You may not like what you are abut to hear, but it is what you need to know: First do not use any chemical as it may deteriorate your piping and cause even bigger problems. You need what is called a "toilet snake" or a plumber with one. You will have to pay for emergency service so it may run $90 to $150/ hr depending where you live. If you think you can handle it yourself the snake is avilable at most hardware and big box constrution suppliers (lowes, Home Depot) for about $15... basicly a solid pipe with a handle on the end that twists a flexible neck at the business end where there is a corkscrew shaped sping. The toilet has a reservoir that is shaped like an S on its side. The flexible part of the snake is forced through the s shape by the pipe, then the handle can be twisted to tear up the poop and toilet paper so it flows away. The snake has a special rubber liner at the end of the pipe so it will not scratch the porceline liner of your toilet like a hanger would. There is also the remote possiblity that the problem is in your "sewer stack" (toilet pipes). You can be sure by running yor sink. they are almost always connected to the same line as te adjacent toilet so if it drains freely the snake will fix it fine. Be sure to cllean the area where the toilet water hit with disinfectant. Toilets harbour some nasty bacteria that would love to dwell in your flooring.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://biturl.im/aUA5L
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don't achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren't putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Each dog is different, so I watch the dog to see what it is responding to. Learn here http://onlinedogtraining.enle.info/?aWNc
I use different words, sounds, hand signals for each of my puppies. If the commands are not working, I change them. I do not beat, yell, or rub their nose in pee. I don't use the command "no" because it confuses puppies. The words, "know, no" come up in conversation, and it confuses them, I use something like "shame" or "ssht" or "off" or "settle down" or whatever that puppy responds to. Some I use signs from sign language, some I use thumbs up hand signal if I want them to continue what they are doing, or a shake of a finger like I am scolding them, if I don't want them to continue what they are doing. I was taught that puppies/dogs want to please you, so I focus on that. I teach them what behaviors I allow and what ones I don't allow and remember to praise good behavior so they keep doing it. There isn't a right or wrong answer in my world, what works for one puppy might not work for another. I do a lot of things you would find farmers do with their dogs, it doesn't have to make sense in my world, it just has to work. My neighbor calls the ducks with a duck call and they come. I burp on the way down to the pond and the ducks come for me when I burp. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to work. I want to train my angel dolls, I don't want them to be terrified of me, and I don't have to make them terrified of me to get them to please me, just like I didn't have to make my troops terrified of me to get the job done. I address a behavior the second it starts, each time it starts as many times as it takes until I win the war. I realize my IQ doesn't matter, diplomas and awards don't matter, I am about to do battle with an 8-week-old puppy who is already smarter than I am, and hopefully at the end of training, they are trained, and I have the very smallest amount of sanity left

Try the old water hose trick. Get a medium size hand towel and fold it length wise atleast twice and wrap it around the nozzle of the water hose and stick it down the commode. Have someone turn water on full blast while you hold the water hose in tightly at the bottom of the commode. Do not let water come up. Aim towards the flushing hole and the pressure of the water along with not letting water escape into the commode bowl will unclog your commode. Of course needless to say you will need some long plastic gloves. If you do not have gloves than find two white mens socks and put them on your hands with a plastic trash bag on top. Make sure to cut the water off on the bottom wall behind the commode. good luck.

Turn the water off at the bottom of the toilet! Then throw about a half a bottle of bleach down there. Let it sit for a while. While you are waiting, go buy a plunger. When you get home, plunge it and turn the water back on. It should fix it, but I would definitely have a professional come out and take a look asap!

Relax. Turn off the water to the toilet. That's the little valve right behind it. Have a beer. OK, by now the water has reached a manageable level. Have another beer. Go ask a neighbor if they have a toilet snake. If so, use it. If not, call a plumber. Now it's time for a Scotch and soda, 'cause the plumber's gonna cost $85.00.
