You can train your dog to be picked up and to expect to be picked up by using a pairing word such as ‘up’ or ‘lift’. This technique is the most comfortable way of handling a dog for the both of you.

The London Underground name first appeared in 1908. In 1900 Charles Tyson Yerkes, an American railway magnate, arrived in London, and he was subsequently responsible for the construction of more tube railways and for the electrification of the cut-and-cover lines. Operation began on this first electric underground railway in 1890 with a uniform fare of twopence for any journey on the 3-mile (5-km) line. The original plan called for cable operation, but electric traction was substituted before the line was opened. The tunnels were driven at a depth sufficient to avoid interference with building foundations or public utility works, and there was no disruption of street traffic.
