The Right Way to Train a Doq.

Forest and Stream has given some
wise talk to boys in regard to bringing
up dogs from puppyhood and turning
them into good citizens of the canine
world.
The writer says:
There are two or three things which
you must try to remember in connect
ion with the little animal for which
you have taken the responsibility.
You must remember, in the first
place, that it is like any other young
creature, full of spirits thinking only
about itself and determined to do those
things which seem pleasant to it.
Your business is to undertake it's ed
ucation. You must begin by making
1t fond of you, and that means that
you must treat it kindly, play with it
more or less, feed it yourself. and. in
short, cause it to look to YOU for all
the things that make its life pleasant
very patiently, very firmly, you must
instruct it, little by little. in good man.
ners. You must teach it that some
things may be done, and that other
things are not permitted.
You must remember that this little
animal has no knowledge of the Eng
fish language, and that your words, in
new command, are meaningless
sounds. One of your first duties is.
therefore, to teach it what these
sounds are intended to convey. and the
lesson is effectual only by enforcing
obedience to the command as soon as
it is uttered, Thus if you are teach.
ing the pup to charge, which means
to lie down, whenever you use the
word place your hands on him and gen
tly force him to the ground, his legs all
under him and his head fiat between
his paws. But do not be in haste
about it. You may easily confuse
and bewilder puppy, and it is much
better to let his education proceed
slowly than to make him suffer from
unreasonable demands.
One reason why boys-and men
also-lose patience with dogs they are
training is that they forget how hard
1t is for the dog to understand what
they mean. Sometimes it does han
pen that dog is headstrong and oh
stinate, but this is very rarely true of
PUPPY. If he fails to mind" the
failure is good evidence that he is not
yet familiar with the English language.
