Cesar suggests baby steps when training a puppy so Lilly and I started out with a simple introduction and focused on our getting in and out routine.
Your Puppy, Your Car (And You) from Samantha Roberts on Vimeo.
Materials: 1 crate, 1 comfy blanket and a couple of treats
Use the treat to entice her sense of smell and lead her to where you would like her to go.
Make sure you and your puppy are clam and relaxed during each step before your move on to the next. If any behavior you do not approve of starts to happen stop it before it escalades and problems can be stopped before they get a chance to control your life. A super easy way to make sure your puppy stays relaxed is to let her complete the steps at her own pace.

Mark and I added a new addition to our little family.
Meet Lilly from Samantha Roberts on Vimeo.
She is a great puppy. This is how she rides in our car.
But I got to thinking. This might not be the safest I also dont want to have to worry about her doing anything to the brand new car. Using my favorite tool, Cesar Millan’s book How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond Lilly and I are going to learn the right and safest way for her to ride in the car. We will be posting videos the rest of the week so you can see our progress.

It happens to most drivers a few times a year. You’re sailing along on the freeway when you’re forced to come to a stop, or at least a crawl. You can’t see why things are slowing around the bend – and when you get there, traffic is moving better.
Traffic planners call this a “shockwave.”
Here’s how it happens:
- Traffic is rolling along at 60 mph when someone slows to 50 mph. In this example, the driver in Car B does so to avoid hitting Car A, whose driver swerves at the last second to exit.
- The next driver slows to 45 mph to maintain a safe distance from cars A and B.
- Drivers farther back see the brake lights and begin slowing down.
- The pattern continues, and more drivers apply their brakes until traffic comes to a crawl. By the time the rear of the jam catches up to where the shockwave began, the offending parties are long gone and there is no sign of what caused the problem.

We gave Brant Fischer and Katherine Foster the opportunity to spend a week with the all-new Ford F150. Brant is a Project Engineer for Messer Construction Co. here in Cincinnati and the perfect candidate to critique the F150. Below in their own words Brant and Katherine describe their week from both a male and female perspective. (Full Disclosure: Brant and Katherine were not compensated for their review).
Brant: Envy of the Construction Site:
The first full day I had with the 2010 Ford F150 started out with my daily commute across the river to the construction site, where I am a manager. Each morning we have our daily huddle meeting with our crews outside of the office trailer next to where we park. As I rolled up into the parking lot, I saw 20 sets of eyes follow my truck across the lot and to my parking space. As soon as I got out of the truck, I immediately received many ohhs and ahhs. I could tell by their expressions that they were jealous of the fine truck sitting in my parking space.
Most of my use of the truck basically just consisted of me driving the truck on my regular route to work. I had the chance to explore many of the amazing features that the truck came with. One of my favorite features was the air conditioned seats. I’ve never seen air conditioned seats in any vehicle, let alone an F150. Another feature I enjoyed was the Bluetooth connectivity to the stereo. Because I have an Android phone that allows Bluetooth connections, I was able to hook the phone up to the truck’s radio and use it to make and receive phone calls and even play my Pandora radio stations through the stereo in the truck!
