Culinary training they have schools that specialize in this the only other way I know of is to have a chef teach you personally

2. What training methods would you use to train nonmanagerial employees on a new billing and recording system?

That depends upon the method of implementation. Is it to be phased in? ...beta tested? ...parallel processed? It also depends on the employees. Are they high school grads? ...recent hs grads? ...some college? ...older? Classroom plus OJT seems to be the best all-around choice - but... In the navy we would: See one - do one - teach one. By the third time you performed a task you were expected to be the subject-matter expert. I believe civilian standards are much lower.

3. What training would it take to be a true paranormal investigator?

There are no accredited universities in the US offering degrees in parapsychology. There are very few pracitcing parapsychologists in this country simply because, in all the years it has been studied, not once has there ever been a substantiable case of paranormal powers or activities. But if you want to study it, look up Joe Nickell (probably the only real paranormal investigator out there who actually uses real science) and CSICOP.

4. Can training classes offer anything that can't be taught from a good training manual?

Not only do they offer socialization, but they also know several different methods. So, if you hit a roadblock, the trainer can help you get around it. Your dog will learn how to handle distractions, which are hard to get when you're training at home. Your obedience training school will also have information on other programs you might be interested in, whether it's agility, freestyle, search rescue, therapy dogs, etc. You might also be surprised at how many human friends you walk away with as well!

5. What training is needed to become a bounty hunter?

I don't believe there is any REQUIRED training...however, if you're planning to go into the field, you're definitely going to want some different things. First, you'll need to be in pretty good shape. You have to remember, that many of these people are going to fight you, you need to be ready for that...which leads into #2...you'll definitely benefit from self-defense, martial arts training. Bounty hunters that carry guns, invite a whole extra can of trouble on themselves. Many people feel more powerful/more invincible with that gun. There's a reason many bounty hunters DON'T use guns. Take Dog Chapman...he and his crew use pepper/mace foam...as do many bounty hunters I know (though I don't know any of them all that well). Most bounty hunters are bail bondsman, and I do believe you have to be licensed for that...but for the act of going after someone jumping bail...again, I'm not sure. Go talk to a few bail bonds companies and ask them.

6. How much should I charge for creating a training manual for a company?

I don't see any reason to get greedy, no sense in aggravating a potential future reference. Presumably, you don't have any research to do on the computer/ accounting system. You merely write the manual from personal knowledge. I would recommend that you negotiate with the former boss for a project rate of between $ 75 - $ 100 /hr. With, an estimated 50% up-front and the balance due upon completion of the project, via invoice at the time of delivery, based on the number of hours actually expended. If you desire, you can negotiate a proviso that the manual is your property and that s/he is only licensingit for internal proprietary use and that any changes will be done by you. Get everything in writing. (Write the agreement yourself.)

7. At what age should you start potty training a toddler?

It depends on each child's maturity intelligence, but most mothers begin training at 18months and they have them trained by 2yrs to 2 1/2yrs at most!!! A 3 1/2yr old who isn't potty trained is a very bad way to raise a child in my opinion. It has to cause problems for the child and for everyone who has to care for her. Is the child normal? Just wondering.

8. When do you start training when a new puppy comes into your home?

Training starts the FIRST DAY you bring the puppy home. It takes a while, but you start immediately. NO... you NEVER wait till a pup is 6 mo old to start training him. You can find details on HOW to do it at the websites below.

9. What training should I start with for an 11 week old puppy?

Good start. If you dog is able to pay attention, you can work with 5 basic commands, sit, stay, down (lay down), heel and place. Give her the sit command, then help her to sit. Praise. Give her the heel command and start walking. Keep her right beside you and on the same side each time (your choice). Then stop with a sit command, and help her sit. Praise. Do this a few times. When she starts to get the hang of it, you can correct her. You can mix it with down command. To get her to go down, step on the leash and apply gentle pressure to start to get her down. Give her a hand command with that. Put the palm of your hand over her head (not on her head). The place command is helpful with visitors, or dealing with trouble, etc. Place a towel, blanket, or other bed type item that you want your dog to be on. Tell the dog place and take the dog over to the towel. As long as the dog is anywhere on the towel, praise the dog. The dog can stand, sit, pace, lay down, whatever just as long as she is on the towel. Vaccuums are good to get her used to. Put treats on it while it is off. Put treats on it while it is on, but not moving. Then finally when it is moving, just let her be around it. Have fun, and way to go with what you are doing.

10. What training you need before going up to a 4100m mountain?

Find a gym that offer tread miles or tread climbers machines that are in high altitude simulators. You ll need to condition up until you go on your trip.

11. What training would I need to become an air traffic controller?

Bluntly math doesn't matter. The only math you need to know is that an airplane moving at 60 miles per hour moves one miles per minute...an airplane at 120 miles per hour moves 2 miles in a minute and so on. I can divide by 60, therefore my math is good enough... You have 3 options. You have to either a) get hired off the street b) do ATC in the military or c) go to a CTI (controller training initiative) school. Getting hired off the street you take the test called the AT-SAT. Its pretty much can you do basic math, read dials and how do you function playing what amounts to a video game. Passing the interview and the AT-SAT via the off the street route doesn't get you anywhere. They then take the succeful people and pick a number at random, if your social security number ends in that number you're in, if not, tough luck. The OTS route is a tough road to hoe, 75% of those that go that way and pass the interview fail out and get fired at some point. With the application process that means less that 2.5% of potential controllers actually make it. I'd suggest either A) getting real world training in the military or B) going to a CTI school. The military, well thats obvious, talk to a recruiter. If you get the MOS you apply for, you'll be set for ATC once you get out. There are 13 CTI schools. They are all normal colleges and universities that the FAA has said, We like what you do in training, keep it up and we'll snap up your grads. Major in ATC at one and the FAA will hire you. In your position if you went the CTI route, get a simple associates degree. Take you one easy year and you're set. Jobs are set to seriously open up, the FAA is way behind the hiring curve and yes it is because of the PATCO firings in the 80's am ong other things. Do the OTS route, do the military, do CTI, doesn't matter (though I'd suggest the latter two). Just know the military and CTI ways will give you a serious advantage to getting through all the hurdles you'll face. I'm going through CTI aftter getting over 350 hours in flight time in my log book and a degree. I can't imagine getting thrown to the wolves doing the off the street thing. Even with what I have it still isn't easy. Just whatever option make sure you are out of the service / graduate / get through the AT-SAT and interview before you are 31. By that time you're too old to start. I'm not slighting the OTS people, kudos to anyone who can hack OK City in 7 weeks. My dad was Navy ATC and took a 16 week course and is stunned they compress it to 7 nowadays in the civilian world. Me I'm amazed they pressed military controllers in a mere 16 weeks. I have more formal training in math than the rest of my class having plowed through Trig and Calc for my first degree. Doesn't make you a better controller. That said the discipline to bust it and get a MS will seriously help you. Awesome? Yes. You play what amounts to a video game all day. The downside is there are lives on the line if you mess up. One big screw up makes a serial killer seem tame in comparison to your one mistake. The challenge is can you keep from messing your pants while blips shoot by at unreal speeds, no pause button, no time outs, just you and your brain in real time? Doesn't take a smart person. Just the right kind of person. Best of luck to you.

12. I am training for a marathon and need to have a radical hysterectomy. How long will recovery take?

I would suggest to not trust anyone on yahoo answers for a question like this. Wait until you talk to your doctor. hearing some answers from us isn't going to be correct.

13. How can I optimize my weight training workout?

For Size and strenght I would recommend bumping up the weight and lowering the reps. Move to more days of lifting and shift your cardio to interval speed training. Also shift your routine every 4-6weeks or whe you plateau. My week currently consists of MON: Chest/Tri TUE: Lowerbody/Core WED: Back/shoulders THUR:Cardio/Core FRI:Chest/Bi SAT:Lowerbody/Core SUN:OFF Do 3-4 exercises for each muscle group, 5-10 reps per. your last rep (especially your last 2 sets) should be to the point of muscle failure. I like to pyramid the large muscles ie chest, quads, hams going form higher reps to lower and increasing wieght, somehting like a 8-5-5-3 with the last set at 90% of your 1RM. You will want to take a longer break in between sets to let your muscles recover. Also look into a good supplement stack. You need 1.5-2g of protein per pound of bdoy wight minimum, creatine is a good supp, as well as various amino acids such as glutamine, arganine, etc. Feed your body to grow. Cardio move to a speed interval training...5 min wamrup and then 90seconds at 60-75% of max speed, then 30-60 seconds at 100%, then repeat for 5-8 reps, cool down. Don;t forget to work your entire core - not just abs and do not neglect your legs. squats and deadlifts are probably the two best all around lifts you can do, PERIOD! I don;t hit both on the same day, squat one, dead another. You should be sore somewhat...but honestly your body should be adapting to the lifitng and soreness is minimal. If not you maybe be over training. Supplements will help with recovery time too.

14. At what age should I start training my puppy?

You can start training as soon as you get the puppy home (which should be 6 weeks or after). I began crate training immediately, especially since this takes time. Additionally you should start saying your dogs name often as soon as it gets home. Once you get to know your dog and it's personality, you can start with teaching him/her other skills. I started with sit at about 10 weeks. I did lay down and shake next. Stay takes a little more time, but you can also teach come at the same time. I didn't teach speak until about a year later. Eventually I decided to teach high five. She just learned that one a few months ago and she's 3 years old. There's no age that is too late to teach a dog a new trick, contrary to the old saying. Crate training however, I would start with immediately. Good luck!

15. What additional training for Medical Assisting wanting to be a vet tech?

16. What do you think of litter box training for puppies? And how do you do it?

Here is a good site to help you litter box train your puppy http://www.kturby.com/litter/litter.htm However, there is a sentence where she says to shout at the dog..I TOTALLY disagree with shouting.. Litter box training is preferable to pad training, as pups find that VERY confusing.. However, unless there are elevators, more than a flight of stairs, or a disability that keeps you inside..I think outdoor training is very much better..If a male begins to lift his leg to pee, the litter box is a big problem, as is the pee pad.. Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished. A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk her outside, and stay with her UNTIL SHE 'goes'..Give her lots of praise when she does her job, play a few minutes, and come back in.. If you can spread down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give her a good place to go, so you can kind of aim her there, and not just all over your yard.. She should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime.. However, she will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on her..She will need to go during active play, and every time she wakes from a nap..If you watch her, you will see her acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when she needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..She won't even be aware...So its important to never scold her for peeing...***this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event***.. Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend.. Puppies physiology only allows them to hold pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen or crate at night.. She may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime.. By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have her petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..or less I house-train all of my pups before they ever leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents, before they are asking to be let out.. But, if you hang a little bell on the door, or a desk bell on the floor, and show her you are ringing the bell each time you take her out, she is likely to begin ringing the bell when she needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure.. Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training... If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep her away from those areas until she is a bit older.. I recommend using a soft step-in type harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning...Walking stimulates the bowels to move, more so than just putting the dog out..

17. What type of training would you suggest?

This isn't going to sound like it will do anything, but try it for a week and you'll notice. Take a ball in one hand, extend your arm all the way out to the side of you and rotate your arm in very small circles about 20 times forward, then 20 times backwards. Then switch to your other arm. Do this 3 times for about a week, then use two balls, if you can fit them in your hand. It will help you throw the ball a lot better. You'll be suprised.

18. What kind of training is one required to undergo in order to become a police officer?

If you get hired on by a police dept. you will go through a 6 month police academy that could be live in depending on the dept. The training consists of various laws, methods of arrests, emergency vehicle operations, physical training and tons more. You can choose to pay your way through a certified academy before getting hired but its like 5,000 and its all day so its pretty much impossible to work at the same time and even if you pass you still aren't guaranteed a job with the police department. In my opinion its best to get hired first because they pay for the academy AND you get a paycheck. Good luck

19. What kind of training would I need to be an air traffic controller?

My old high school friend had a degree in air traffic control and never found a job. They hire retired Air Force or other people who have experience. His FIL was a air traffic controller so thought it was a good idea. I would suggest joining the service to get the experience after getting your degree the do on the job training commercial airports can't do.

20. What is the process for training my dog to become a service dog? What sort of programs are available?

If you are not in the U.S., then generally you would have to work for an ADI recognized program. In the U.S., private trainers are permitted, but are uncommon. Most dogs aren't suited for service work. Paws with a Cause did a study showing that among rescues only one dog in a hundred was able to complete screening and training. Before you start training you have to temperament test. Service work is extremely stressful and requires a very very sound dog. Most rescues are going to come with some baggage. It wouldn't be fair to put a dog with baggage into a highly stressful career. Then you do health clearances, including OFAs on hips, elbows, thyroid and cardiac, plus a CERF. It takes two years to train a service animal and the investment in time and expenses runs into thousands of dollars. It just isn't practical to start training a dog without the health checks and risk putting all that training into a dog who has to retire early because of a health issue. These aren't pets, they are working dogs. They have to be healthy enough to work. If you really want to learn to train service dogs professionally, there is no way around it. You have to apprentice with a good program under trainers already experienced in training service dogs. It is significantly more involved than training pets to have good manners or even training a dog for obedience competition. Individuals with disabilities may choose to train service dogs for themselves, but those who would train them for others really need the credentials and those only come from real experience with an established program. Guide dogs are probably the most difficult to train and there are so many really good schools out there, like the Seeing Eye or Guide Dogs for the Blind, that private trainers of guide dogs aren't really sought out. In fact, in some states it is illegal to train guide dogs for others without a special license. You mentioned therapy. That's really different. It's more achievable. More dogs would be capable of doing it because there are no health clearances and the training is minimal. Note: therapy dogs are pets who visit facilities like hospitals or nursing homes to cheer up the residents, while a service dog is partnered with a person who is legally disabled. So you'd either have to do it with your own pets, or start a local program to help others get their dogs certified and coordinate visiting programs for the group. I'll tell you what is really needed, that would fit beautifully with rescue dogs. Emotional Support Animals. You'd have to become an advocate as well, but the training is basic. They just need good manners, like not barking all night or pooping everywhere. Under the Fair Housing Amendments Act (in the U.S.) people with disabilities and the elderly are permitted to keep well-behaved pets, called emotional support animals, even if their landlord has a no pets rule. We know how much an animal can give to people in isolation or chronic pain. They can be lifesavers. All that is needed is a letter from a doctor recommending the person have an Emotional Support Animal. Start with some therapy dogs doing visits to skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes, as well as psychiatric wards, to establish yourself with the medical providers of potential recipients of your emotional support animals. Let the doctors, etc., see first hand just how beneficial interaction with an animal can be to their patients, then suggest you are prepared to help individual patients find a suitable partner for an ESA. I don't know of anyone specifically targeting that market. It seems ideal to me, though, because both the animals and the humans are being rescued in such a situation, by each other. It can make for some really incredible bonds. If you still want to pursue the service dog thing, enroll at the Assistance Dog Institute (http://www.assistancedog.org/) or apprentice with an ADI (Assistance Dog International) accredited program. You can find a listing of ADI members here:http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org/membershipdirectory.php If you want to learn more about therapy dogs, try one of these sites: http://www.deltasociety.org http://www.tdi-dog.org/ http://www.therapydogs.com/ If you want to learn more about emotional support dogs, try wikipedia or Service Dog Central (http://servicedogcentral.org/content/node/256)
