- The person to be surprised is to be surprised in a good way; not in a terrorizing way.
- The person to be surprised does not hate surprises.
- The person's close friends and/or family must be willing enough to coordinate with "you."
- TIMING. It is the most important thing.
Of course all surprises have a lot of variables to take note of. These things should be assured to lean on positive before pushing through: Technically, almost all surprise parties are good if all the variables above are followed. Birthdays, mother's day, Christmas, and all occasions and non-occasions in between. Does the person like you enough? Is it bothersome to visit? What is the best time to do this? Is your presence enough? Bring something nice: food, something "sweet," a valuable gift, a sentimental gift, etc. Let's face it, not all "spontaneous" hangouts are fun and routine hangouts get boring. Do at least 3 things both parties have never done, but always wanted to. Any good thing to see as soon as someone opens their eyes is an amazing feat. Starting a day happy is really a huge point. If food is the surprise, it should be the only surprise. No mess, no nothing. Pretty much everything someone says repeatedly means that much more.

Because just plain bubbles can be super bubbles. "5 easy steps to train your dogs NOT to pee in the house" | 100 Day Prompt Challenge | Day 52 | Turf6/1/2014 Dogs are territorial. One might say that this is one of the biggest reasons why dogs pee everywhere. It is their way of showing that the place itself is their "turf." A better way to keep your dog intact and yourself sane, is to give them their own area. Control the distinctive areas as to where your dogs can/cannot go. Here are some steps to train your dogs NOT to do their business in places you don't want them to: 1. Find a fixed spot where you want your dog to do the business.It's not a matter of where you DON'T want them to do their business, it's a matter of where you WANT them to do it. 2. Keep an eye on your dog and observe the actions they do before they do the deed.Most dogs/puppies sniff around in circles before they do the deed. However, all dogs are unique. Although most dogs sniff and circle around, other dogs have high levels of energy. Those that do often bark, cry, or even run around before the release. 3. Do not shout/scold/spank your dog if they do their business indoors or places you don't want them to.Pets rarely learn from negative reinforcement. Most of the time it causes them to be anxious. Anxiety is never good for dogs. The key to a happy, smart pet is positive reinforcement. Pay no attention to the mistake of peeing/pooping indoors. Just make sure to clean it up nicely and observe them enough to know the next time they might release. 4. Familiarize your dog to the fixed spot for them to do their business.Puppies have less control of their bladder. Like babies, they release at least every 1-2 hours. Be sure that you lead your puppies to the area that you have chosen in this given time. Dogs are able to control their bladder better than puppies, making them easier to train. Most dogs mostly only release after meal times or in between intakes of liquid within the day. Make sure that after each intake, you lead your dog to the fixed area. Wait 15-20 minutes until they release and praise them like crazy. Note: It is important that you DO NOT hold or carry your dog/puppy to the area. Pets might misunderstand the holding as affection. Affection must only be given AFTER they have done the deed on the right spot. If affection is given before the dog/puppy has achieved the goal, the idea of learning to go to the area decreases in your pets mind. 5. Be consistent.Training a pet requires a lot of patience and consistency. If you keep doing things different, then your pet will keep doing things differently and will not learn any specific thing you want them to do. If you have housemates, make sure they are aware of the importance of your pet's training. They may not want to be involved in the actual training, but the importance of distance and avoidance of non trainers is big. Any inconsistent actions toward your pets may cause them to rethink what you want them to accomplish.
