To teach Pups Cleanliness 



Never pass over any misdemeanour. When the puppy 

 misbehaves, take it up to the place, speaking angrily, rub 

 its nose on the ground, and give it a smart slap on the 

 lower part of the back, taking care not to touch the spine, 

 head, or ears. Put it out of doors and make much of it 

 when outside, and speak kindly to it whilst out. It should 

 be put out five or six times a day at regular intervals, one 

 being the first thing in the morning, and late in the 

 evening. Have all the soiled places washed with water and 

 a very little Condy's fluid, and pepper well. When the 

 dog becomes restless and begins sniffing about it should

 and have two or three pieces ready besides. Give him a 

 piece or two at first without the pill, and let him see more 

 is to come, and he will probably bolt the first morsel, and 

 look up for the next, and so on. With fluid medicines sit 

 on a chair and take the dog between the knees and throw 

 , a towel over his legs. Keep the mouth shut and pull out 

 the back of the lips gently, or the skin of the cheek, so as 

 to form a kind of a cup, into which a helpmate pours the 

 medicine. Some dogs are very savage in giving them 

 medicine, and the only plan is to muzzle them, as the cheek 

 can be easily pulled out if not too tightly muzzled. 



Training Dogs to go into the Water 



The best plan is to give a dog the companionship of 

 another dog that is fond of the water. No 'one should
