October, 1912 
the puppy still refusing to come, walk 
quietly to him and without any further re¬ 
marks attach one end of the cord to his 
collar. Walk away a few feet with the 
other end of the cord and again order 
“come,” following it at once with a steady 
shortening of the taut string. As soon as 
he feels the pull of the cord the pup will 
be sure to hang back and very likely cut 
up all kinds of antics. Do not mind this 
in the least; do not hesitate a moment, but 
pull him steadily to you firmly but not 
roughly, repeating “come” in the usual 
tone. Then pat as before, move away a 
short distance if the dog does not move 
from the place to which he has been 
drawn, and again give the order. Wait 
an instant for him to come of his own ac¬ 
cord, and if he refuses bring the cord into 
play again. 
Half a dozen repetitions of this pulling 
process may teach the pup the why and 
the wherefore of it, or they may not. In 
either case, stop after the sixth or seventh 
time, untie the cord and give your pupil a 
chance to regain his probably ruffled com¬ 
posure. Let him move about the room 
freely without any attempt on your part 
to control his actions, and when he feels 
less dispirited, again bid him “come,” re¬ 
sorting to the cord treatment as before if 
necessary. 
It is not well in most instances to pro¬ 
long this lesson for more than fifteen min¬ 
utes with a young puppy ; in the case of 
a mature dog I strongly advise that you 
“stay with him” until no glimmer of 
doubt remains in his mind as to who is 
master. Throughout it is absolutely nec¬ 
essary that you refrain from all harshness 
of word or hand. Be kind but firm, in¬ 
sistent but not noisy, and do not move 
hurriedly about. Dogs are very easily af¬ 
fected by the temperament of their train¬ 
ers and are quick to perceive the slightest 
giving way to irritation or impatience. 
When the lesson is over open the door 
and let the puppy out. Treat him exactly 
as if nothing out of the ordinary had hap¬ 
pened and do not attempt another session 
with him for several hours at least. On 
the other hand, do not allow more than 
a day to elapse between lessons, for grow¬ 
ing puppies can forget a great deal in a 
short time. Continue the cord, collar and 
room treatment until the two first men¬ 
tioned are no longer necessary. Then 
stretch your arms, take a deep breath and 
whistle, if you want to, for the first and 
hardest battle has been practically won. 
Perhaps you wonder why I have ad¬ 
vised that the “come” lessons should be 
given in a small room ; the freedom from 
distracting influences may seem an insuf¬ 
ficient reason. There is another and very 
good reason—the pup can’t get away 
from you. In the room you are always in 
a position to enforce commands without 
delay ; outdoors you may not be. Remem¬ 
ber this principle throughout the training 
work : Never give a command when you 
cannot enforce it. After implicit obedi¬ 
ence is once thoroughly instilled the case 
is different.

Here are some of the features of the October issue of Travel, “the magazine that 
takes you there:” 
BABYLON AND BEYOND, by fred simpich, is 
an absorbingly interesting interpretation of present- 
day life in Mesopotamia, that sandy waste to the east¬ 
ward of the Holy Land, where buried Babylon is be¬ 
ing disinterred. The story of the excavations is al¬ 
most told by the photographs alone. 
PICTURE TOWNS OF EUROPE, by albert b. 
osborne, the series of delightfully written articles on 
European towns that are remarkable for beauty, or 
atmosphere, or romantic history, takes up this month 
RONDA, a garden spot of southern Spain. It’s one 
of the best things Mr. Osborne has ever done for us. 
In NAPLES OF THE NEAPOLITANS, Mr. rus- 
sel w. LEARY shows with the aid of remarkable photo¬ 
graphs just how the real people of Naples live. Their 
amusements, their business, their home life—well, just 
read it and see if you don’t agree with Mr. Leary that 
Naples is “the noisiest city in Europe.” 
AUTOMOBILING IN EUROPE is a practical and 
yet anything but a dry-as-dust account of how to con¬ 
duct yourself and your car when touring on the Con¬ 
tinent. GUILD FALKNER writes it, and he knows 
whereof he speaks. 
Then Arthur Stanley riggs takes us to TAORMINA 
THE GOLDEN; and London, California, India and 
France have their share of attention.
