152 a)f jFoMing- 



When you have acquainted him with the word fui- 

 table to his Leffon, you muft then teach him to know 

 the word of Reprehenfion, which at firft Qiould not be 

 ufed without a Jerlc. You muft alfo ufe words of che- 

 ri(hing, to give him encouragement when he does well : 

 and in all thefe words you muft be conftant , and let 

 them be attended with fpitting in his mouth, or che- 

 rifning of the hand. There is alfo a word of Advice, 

 inftruding him when he does amifs. 



Having made him underftand thefe feveral words, 

 you muft next teach him to lead in a ftring or Collar 

 orderly, not running too forward, nor hanging back- 

 ward. After this you muft teach him to come clofe at 

 your heels without leading > for he muft not range by 

 any means, unlefs it be to beat Fowl from their Covert, 

 or to fetch the wounded. 



In the next place you muft teach him to fetch and 

 cairy any thing you throw out of your hands. And firft 

 try him with the Glov«, ftiaking it over Ws Head, and 

 making him fnap at it j and fometimes let him hold 

 it in his mouth, andftrive to pull it from him h and at 

 laft throw it a little way, and let him worry it on the 

 ground : and fo by degrees make him bring it yon- 

 where- ever you throw it. From the Glove you may 

 teach him to fetch Cudgels, Bags, Nets, &c. 



If you ufe him to carry dead Fowl , it will not be 

 amifs i for by that means he will not tear or bruife 

 what Fowl you ftioot. 



Having perfc<^ed this Leffon, drop fomething be* 

 hind you which the Dog doth not fee i and being 

 gone a little way from it, fend him back to feek it, by- 

 faying, Bacl^^ I have hfi. If he feem amazed, point 

 with your Finger, urging him to feek out , and leave 

 him not till he hath done it. Then drop fomethiwg' 

 at a greater diliance, and make him find out that too, 

 till you have bioughc him to go back a mile.
