Training \ Dog.


Jumping Is the easiest thing to
teach your dog. First, put him in a
corner and hold cane before him,
so that he cannot get out without leap
ing over 1t. You must not hold II very
high, or he will crawl under Il; make
him hold his head up, however, and
you will prevent that Keep at 1t until
he understands what you want, and
he will jump without hesitation. After
the trick has been learned In the cor
ner 1t may be tried out in the room.
Later on you may get him to jump
through hoop. and still later through
hoop covered with tissue paper, max
ing him break through the paper as
he jumps. This will require a good
deal OF patience. but II may be done.
and Is so odd that you ought to try 1t.
Another easy trick is sitting up. Be
gin this In corner, too. Place the dog
In sitting posture, with his back
against the wall, and keep him in that
position by tapping him gently under
the chin; he will soon understand what
you want. Then try him out In the
room. Take hold of his fore paws, and.
having raised him to an upright posi-
ton, force him gently down to a sit
ting position. Gradually release his
paws and give him confidence by cry
ing STEADY, Steady" Reward him
by a little bit OF candy or some other
sweet, and you will soon have him SO
that he will assume that position in
stantly on your saying "Up!'
After You have taught him to sit
up" you may easily make him stand
erect on his hind legs. Reward him
after every trial and you will have no
trouble about IT, Then you can make
him walk on his hind legs. Begin this
part OF the training by making him
stand up, and then gradually coax
him along by offering the sweet, hold
ing 1t close to his mouth. but making
him keep his upright position by your
commands. One important thing In
teaching dog Is never to allow him
to come to the end of trick without
orders from you; you must not let him
stop when he pleases At the same
time you must be careful not to make
him perform for too long a time; you
must not weary him, and thus make
him dread the performance. And an
other thing-you should never think of
using the whip, or OF furnishing the
dog In any way; kindness and patience
will accomplish wonders.

A weapon that is mightier

At touch of this rare sword,
And untrod forests fall and die
