A very young person is not, as a rule, a good one to have charge of a dog; that is, for the dog's sake, but I know of no company that will have a better influence on a boy; on this account I place a well- _ â bred dog at the head of the list of desira- ])le pets. To keep a dog healthy and happy it should have plenty of outdoor exercise, and this the average boy is ready and willing to give him. 1 always pity a big dog confined in some little backyard or perhaps chained with a four-foot chain and with no chance for running or recreation. No wonder such a dog is always cross. A puppy intended for a house dog should early be trained to attend to his wants out of doors. The way to do it is to give him frequent opportunities and then to chide him and make him ashamed every time he forgets himself in the house, and immediately put him out of doors. Do not yell at him or chase him, as this is apt to make him nervous and lose control of him- self, but scold him quietly, and then when he has gone out and done as you wish, praise him. A dog will not knowingly soil his own bed, but will hunt around for some suitable place. If he has been in the house.
