Abstract: A method and device for training a dog is disclosed. In an embodiment of the method, a device is worn on the side the trainer's body at a height of the dog's head. A button on the device is activated by the dog's muzzle to generate a noise. A reward is given to the dog by the trainer following the activation of the button. In an embodiment of the device, the device includes a housing with a noise-generating element and a button for operation of the noise-generating element. An attachment device is provided on a back side of the housing, where the attachment device is coupleable to the trainer. An activation surface for the button is provided on a front side of the housing and a surface normal of the activation surface, when worn on the trainer's body, is inclined obliquely downward and laterally away from the trainer's body.

Abstract: The invention describes a process for the preparation of granular dye formulations by melt granulation, using a polyethylene glycol as melt vehicle. The essential feature of the invention is that a start is made from the dye which contains water, for example from the aqueous filter cake or synthesis solution, and adjusting the moisture content of the granular formulations to 1 to 30% by partial evaporation of water from the dye/polyethylene glycol melt.
