Dogs
By Peter Boaes

Your dog is friendly and loyal ane
gentle to you and to your family ane
to certain visitors. But with many
outsiders, his temper is uncertain
Some one comes into the house. HI
snarls. Or some one meets him II
your home or in the street. The dos
growls and then bites. He is gentle
as a kitten with some children
Other children he attacks. What i!
to be done about It?
Well, there are several things tt
be done about it. For instance
Keep him away from children. Chill.
dren mean well, as a rule. But theil
impulse sometimes is to tease a dog
He retaliates by swapping. Their
there is a neighborhood squabble
perhaps lawsuit. Keep him away
from children, and keep children
away from him. In that way you
may avert much trouble.
Do the same in the case of grown
people you and your dog meet ir
the street. In the case of author.
lied guests who visit your home, try
to keep your uncertain-temperec
dog out of their way. When he at
tacks, unprovoked, punish him in
stantly, and make sure he under
stands what he is punished for.
A wealthy Boston resident a few
years ago was persuaded by his
wife to have his portrait painted
After the artist had completed his
work and the beautifully framed
result arrived at the mans Beacon
Street home there was much dis.
cussion as to where to hang it
Finally 1t was placed over the
mantel in the living room.
But 1t didn't stay there long
Mike, the gentleman's pet Irish set.
ter, sat and barked furiously at tht
painting no matter where it wa:
placed. Mike couldn't understand
why the picture wouldn't play with
him when he barked at it, and NJ
amount of training could break hin
of the habit. Today the painting
can be found gathering dust in {
storeroom and the dog sleeping
peacefully in the living room.
A dog connects what is said tt
him with something he happens tt
be doing at the time. For instance
He is coming into the house. Yot
tell him to go back. He stops, be.
cause your tone implies displeas'
ure at his actions. A cordial Come
on in, boy!" signifies your approva
of his entering the house.
On the other hand, he may be
thinking of something else when you
say Heal" and that command must
start whole new line of thought ir
his brain. I find that if I wai
until a dog is in the act Of lying
down, the command, "Up!" is obeyec
instinctively. If 1t is followed
quickly by the command, "Lie
down" he seems to get the idea
and obeys. I use the same pro.
cedure with all other orders and the
results have been most gratifying.
