OF SHOOTING,, 



whatever side you please, by only giving him 

 a sign with the hand. When the dog is ar- 

 rived at this point of instruction be careful 

 to keep him constantly tied up, never unchain 

 him but when you give him his food, and not 

 always then, but at those times only when he 

 has done something to deserve it. The next 

 istep will be to throw down a piece of bread 

 on the ground, at the same moment taking 

 liold of the dog by the collar, calling out to 

 him take heed, softly ; after having held him 

 in this manner for some space of time, say 

 to him seize, lay hold, if he is impatient to 

 lay hold of the piece of bread before the sig- 

 nal is given, correct him gently with a small 

 whip ; repeat this lesson until he takes heed 

 well, and no longer requires to be held fast 

 to prevent him from laying hold of the bread. 

 When he is well accustomed to this manage, 

 tarn the bread with a stick, holding it in the 

 manner you do a fowling-piece, and having 

 done so, cry seize. Never suffer the dog 

 to eat either in the house or field, without 

 having first bid him take heed in this manner.
