After the break) when we go back out on the track in Monza, getting on the podium or winning the race will be the priority. So we're looking forward to getting back in the car.
What's your equation with former Carlin teammate and current AlphaTauri racer Yuki Tsunoda?
I don't talk too much about F1 with him, but I still talk to him quite a bit. Also, when I go to Red Bull to do my simulator, he's sometimes there doing his sim. So, we catch up for lunch, and we talk in general, not too much stuff about racing. We were teammates for a year. So we know each other pretty well and get along well too.
With superstars like Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo coming out of the Red Bull Junior Programme, do you think you can get there?
I think it's hard to say. The main thing for me is to perform as well as I can in Formula 2, then the rest of it is really out of my control. We have other junior drivers in F2. And you'd never know how the Formula 1 market is. For me to go into F1, a seat also has to open. I have to do well, and then I'll have an opportunity to go up there. So fingers crossed for things to go to plan and my dream of going to F1 coming true. After that, it's all about achieving my results per race.
READ: Kimi Raikkonen to retire at end of Formula One season
What are Red Bull's expectations from you and vice versa?
There's not much conversation between us this season. Red Bull always leaves it to me. We talk more when things get to the business end of the season. They will explain how the season has gone, what they wanted and how things are currently. Results are results, but sometimes with bad luck, things are out of your control, and you can't change a lot. The duration of conversations we have will be more over the next couple of months than in these last few months.

Do former F1 drivers from India -- Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok -- inspire you to reach that stage?
They've been the first two Indians who have made it to Formula 1, so they are role models. But at the end of the day, I also want to set my own targets to reach F1 and have a successful career. The main thing for me is to prove myself in Formula 2, put my name out there and do my best. Hopefully, all the hard work pays off, and I go to F1.
Can you give a gist about your time with Mumbai Falcons at F3 Asian Championship?
It was super cool because the championship was very competitive. It was the first time we had an all-Indian team (which also included Kush Maini) in a big competition. The season went pretty well. I won quite a few races, had a few pole positions and finished third in the championship. It was a successful campaign, which gave me something to do in my offseason before I commenced my F2 preparations.
Where do you see yourself three years from now?
Hopefully, in Formula 1. Apart from that, I don't know. That's my ultimate target.

Shortly after the last newsletter we had a very special visitor from the UK, Gary Flack, who worked with Studio 5 for many years and helped developed our first ever custom CMS system as well as taking care of our dedicated servers and security. He was naturally keen to meet the new USA web developer team and swap stories!
A number of website projects were completed in the first quarter. Websites large and small went live throughout the spring including clients old and new. One of those larger projects included integration of external data into our own CMS system allowing complete control over all the content on the site for a UK estate agency. Further integration with the GoogleMaps API plots properties locations. This client has been with us for nearly 2o years!
Lanes Estate Agents, Milton Keynes have relied on the services of the same webdesign firm since the internet evolved in the commercial world. Lanes helped Timon Pratt, Studio 5 CEO, find his home in Milton Keynes back in 1996 and ever since then the two companies have worked together to ensure Lanes Rentals offer their clients the very latest in technology.
Our first Californian client web design project was for a high tech video conferencing company. ClearTech (CT) is a leading provider of AV technology solutions transforming communication in today's active learning and workplace environments.
The website utilizes our MVC CMS system allowing the client to update services and keep a blog with industry news and technological developments.
A web design project for an old client in the UK. The football club celebrates its tenth year and the new website offers them the latest in technologies with our MVC based CMS system allowing them to keep news and events up to date as well as the team line ups, sponsor profiles and more.
Tapping into the MVC CMS system for Bruce's events around the world, this new website evolved in the same way as other ISTA member sites. Data is shared from the central system allowing events that he personally is attending to be shown on his personal site. Bruce's personal events are also managed using the same content management system (CMS) only displaying on his personal website.
A new website using latest technologies for healers using both ancient methods combined with modern learning.
The website utilizes our MVC CMS system allowing the client to update services and keep a blog headed up as Doctor's notes and offers a mobile friendly version.
A modest new website for a local life coaching partnership. he project does include a dynamic questionnaire which was an interesting development project.
An interesting development project where the mobile version comes ahead of the main website. Studio 5 were asked to develop design framework for an existing website. The initial launch of the design is on the mobile friendly version with the main website's conversion to follow.
The client will also be using the integrated newsletter system to generate customized email blasts to various groups of their subscribers, clients, etc.

Mark Douglas Daniel acquitted of serious animal cruelty

Janessa Ekert Journalist
I didn't always want to be a journalist. In fact, when I was younger my dream was to be an archaeologist – who wouldn't want to be like Indiana Jones? However, now that I am a journalist, I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life. I love listening to people's stories and sharing them with others. I'm a Queenslander through and though. Mackay is the furthest south I have ever lived. I'm an only child and I was raised in Airlie Beach. My parents are former boaties; we lived on a 42 foot...
A MAN has claimed he was just trying to break up a fight between his former girlfriend's miniature dachshund and a possum when both animals died.
A jury acquitted Mark Douglas Daniel, who was accused of beating the two animals to death in rage.
During a one-day trial, Mackay District Court heard Mr Daniel told police "I'm sorry, sh*t happens, it was an accident" when officers came knocking on his door last year.
He represented himself as he pleaded not guilty to serious animal cruelty with the intention of inflicting pain or suffering on October 5 at Mount Pleasant.
His former girlfriend told the court Mr Daniel had been angry that Limo, the dachshund, had been barking that night when he came outside the house armed with a mop or broom and swung the handle "hard … he was raging".
She alleged Mr Daniel had swung at Limo up to four times. "He (Limo) had blood dripping out of his mouth," she said.
However, she and another witness - who had been in the backyard - told the court they did not see the handle strike either Limo or the possum.
Days later in an interview with police, that was played in court, Mr Daniel said, "I don't know how the possum died, I don't know if the dog killed it or I killed it. It was an accident either way.
"I was trying to break up a fight between a dog and a possum to stop any accidents happening, to any of them, any injuries and both ended up dead.
"All hell broke loose, I ended up with a dead dog on my hands.
"I still can't believe it."
The court heard both animals were in an advanced state of composition and a cause of death could not be determined for either.
During the trial, Mr Daniel did not cross examine any of the four witnesses but made a brief closing statement to the jury.
"I didn't intend to cause any pain, suffering or death to any animal. I was trying to prevent this," he said.
"In my heart and in my head, I know that I'm not guilty of intentionally causing this death."
After deliberating for an hour and 20 minutes the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

Johnny Depp: King of Cult
Biography / Documentary
Johnny Depp. One of the world's best known actors. Famous for his versatility and dedication to the characters he plays. Initially known as a teen idol for his tortured pretty-boy looks, Johnny Depp survived the perils of adolescent-heartthrob status to earn a reputation as a respected adult actor. Best known for his eccentric and unconventional film choices, Johnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile actors of his day and age in Hollywood, and has carved a legacy for himself as a serious, well-rounded performer. His tendency to frequently play freakishly eccentric outcasts whose oddities are misunderstood by society has made him one of the world's best character actors, with iconic roles such as Captain Jack Sparrow and Willy Wonka. From his stranger roles like the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland to more conventional performances like John Dillinger in Public Enemies, Johnny Depp has managed to capture the hearts of millions, making him a household name. Johnny Depp is Hollywood's chameleon.

Rising bond yields – what are the implications for investors?
But first some context. In a big picture sense, inflation has been falling since the mid 1970s-early 1980s. The global economy is finally emerging from its post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC) hangover. Talk of secular stagnation was overdone. Slow global growth since the GFC largely reflected a typical constrained aftermath from a major financial crisis.
