with the whip. This will cause him to 

 dash wildly round his cage, but you can 

 easily get him in a corner, with his heels 

 towards you, and his head away. Go 

 carefully up the near side, till you get 

 hold of his head, and begin all over again, 

 each time that he turns his heels towards 

 you hitting them smartly with the whip. 

 Five minutes of this simple lesson, patting 

 his neck when his head is towards you, 

 and hitting his heels when they are 

 towards you, will convince him that his 

 only safety lies in keeping that part of 

 him next you which receives no punish- 

 ment. He will soon follow your whip- 

 hand backwards and forwards, in and 

 out, round and round, or in any strange 

 figure you like to devise.
