l'5f5 APPENDIX. 



a good method of securing the boy's seat. Take off the 

 legs of the chair and fasten it firmly to the end of the 

 board, with the back at right angles to it. An arm- 

 chair is best. 



In the middle of this room, vacant except for the 

 exercising apparatus, is a low platform, three or four 

 feet square, eight or ten inches from the floor. 



This is the goal, or station, to and from which 

 Juno's exertions are made. When she enters the room, 

 she goes at once to that, and waits for orders. 



There is a high-backed chair, also, in one corner of 

 the room, into which, at the word, she gets, and put- 

 ting her fore-paws on the back, she hides her face to 

 say her prayers. Like some other careless and per- 

 functory worshippers, she now and then peeps out to 

 fiee what. others are doing. But she never gets down, 

 no matter how much I walk about and talk to her. till

She plays L.iiL catches my hat, wears a cu^luiuu, 

 walks on her hind legs, and does many other things 

 with the greatest interest and eagerness. Any and all 

 of these tricks (and they may be varied almost indef- 

 initely) are taught with ease after the first fundamental 

 idea finds a lodgment in her brain, that is, that she must 

 understand and obey, especially obey. Always reward 

 your dog, both with words and some little treat of which 

 it is fond, after a lesson or practice hour. The kind 

 words are the most important. And you can teach 

 him almost anything you care to, without punishment. 

 Encouragement and petting will do wonders.
