Scarcely any other branch OF the Jug
gler's art has borne such remarkable
fruit during the last few years as that
relating to dog training. OF course
the training of dogs is nothing new.
for there have always been learned

professors of kinology," as they are
pleased to call themselves, is, IF / rest

place daily.
1t is the popular impression that
trick animals, and especially dogs are
educated only by means of kindness
Professional trainers promulgate this
theory. but IT is far from true. Force,
and even downright cduelty. is almost
constantly used in educating animals
for the variety stage or the circus ring
Certainly the dog is capable of receiv-
ing a very elaborate education: never
theless, IL you depend entirely on his
intelligence you run considerable risk
OF obtaining no result. 1t is possible
that In play your pet takes pleasure in
obeying you. but the moment you exact
precise work from him he is another
creature. In fact, the intelligence OF
the dog is a resource which he forth
with begins to use for his own de-
Tense for the Illustration of your plans.

dress.

nearly always after n series OF severe
corrections. that he decides TO execute
a movement which he has no desire TO
make. Thus. indeed. his intellectual
powers, highly developed by the disci-
pllne. become the channel by which
you can slowly inculcate a certain
number of accomplishments. All that
he is capable of comprehending must
be repeated a great many times until
he acquires an automatic eXactitude
so that when he is presented. to gbe
public he will do his turn merely by
the indications of the masters whip.
His reasoning faculties will not count
for anything then. The series of move

A dog may be taught TO walk upright.
