they grow older. I know a woman here In
New York whose husband cannot come in
touching distance Of her 80 long rs her
dog is n the room. Now tina, ie a collie,
n of the most amiable Of all breeds Of
dogs. They have had IL since it was a
puppy, and have allowed II TO become
'The mistress Of this dog engaged meto
give 1T lessons and teach IL to control its
feelings. / did Il every day for three weeks
and at the end OF the time gave up. She
refused to infiiot the punishment and the
dog was totally indifferent to all that l
could do. In a case OF that sort 1t should
always be the person Of whose attention
the animal is jealous that Furnishes il.
:Another case Of jealousy which ! have
not succeeded in curing Ia that OF q young
English bull. The dog was less than 3
months old when / took it in hand. That
now [ cannot perceive IL. though It's owners
assert that they see a great change for the
better.
'1he object Of it's affection ia the baby
Of the house; Nobody except the nurse
STRANGE from that dog. It's not very
pleasant when the baby is taken out for
an airing to have this pup barking and
swapping at everybody who daree 70 pass
It's carriage. or when the child's mother
takes a friend to the nursery to have their
entrance barred by the dog. -
although the baby's father Is not al
lowed 10 approach his child, he refuses TO
get rid OF the dog. He says 1t 10 not only
the best insurance against hdnappers,
but when the boy gets older 1t win Be the
best playfellow he a have.
Many Of my pupils l teach to under
stand French. The majority Of fashion
able people speak French. They have to.
you know, for the best Wallets and ma ids
are French. They wish their dogs trained
TO understand when spoken TO in that
language,
ASIDE from the convenience, IL gives an
added interest 60 q little pet to be able 10
whisper to II in a Language that those
around you do not understand. and 70 give
It orders in a foreign language and cause
your friends to wonder at Its intelligence
in obeying.
MANY women use French entirely when
speaking 10 their dogs on the street, They
in French. while II they we're TO do It in
English they would not only be considered
brutes, but also feel as II they really were
brutes. You zee French IL q language
for saying d~isagresable thing, pleasantly,
seem as amiable when one loses ones
temper
sThe best plan to train dogs and the plan
/ should always like TO pursue 10 90 take

languages. Let II know just how far II
should keep from the person Il is walking
with. Teach II not to stop TO greet another
dog without permission
SYes, the average dog can learn all this
and moro besides. ] have many dogs here
in New York that could not be induced to
notice q strange dog OF the street. They
keep at the heels Of the person who IL es-
corting them. and under no ~provocation
would they do more than turn out Of the
way Of a cross or too friendly specimen Of
their kind. ~

sThs majority Of highly bred dogs are fed
