Find the Right "Outdoor Hunting Knife" that fits Your Hand! Every hunter should know that choosing the right hunting knife for the game they are hunting is decision that needs to be thought through. There are several different styles regarding the blade that are to be considered when selecting that "Perfect Knife". The specific use or multiple uses all are factors when choosing a knife. The choices you will have to make are your personal preference and making sure the knife will perform well for your recreational and hunting adventures.
Type of Knife There are two main types of hunting knives to choose from, they are the fixed blade knife and folding or lockback knife. Both styles have their own unique benefits. When choosing between the two you will have to decide which type will fit you and your specific hunting style. This decision will be based on your personal preference and how you prefer to carry your knife, on your belt or in a pack.
Next, it's time to treat your waterproof and water-resistant items. After washing in a specific outerwear detergent, apply an appropriate waterproofing treatment. Several brands make waterproofing solutions for both rain gear and softshell fabrics. Some are run through the washing machine in a separate load, while others can be sprayed on. These solutions will renew the DWR coating on your outerwear, which helps water bead and roll off. This thin, outer layer needs to be renewed occasionally to help the garment perform at its best.
You should naturally praise the pup whenever he relieves himself in the appropriate places outside. Don't be afraid to go a little over board with your praise, because the happier you show the pup that you are the more he wants to do what he clearly is being rewarded for and the process will take a lot less time than if you are more sparse with the praise. It may be a good idea to use the same exit door, go to the same spot and use the same verbal commands to get him to eliminate. The puppy will quickly pick up on the routine and perform his natural duty when required.
To housebreak a puppy can be easy, but it is time consuming as you have seen above and you have to be consistent. If your lifestyle doesn't allow to be at home for long periods of the day then the housebreaking process will take longer. Crate training is one of the most effective and highly recommended training methods available to you. Therefore before you get the pup home purchase a crate that is sized for your dog's breed. I prefer and open wire crate which allows the pup to be able to see everything around him. A plastic crate may be better suite for the situations where he the puppy may have to be transported to some event or other. In either case use some old towels as bedding in the crate.
It is very likely that the puppy will be able to hold himself when in the crate because nobody wants to soil one's sleeping area. Of course you can't go too far. But you may be able to extend the time between eliminations by an hour or so. The crate makes for a den-like environment that helps the puppy to feel secure. I use an open wire crate at home all the mime with a new puppy. And to make him feel that it is his home I place him in the crate if we have been outside for a walk and he comes home and is tired. Even though it might be acceptable to just have him relax on the floor I place him in the crate and that way he learns that he can not only feel safe but also be undisturbed and it is not seen as a punishment. It is a behavioral conditioning, and it parallels the way a dog would naturally behave.
Placing the puppy in the crate when he needs nap ensures that it is not be used as a punishment. It is important at this point that your puppy cannot get the idea that being placed in the crate is a form of punishment. He should feel it as a safe place to take a nap and an area where he will not be disturbed by the family when he needs time out.
