RETRIEVING A BIRD.

When you kill game, let your dog go and retrieve the dead, while you stand still, and let him fetch it to you. When he brings in the bird always have him hold it a minute, while you raise your hand, and then take the bird from his mouth, and don't forget to pet him.

The accompanying illustration shows a two-months-old puppy, which has been broken with my training device to retrieve. He has just made a retrieve about four hundred yards away in the timber, and when about twenty-five yards away was ordered to stop by saying "Charge," and raising a hand. He does not offer to drop the bird, but waits the word of command. This is only one of the thousands of dogs I have broken with my device, and I stand ready to go to any part of the world to show how easy it is to make fine retrievers of dogs from two months old and upwards, for use on land or water.
