[Stay - 5]
This was great, by the end of the day hopefully he would have her first bit of training done and then he could hand her over to Nadia to train the rest of the way. All he knew though, was that she probably wouldn't know what to say, and he was pleased with that thought. Rubbing his short hair, he looked at Mabel and told her again, "Stay, Mabel." She stood there on shaky paws, trying to go after him but telling herself no. It wouldn't do to do this wrong, besides, she got fed if she did it right! Mabel barked at him, more like a yip the way things were going, and Obsidion finally stopped walking around her and laughed, "Alright, good job Mabel, good stay!" He tossed her a treat and she snapped it up again, making him chuckle. He reached down and rubbed her head in between her ears and hoped that this would be alright.

[No – 1]
They were doing well so far, but they weren’t even halfway finished with the training they needed to do before he could give Mabel to Nadia. Frowning a little, he wasn’t looking forward to this training, but it needed to be done so they could get things figure out a little better, she needed to listen when someone said no, after all. Obsidion sighed a little and sat down next to the puppy and opened up the bag of treats before setting it on the ground in front of her. She dove at them but he caught her quickly, ”No, Mabel!” The man swatted at her nose lightly at the same time, and she yipped and glared at him. Smiling a little, he set her down again and wondered if this was the right way to do things. While he wasn’t sure, it didn’t mean that he was going to stop it, eventually she would learn and that was the whole point of the exercise, wasn’t it? [Obsidion: 6/10] [Mabel: 3 1/5; 6 1/5]

At least the training was going somewhat well, he thought as he looked at the little Houluh puppy. Giving a sigh, he watched as she went forward toward the treats again, glancing at him in a sneaky way to see if he was watching. Hmm, she was trying to be sneaky at least, there was a weird streak in her, it seemed. ”No, Mabel!” he told her again, gently tapping her nose. She jumped back and looked at him with wide eyes, as though she couldn’t believe he had seen her. ”You’re easier to see than you think, little one,” Obsidion said dryly, patting her head as he fed her a little treat. It was good to reward her every now and then as time went on, and she munched on it thoughtfully as she looked at him. It was going to be fine, he knew, but sometimes this was going to be hard, and this was harder for a basic thing to teach for whatever reason.

Honestly, Obsidion was having fun training this little one. He didn’t think he would, but he really was at this point, and it made him smile. ”Mabel, no!” the man told her again, popping her lightly on the nose whenever she went toward the treats once more. She whined and sulked for a bit, even though she was getting a little bigger again. Giving a chuckle, he handed her a treat, which she chomped on as fast as her little baby teeth would let her. At least she was enthusiastic, he supposed, which was better than nothing at this point. Rubbing the short hair on his head, he looked down at her, she was half white and half brown, which was pretty cute, and he could tell the line between the two would be pretty distinct it seemed. Hopefully Nadia would be pleased with what he was doing for her, but he knew she was pretty different when it came to things.

Without thinking, he swatted lightly at her, ”No!” She had crept forward again and was pouting now that he had caught her. Sighing, he wondered if this was actually getting through to her or if he needed to change his way of thinking. That couldn’t be it though, and she was actually responding with the words, he had just done it without thinking too well in the first place. Obsidion eyed her and shook his head when she crept forward again, ”No, Mabel!” Backing up, the pup whined at him and then wagged her tail furiously whenever he gave her a smaller sized treat. That was his plan at least, start her off on big ones and then smaller and smaller until there were none to be given. Sure she might figure out that there were more, but… he would cross that bridge when it came to it, he figured. Patting her on the head, Obsidion hoped that this was going to work out.

It would work out well for the moment and he smiled a little as he thought about it. Shaking his head, he looked at her sternly whenever she started to edge toward the treats again. ”No, Mabel,” he told her sternly, and she stopped and backed up again with a bit of a whine. It was going to be fine at the same time, he knew she had it down, she was backing down and all that, which was fine and good for him at the moment. Obsidion rubbed her back, smoothing down her fur, and hoped that everything would be alright. It was fine, they had more training to do after all, and the man smiled at her as she wriggled a little, trying to get him to scratch an itch the growing puppy had on her side. At least she knew what she was doing a little bit, and the man was happy to see her growing in intelligence and ability at this point.

Okay, something new... Obsidion frowned a little and stood up, pocketing the treats once again. He smiled down at the puppy though and held out a treat behind him, "Follow me, Mabel!" Starting to walk, he glanced behind him and watched as Mabel perked up and starting to charge behind him, and he slipped her a treat as they walked. This wasn't a heel, she wasn't walking beside him, but behind him, and that was fine for him. This was good enough for now, they could maybe work on a heel sometime later. For now they needed to focus on what he wanted to train her, to follow Nadia wherever she went. It would be alright, Obsidion knew he could train pretty well so far, it seemed, and he grinned a bit no matter what. At least he knew he was doing alright, Mabel was a quick learner, which was good as well.

Whatever happened, all would be alright in the end of it all, he knew, and he palmed another treat and motioned to the Houluh, "Follow me, Mabel!" The little puppy followed at his heels, sniffing and nipping at his fingers as he held them down so she could see and smell it easily. Things were going well, and he was pleased as he fed her the new treat, a little bigger than the others had been. Obsidion was just happy that he was doing alright with this training, and he kept walking while feeding her a treat every now and then, along with the command. Without a doubt she was a quick learner, he just hoped he wasn't overstepping his boundaries with this whole plan of his. What would he do if Nadia didn't want her after all? Maybe she sent her back on purpose, and his eyes turned down a little at the thought.

"Follow me, Mabel!" Obsidion said again, showing some treats to the little puppy. She reached up and pawed at his hand, jumping a little as she followed him happily, tail wagging furiously at this point. This was lots of fun, she knew, and she didn't realize she was learning what he was wanting to teach her in the first place. All of this was just weird, but at least she got treats for this, she knew. Barking a little, she trotted after him and ate a treat or two as she went, happily working on getting things done alright. Obsidion chuckled a bit and patted her on the head, taking a rest for a little while. Soon they would be done with this and move on to something else, he knew, but for now they really needed to keep going, he knew. Repetition made for perfection, and he was going to work this out no matter what.

Mabel was pretty cute though, and he was sure Nadia hadn't given her back on purpose, going back to his previous train of thought. Giving a smile, he patted her on the head again and then motioned to her again, "Follow me, Mabel!" She trotted after him, sniffing at his hand, but she realized he didn't have a treat in his hand this time. While she did slow down, she picked up the pace again whenever he said it once more. She learned quickly at this point, and she was sure she knew what the point of this was, but... what were they going to do now? All she really wanted was the treats, and, smiling a puppy smile, she kept on after him and it would be great! Little did she know she was going back to the woman who had adopted her before, but she didn't need to know right now did she?

Well then, he needed to make sure she had it down, and the man motioned to her before walking off again, "Follow me, Mabel!" The puppy barked happily and then raced after him as soon as she could, making sure that things would be alright in the end of it all. She was happy to be with him of course, she was becoming a little too loyal to him for his liking, but maybe that would make things a little easier if they lived together for awhile, at least she might listen to him for a bit. Rubbing the back of his head, he patted her on her own head with his other hand and smiled at her, "Very good, pup!" She barked again at him and beamed, wagging her tail. Things were going well for her so far, and she was getting nice and plump with the treats. Probably needed to rest for a bit, he figured.

Move - 1
Obsidion stretched out a little and yawned. He wasn't sure taking a break was a great idea right now, even though the little pup looked a bit tired. She was growing though, which was really good for him at the same time, almost big enough to be a juvenile at that! Everything would be alright, she was getting a bit more energy at that. He patted her on the head and then gently nudged her to the side, "Move." She yipped and danced out of the way with a frown, unsure of what was going on at the moment. It would be alright, she knew, but still that wasn't very nice of him! However, Obsidion gave her a treat, "Good move, Mabel!" Patting her on the head, he smiled at her and watched as she munched on the treat a little bit, wondering what she had done right at this point, hmm, what would be the point of this?

Move - 2
It would be alright, he wasn't hurting her or anything, just nudging her out of the way. She needed to learn to not be in the way whenever Nadia was walking, and he was frowning a little at the same time. This was bothersome, he didn't want to bother her too much, and that was alright at the same time, he just wanted to make sure she would move out of the way. "Move, Mabel," he said, nudging her out of the way and wincing as she barked at him for the affront. Chuckling, he gave her a little treat, "Good move, Mabel." The Houluh stared at him for a moment as she chewed thoughtfully on the treat, and he hoped that things would be alright for her. He could see the gears turning in her head, and he wondered if that was part of the training process or not. Weird either way, really.

Move - 3
Rubbing the back of his head a little, he gave the Houluh pup a crooked smile and hoped that things would be alright in the end. He patted her on the head and then nudged her lightly out of the way, "Move Mabel." She jumped out of the way a little bit and frowned at him a bit, giving a little yip. Everything would be alright, she knew, and the man had no problem figuring out that she was a pretty quick learner anyway. It would be alright, it had to be, and he smiled at her as he told her to move again, "Move it, Mabel!" She jumped out of the way as he walked toward her and he grinned at her, knowing that everything would work out in the long run. Hopefully Nadia would appreciate what he was doing for her, not only had he adopted her for the woman again, but he was training her up so she would get to keep her this time.

Move - 4
Obsidion turned and started to walk toward her again, "Move it, Mabel!" The Houluh barked and trotted out of the way as he walked toward her, and he laughed a little at that, wondering what else he could teach her while he had her for a little while. What else would be good for him to teach the little puppy? It was hard for him to think about it, but he was sure they needed to work on this a little while longer and all that before they moved on to the next little trick. They would all be pretty simple, of course, he would leave it to Nadia to train her some of the more complex things, but he hoped that things would work out and be alright for Nadia when it all came down to it. He hoped she would be a pretty decent little companion to the woman, and that was what he was aiming for.
