WELLINGTON Eric Thames Brewers Jersey , March 9 (Xinhua) -- One of New Zealand's major technology and education powerhouses is consolidating its city links with China's eastern seaboard.


A high-level delegation from the city of Qingdao, in Shandong Province, will arrive in the South Island's second city of Dunedin on Tuesday to sign a formal Friendship City Agreement.


The six-person delegation led by Qingdao Vice Mayor Wang Guangzheng would include Municipal Bureau of Education Vice Director-General Li Min, said a statement from the Dunedin City Council on Monday.


Li would meet with officials from the Dunedin-based University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic with a view to establishing relationships with Qingdao University and China Ocean University.


Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said in the statement that the agreement would further strengthen the growing relationship between the two cities.


The relationship had started to flourish following links made with Fisher & Paykel's new owner, the Haier Group Jonathan Villar Brewers Jersey , Cull said, referring to the Chinese whiteware giant's takeover of the iconic New Zealand appliance maker in 2012.


"We are now looking at collaboration in the education, tourism and business sectors. The Friendship City Agreement is an important step in further developing the relationship," he said.


In August last year, Dunedin and Shanghai celebrated the 20th anniversary of their sister city relationship Orlando Arcia Brewers Jersey , which Dunedin officials have credited with giving their city a much-needed economic boost.

There exist many different ways that you can train a puppy but one thing is for sure, you have to be very clear when saying your voice commands. All dogs and puppies will definitely get confused if you or your family use one particular word command to get the dog to do two different things. For example, think about the commands "Down" and "Off!" where each needs to have its own certain meaning.

You see, there definitely exists different meanings with the commands "Down" and "Off!"so it is very important to not get them confused. The command "Down" normally will be used to get the puppy or dog to lie down on the floor or ground. So if you want to get your dog to not jump on you or someone else, don't use the command "Down" if you also use it for him to lie down. You will want to use a different command word like "Off!" to get your dog off you or another person. Make sure all your family members know the correct command for a wanted puppy reaction. Of course Robin Yount Brewers Jersey , this goes for any command.

Now you know to be specific and consistent when using dog commands, lets look at our subject of preventing dogs and puppies to not jump on people. So first we will look at why dogs jump on us. Well, just imagine...your height is under 2.5 feet, you have a 2 year old immature brain, you love it when your family members come home Glenn Robinson Brewers Jersey , and you have the ability to get on your hind legs when you have to. If all your family members were much taller, wouldn't you want to greet them happily by moving up to there level? Ok, now you know how many dogs feel.

The first thing you might want to do when arriving home through the door is getting on his level to greet him. Think again. To be a pack leader over your dog, don't do that. It might sound bad but pack leader dogs don't succumb to there pack dogs that way so don't you do that. If your dog jumps on you to greet you, turn your back on him while saying "Off" and wait till he gets over being excited. If he can't see your face directly then there is no reason to jump Paul Molitor Brewers Jersey , right? So try that. Now, once your puppy calms down a little then you can give him some love. Remember, don't reward an excited state. It might lead to other bad behaviors. Pack leader dogs don't give reward to an excited state. You should not either. Greet and love your dog when he arrives to his calm submissive state. That will be the time for the reward of love.

If turning your back to your dog does not work, push him off the minute he jumps on you and say "Off!". Remember, you want to curb or stop the jumping so your guests are not mauled by a jumping dog. There definitely is a time to love and greet you dog Stephen Vogt Brewers Jersey , but when he is in an excited state, that will not be the time to reward him. You may love and greet himher once he arrives in a calm submissive state. Soon you will see he greets you calmly because he had been rewarded before that way in the past.
