For this and divers other reasons, the first lesson taught to arriving wardogs was to abstain from barking. The dogs were divided, roughly, by breeds, as regarded the line of training assigned to them. The collies were taught courier-work. The Airedales, too, hideous, cruel, snake-headed, were used as couriers, as well as to bear Red Cross supplies and to hunt for the wounded.
