YouTube probably has videos covering practically every topic including potty training puppies.

And, there are also many music videos. One of my favorites is Susan Boyle.

Magic is a favorite interest of mine too. There are a lot of great magic clips like this one of Lance Burton.

Besides my fovorites, there are also videos for the aforementioned great debates and zebra fingernail designs

There’s a debate about different ways for potty training puppies.  One camp says you should use a dog-crate while the other favors paper training.  Both have their pros and cons.  In many ways, it comes down to your lifestyle.  If you’re not home very much, crate training is the way to go.  Even if you’re home all the time, crate training gives you more options than paper training.

There’s a great article about crate training here.

As far as many of the exercises go it doesn’t matter if you use an eco friendly yoga mat or a regular yoga mat as long as they are non slip and provide a good cushioning effect.  However, it does matter to the planet!  There is enough non-degradable waste going into land fills today that adding more just doesn’t make sense.  An eco friendly mat can be as good if not better than any other kind of mat.  However, any mat, eco friendly or not, can have toxins so be sure to read the label to see what the mat you’re buying is made of.  There a good opinion piece about toxic yoga mats here.
