100 MODERN TRAINING. 



patently fixed, materially assists to direct him, and at a 

 proper juncture, the trainer moves his toes in his shoe with- 

 out moving the rest of his person, and the dog, observing 

 the signal, picks up the block next to him. 



The order, ware, signifying that the dog is to desist 

 from certain acts or intentions, is not used in this country. 

 Exclamations should be used as little as possible, as they are 

 not an artistic accessory to handling a dog. When a dog 

 shows an intention to jump a fence when it is not desired 

 that he should do so, instead of bellowing Ware fence! or 

 Hi ! the handler should blow the signal on the whistle to 

 turn, which is equally effective, if the dog is properly trained, 

 and much more elegant. 



Promiscuous, purposeless orders will detract from the 

 dog's interest, and if, unwisely, he is deceived intentionally 

 many times, he becomes disobedient and indifferent.
