By following a few simple rules anyone can train a dog, for instance, to bring one's slippers or hide a handkerchief, to sit up or lie down at the word of com mand. The training of a regular trick dog for the theatre or public exhibitions is of course a far more difficult task. An education of this kind makes a dog far more interesting and valuable. Incident ally a few minutes devoted to the exer cise daily will be enough to teach any ordinary dog several new tricks in the course of one month and very likely in much less time. found practically impossible to make any headway if the dog's mind is shifted from one thought to another. The dog again should be in a normal condition. If it be excited or excessively sensitive it will be found much better to forego the lesson for the day. As a general rule it is better to give the les son just before a meal. The food may then be given as a reward. After a meal the dog is likely to be heavy and sleepy and will require too much urging. It is obviously important that one dog should be trained at a time, for the pres ence of another dog will naturally dis tract attention. Begin with the simplest tricks. A regular trainer of animals in commenc ing with a new dog usually starts with the sitting-up exercise. The word of command to be used with the trick, as with all others, must be decided upon at the first, and never varied. Another important poiDt is to use the same in flection in giving the command. A dog may associate entirely different mean- CALIFORNIA BELL BOY. PINEHURST'S BEST AND TYPICAL OF THE MODERN SETTER OF "CLASS' The key to success in all animal train ing is patience. Dogs arc very quick to learn, and as a rule they are more than willing to be taught. In most cases the training of a dog merely consists in con veying to him the meaning of your words. Successful training is a matter of coaxing and persuasion- rather than of driving. The great mistake the amateur trainer makes is to imagine that a dog can be punished into obeying ; a kind word or a caress will be found far more effective than a whip. It is, of course, proverbial that one cannot teach an old dog new tricks. It is much better to begin with a young dog but not a puppy. One of the most im portant rules to remember is that you must always have the dog's complete at tention. It is best to work with a dog in a room closed to all intrusion, or in some quiet, secluded place. Any interruption which distracts the dog's attention, how ever slight, is to be avoided. It will be ings with different inflections in pro nouncing the same word. One may use a sentence for the command, if desired, but in this case the actual word of com mand must come at the end and be spo ken with special emphasis. To teach the sitting-up trick take firm hold of the front paws and raise the dog to the desired sitting position. At the same time repeat the word of command over and over again. After a few mo ments in this position let the dog fall into its normal position and then after a slight rest repeat the operation and the command. Never attempt but one trick at a time. Excellent results are obtained by giving the dog an object lesson when ever possible. In this case take position before the dog similar to the one you are teaching him to assume. By con stant repetition the dog learns to associ ate the word of command with this posi tion and soon learns to take it without being raised. A
