What's my favorite dog breed's name?

 
AKITA


This is a large and powerful breed, with much substance and heavy bone; it is slightly longer than tall. The Akita's build reflects its original job of hunting big game through deep snow and rugged terrain. Its double coat consists of a dense undercoat and a straight, harsh, outer coat — about 2 inches or less in length — standing off from the body. Such a combination provides ample insulation from water and weather. Its gait is brisk and powerful. The Akita is a versatile dog of large spitz type. It is able to perform as a hunting companion and protector.

Act 02.- Go to Pets 101 > dog guide > dog training > Can dogs understand what we say?

First, read the text.
Then select 5 words you don't know and find their meaning.
Finally, write a 30-40 summary of the text 

Words: 

leash: correa
neighborhood: vecindad.
On the other hand: por otro lado
deaf: sordo
prais: elogiar. 

The text says that dogs can understand signals from the humans , they associeate the signals, verbal or non verbals signals, with the meaning in real life of that signal. If you say "I hate you little dog" in a good way, meanwhile you are with a smile in your mouth and transfer to the dog possitive vibrations, he will understand that you are praising him. They recieve the vibrations, they associate "leash" with a walk on the park.

> Act 03.- Select 3 TV shows that attract your attention. In one or two lines for each show, tell me why you would like to watch it.

Whale wars vikings shores: Because I belive that its important for people to know that whales are being killed just for money, not for survival, for money.

Finding Bigfoot: Because I would love to know if Bigfoot exist or he doesn't.

Bad dog!: Because we can learn how to teach our mascot when they are doing thinks that don't like to us.
