TEACH YOUR PUPPY A TRICK-2
Fetch - Stop'n'go!
Description
You will teach your dog to stay when you throw the ball or the stick, and to not move untill you tell him to "Go fetch!"
How to do it
It is really important that your dog knows how to stay and to fetch before you can teach him this trick (and he has to enjoy fetching things quite a lot).
Anyhow, make your dog stay, and then throw the stick - quite close to you and to your dog. Keep praising him while he doesn't move: your dog will be pointing at the stick but will stay, waiting for your order: after a few seconds say "Go!" - with a quite strong voice - and your dog will run to get the stick - give him a treat when he comes back to you.
If he runs after the stick as soon as you throw it, just say "No", go get the stick - and repeat (don't forget to always pratice stay, it's a great and very useful exercise!

TEACH YOUR PUPPY A TRICK -1
Bow (or stretch)
Description
As you may have already noticed, when your dog gets up for a good nap he usually stretches his front legs ending up in a bowing position: what you will learn here is to train your dog to "bow" at your command.
How to do it
Start with your dog standing on his four legs: say 'Bow' and push gently on the forward part of his back (close to the neck) while holding a hand under his rear legs. The result will be that he will lower his head and front part while leaving standing his rear part - thus "bowing".
Tips & Tricks
If you have the habit of "fighting" (always with tenderness!!) with your dog, you can teach him to bow before the fight will start: this way you will both look like two karate masters ready to wrestle!

MARUTI SUZUKI ASTAR
Maruti Suzuki faces a tougher competition when compared to a decade ago. Although its still the most popular brand in india, it needs model changes rather than few face-lifs and also introduce new models. Right now, many brands have two cars in the same segment. Unlike other markets, India seems to have good market for old generation cars which is available comparitively cheap, be it Accent, Octavia, Ikon, Lancer and Santro. With these ever increasing models, Maruti Suzuki is bringing out new models. This time, the A-star, which is probably in the same range as Maruti-Suzuki 800. As the company launched the new Swift Dzire it said A-star would be in the market this year end.
The Suzuki A-Star will be powered by an Euro 5-compliant 1.0L petrol engine with only manual transmission. Maruti Suzuki and Suzuki Motor Corporation had announced the global launch of a new concept car, the Suzuki A-Star Concept at the Auto Expo in New Delhi.
With a 5-year capital investment of $ 2.2 billion in a new car plant, a diesel engine manufacturing unit, a new engine series and new models, Maruti Suzuki is emerging as a global manufacturing hub for Suzuki operations worldwide. Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) is pursuing a world strategy designed for long-term growth. Following the launch of its acclaimed fourth world strategic model, the Splash, at the 2007 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, the company is developing the fifth exciting model in its strategy. It will be showing some of the forthcoming model’s design themes at Auto Expo 2008 in New Delhi* in the form of the Suzuki A-Star Concept.
