spoiled by going into the woods with 
a dog that will not mind. 
It is a good idea to house break a 
pup even if you have a kennel because 
in the Fall and Winter when it is cold 
and the pup’s coat gets wet, it will 
be an act of kindness as well as ward- 
ing off rheumatism if you let the pup 
into the house to dry his coat. 
I always train my pups to obey with 
a motion of the hand as well as a 
command as it comes in handy when 
dogs get old and are hard of hearing, 
or when they are some distance away, 
as it eliminates noise and confusion in| 
the woods. 
In getting a pup used to the gun, 
it is a good idea to start in with a 
.22 caliber rifle, but if you should start 
in with a shot gun, wait until the 
pup is hunting and is interested in his 
work some distance away from you 
before you shoot. Be sure to kill the 
first rabbit that he puts by you so 
as to give the pup an idea of what 
you are after; in this way you will 
seldom have a gun-shy dog. 
I never take a pup downtown on 
July 4th as some small boy would be 
apt to drop a fire-cracker under him 
to see him run. It is a good way 
of making a gun-shy pup. Many a 
good pup has been spoiled by persons 
not using good judgment in training. 
After the pup gets so he will mind 
well, it is time to get him used to the 
woods. By this I mean taking the 
pup out and letting him find the best 
way in getting around in the forests, 
like getting over stone walls, brush 
piles, under fences, etc. 
A good way to start the pup on 
game is with an old dog that is true 
and one that the pup can keep up with 
easily, the slower the old dogs runs 
the better, and after a while you can 
take the pup out with an old dog that 
runs a little faster than the first old 
dog, but don’t take the older dogs out 
with the pup all the time or the pup 
will depend too much on the older 
dog in regard to starting and trailing 
the game. 
If you start the pup hunting alone, 
it is a good idea to start a rabbit for 
him and let him chase the rabbit by 
sight. By doing this a few times, the 
pup will get it into his head that you 
wish him to run rabbits and in a short 
time he will learn to pick up the trail 
of a rabbit after he has lost sight of 
it, and in this way he will get inter- 
ested in the chase and start his own 
rabbits. Don’t get the pup tired on 
these trips into the woods. Bring him 
home fresh and full of pep. Be sure 
to start him in easy so that he will 
not get discouraged, a half-hour or 
so is long enough at first until his 
feet and muscles get hardened. Be 
careful not to get your pup over- 
heated in the summer time. Train
