Need Tips on Training New Pup?

Question by : Need tips on training new pup?
Athena is my pitbull 6 weeks old. I’d like tips on potty training eating habits and just any good habits to get into. It has been a while since I owned a pup so any help is good. She will be raised as an inside dog but we have a mutt outside she will be friends with. My wife and I both work so we can’t always be there but we also have a garage we could make a pen in or a crate until she is old enough to hang outside. Like I said any useful information will be greatly appreciated.

What Are Some Heroin Detox Alternatives?

Question by stoopid6: What are some heroin detox alternatives?
I have a friend that is addicted and wants to detox but he works and cannot go into a hospital to detox. He has tried cold turkey and cannot do that either. He previously was in a methadone program but doesn’t want to go back there because they keep the addicts on methadone for a very long time. Sometimes more than a year. I’ve heard there is a drug he could take for a few days that will take away the withdrawal symptoms but I don’t know the name or where he would go to get it.

Please help me help him. Thanks.
