Good Manners in the Dog 
TN our complex life today the keeping of 
a dog is often a matter of considerable 
sacrifice of time and convenience and often 
entails some hardships. The difficulty of 
transporting our pets when we must move, 
the trouble of cleaning, washing and feed¬ 
ing, the nuisance of hairs on our lounges, 
window seats and best clothes—these are 
all little disadvantages of having dogs, but 
to those of us who love them are not 
worth consideration when weighed against 
the great pleasure of a faithful, constant 
companion. 
If we wish to gratify our longing to 
have our friend, the dog, with us, and thus 
to develop a side of our nature that ought 
not be neglected, we should willingly put 
up with some of the petty annoyances. 
What is more, a careful training can do 
away with many of the distasteful ele¬ 
ments. A good dog really reflects a good 
master, for the slipshod man who neglects 
his pets or the over-indulgent one who 
spoils them, is a man who would act in a 
parallel manner with his children. No 
one should have a dog unless he is ready 
and anxious to exert his influence, spend 
his time and lend his careful attention to 
bringing up his canine companion in the 
way he should go about it. 
With these things granted there are 
some things to be suggested to make the 
dog what he should be. First, you must 
insist on cleanliness and stringently, if 
necessary. You can form a habit for your 
dog that will not he broken if established 
early. A young puppy should not be al¬ 
lowed in the house, except occasionally, 
and never after he has been sleeping, un¬ 
less he has been allowed outside for 
awhile. When he does wrong he should 
at once be scolded and clearly shown that 
he has misbehaved. When you scold a 
dog don’t turn around and pat him and 
say, “good fellow,” or he will never be 
obedient. A firm hand is necessary and 
one that assists in shaping his course of 
life. The dog should early be taught his 
province, made to recognize his bed and 
given to understand that there are certain 
sections of the house which he must not 
enter. Regularity of training makes regu¬ 
larity of habits and will make your dog a 
pleasure to have around, not a nuisance. 
Those animals that keep up a constant 
yap-yapping whenever the door bell rings, 
that climb all over visitors, have their beds 
on livingroom pillows and enter the din¬ 
ing room, whining during meals, simply 
cause trouble to their owners because they 
have not been taught what is right. You 
don’t need to be cruel but you can be firm 
and it should be a subject of pride to you 
to know that your dog is well brought up.
