this command whenever he attempts to 
pass you. Make him stay in his place 
till you say “Go on!” Do not allow 
him to stop on the road, or to play with 
other dogs, but teach him to follow closely 
and promptly. 
For the different lessons only verbal 
commands have been given, and in fact 
they are all that is necessary. They can if 
desired be combined with motions accom¬ 
panying each order so that the dog will 
learn them and render words unnecessary. 
For those who desire to go to this trouble, 
the following motions are used: With the 
“Come in!” beckon as if to a person; to 
go forward swing the hand forward, the 
arm hanging at full length; to heel would 
be the reverse of go on; “Drop” should be 
accompanied by a downward wave of the 
hand, and “Close” with the finger pointing 
toward the ground. When your dog does 
not quarter his ground well, or you wish 
to send him across a stream or into a 
thicket, whistle to attract his attention and 
then wave the right or left hand, accord¬ 
ing to the direction you wish him to take. 
Work him thoroughly on these orders and 
signals, and never give a command with¬ 
out its corresponding motion, and in a short 
time the dog will obey the hand as well 
as the voice. This constitutes the refine¬ 
ment of dog training, as it practically pre¬ 
cludes the necessity for verbal orders, 
avoids alarming wild game, and is a great 
improvement on calling at the top of your 
lungs to a dog on the further side of a 
field. 
Having taught these lessons until your 
dog understands them perfectly and obeys 
the various commands promptly and will¬ 
ingly, we may consider his yard breaking 
accomplished, so that at the opening of the 
season he is ready to enter upon regular 
field work with the gun. You must not 
forget that when he first goes afield all will 
be new to him, therefore do not be hasty 
or prone to consider the mistakes he will 
make deliberate wrongs deserving of pun¬ 
ishment. Remember also that while being 
yard broken he had no excitement to con¬ 
tend with, other than that common to high 
courage and youthful spirits, but now 
everything is different. If he is slow about 
learning, be patient. If he enters into 
his work with so much zest as to be un¬ 
mindful of your orders again be patient. 
Whenever you go out with a young dog 
carry your check cord, and if he is inclined 
to be wild, for the first few times take 
an iron pin about 12 inches long, the upper 
end bent into a ring to which you can 
fasten the cord. Watch your dog closely 
as you go along and if you see him about 
to commit a fault, try to anticipate it and 
check him. Be cool and quiet with him. 
Take plenty of time and go to some place 
where you are sure to find birds. As soon 
as your pupil strikes their scent, get to 
him, and in a low, soothing voice say 
“Steady!” Above all, act yourself as if 
you were cautious about advancing; this 
will impress him more than words. The 
dog is so imitative that, seeing his master 
careful, he becomes so himself. Should 
the scent excite him so that he will not 
obey you and he threatens to spring on 
the birds, fasten the cord to his collar and 
compel him to heed your voice by a few 
sharp yerks. If you can get him to stand 
his first bird a long step in the right di¬ 
rection will have been made. 
Encourage him to work out every trail no 
matter how faint, rather than leave it too 
quickly, and when at least he comes to a 
point, get to him, snap the cord to his col¬ 
lar, and now is your opportunity to make 
your dog staunch. His future will depend in 
a great measure on how you handle him 
now; stroke him gently from head to foot 
and make him stand as long as possible 
without tiring; then push your iron pin into 
the ground, or take a turn of the cord round 
a small tree to prevent the dog getting 
away from you if he breaks shot. Start 
the bird yourself, and be sure to kill it; 
better miss a dozen birds later than the 
first one your dog points. Should the ex¬ 
citement prove too much for the dog and 
he attempts to rush in upon the fallen 
bird, the cord will bring him up, and just 
at the instant it tightens on him you should 
cry “Down!” The jerk and the command 
will probably bring him to his senses and 
he will drop at once; but in either case 
promptly drag him back to the place where 
he should have stood and make him drop 
there for a few moments, whether he has 
broken shot or not, it will serve to make 
him steady under fire; then advance with 
him to the bird and make him point it. 
Pick up the first bird you kill over a 
young dog, even though he is a good re¬ 
triever ; let him smell it in your hand for 
a few seconds, patting him and showing 
him that you are pleased; then throw the 
bird a few paces and encourage the dog 
to advance and bring it at once. This is 
almost sure to make a dog eager to bring, 
but should he dislike to take the bird in 
his mouth, open his jaws, put the bird in, 
and holding his mouth shut lead him gent¬ 
ly back to where you stood, then make him 
sit up and deliver it, rewarding him with 
pleasant words and caresses. Proceed in 
this way till the dog understands this part
