A train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track (permanent way) to transport freight or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway. Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive, or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives or by electricity supplied by overhead wires or additional rails, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power. Other sources of power (such as horses, rope or wire, gravity, pneumatics, and gas turbines) are possible. The word 'train' comes from the Old French trahiner, itself from the Latin trahere 'pull, draw'. From Wikipedia under the

Who trains the dog in your family? Is every member of the family doing the same training? I really believe in training my dogs very consistently. How does your family treat your dog? Is everyone on the same page? Is it bad to have one person training the dog and others family members not? What is your experience? Asked by Top Cat - Sun Aug 16 20:33:21 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's just me and my boyfriend living together and he works a lot and the dogs pretty much ignore him. They have all been trained by me for the past 10yrs when i got the first. I don't think it is bad just having one person training, as long as the dog knows it's place at the bottom i don't see a problem. Obviously everyone in the household will need to be consistent with the dog and correct any inappropriate behavior. I believe the main training can be done by one person and not affect the dog or family negatively as long as it is done properly.
