[Kiss – 5]
There wasn’t much left to do except to make sure she had it down now, right? The woman grinned and caught Moonbeam’s attention again and tapped on her own cheek. The pup ran over and licked the cheek she had tapped, getting a hug in return. Maybe that was something she should teach her, how to hug… No, she liked the list she had right now, no sense in making it smaller, she knew. Praising the pup, she went over the list in her mind, they only had shake and bow left, which was fine by her, they should be pretty easy with the smart pup. Grinning a little, the woman stretched herself out and shook her head, hoping she was doing the right thing. After Moonbeam grew she needed to let Arvest grow, which was going to be tricky finding a list again. She didn’t want to teach all of her Houluh the same things, after all, right?

[Shake – 1]
”Shake,” Jack said finally, taking one of Moonbeam’s forepaws and bobbing it up and down once or twice before letting go and giving her a treat. This was the easiest way she could think to do it, though she might be wrong in that regard. Sighing a little, she glanced at the sky and saw the sun going down. Just two more tricks and everything would work out, and that was the best she could do right now. Giving a little nod as Moonbeam munched on the treat, she was reinforced to get this done before nightfall. Hopefully they would be able to do that, she thought with a little smile, and so the woman doubled down on her actions, ready to get this done no matter what. All she had to do were two more tricks, that wasn’t hard at all, right? She had done a lot more in a lot less time, she could do this.

[Shake – 2]
Moonbeam seemed to understand it a little, but wasn’t sure what to expect from the woman right now. Tilting her head at Jack, she wondered what was going on right now anyway. The woman reached out her hand and took the pup’s forepaw again, ”Shake!” Moonbeam barked as her paw was moved up and down a couple of times and then Jack smiled and gave her a treat. This was crucial to training, she had found, and she wondered what she was going to do with things at the moment. At least she had a few ideas for what to train her, though this was almost over for the pup. What if she was going to run out of things right now? Tilting her head at the pup, she wondered what was going to happen right now, at least she had a couple more things to do before the show, but that was fine at the same time.

[Shake – 3]
Everything would be fine, she knew that for a fact, and then she said it again, looking at the pup, ”Shake!” Moonbeam lifted her paw but didn’t put it in the woman’s hand, she had to grab it and shake it a few times before letting go and giving her a treat. Hey, this was progress and that deserved a reward, right? Jack chuckled a little and then sighed, looking at the sky again. She wished she knew how long this would take to get done, but until then, what was she supposed to do? Jack smiled a little and shook her head, wondering how and why she was thinking of this. What was she forgetting anyway? It didn’t matter, obviously, and that was fine by her. Looking over at the Houluh, she hoped that things would work out for them in the long run, but she wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t for whatever reason.

[Shake - 4]
Jack stretched out her back and shoulders and rolled her neck from side to side. This had been a long day, she couldn't wait to get home and relax, but there was still more to do, she had to remember that much. Sighing, she looked at the Houluh again and held out her hand, "Shake, Moonbeam." The pup looked at her and her hand for a moment before slowly reaching out and giving her a paw. Jack beamed and gave her a treat, "Good shake, Moonbeam!" She reached out and hugged her as well, she was doing really well and the woman was pleased with her no matter what. She had been making great progress, and she knew it was only a matter of time before they were all finished. Jack popped her neck again with a sigh, it did that a lot after getting hit by that tree. Oh well, it happened.

[Shake - 5]
It was all okay, she knew with a smile, Moonbeam would be trained up by the end of the night and then her show would go through, she would be grown, and, hopefully, bred soon. Jack smiled a little as she thought about it, she didn't know what to expect from the pup when it came to puppies, but that was alright, she just hoped the other person would get a pup who looked a lot like her, she knew they liked the look of Moonbeam and it would be for the best for that to happen. It was always up to chance though, so who knew. "Shake!" the woman said again, holding out her hand, and the pup put her paw in her hand and the woman shook it with a smile. Good, she had figured this one out as well! There was just one last one at the moment, and that was fine no matter what.

[Bow - 1]
Right, last one before the show, as long as the training held at least. She figured they could end with this one and then give the people something good to look at. Jack pushed her hair back and then looked at the pup, "Bow, Moonbeam." The pup stared at her for a moment until the woman had her stack and then pushed down on her shoulders a little until she was in a bowing position. "Bow!" she said again, giving her a treat. The Houluh pup looked at her as she munched on her treat, not fully understanding, but that was fine, they would do it several times and then it would all be good in the end. Jack rubbed the back of her own head and sighed a little, she wished they could be done, but in order for their shows to go through, they had to be trained a certain amount of things, which was irritating, but understandable.

[Bow - 2]
Everything would be fine, they would finish this up and be done with it all, she knew with a little smile on her face. She still felt weird doing things like this sometimes, but it had to be done eventually. "Bow, Moonbeam," she said again, and smiled when she pressed down on the pup's shoulders until she was bowing a little, front end down, back end up. She was given a treat for doing what was asked, though she helped her along and all that, and then Jack looked at the sky. They would be done before nightfall fully happened, she knew, and the woman smiled a little. Her goal was within sight, and she knew that everything would be fine after that. No matter what, the woman was sure that everything was going to go well, and she wished she had something to do with the training in the future of every Houluh, though she knew that wasn't going to happen.

[Bow - 3]
No one would probably trust her with their Houluh, but she had no real way of knowing that did she? Jack smiled a little and wished she could afford the other addition to her Preserve, the Houluh run for retired Houluh. That would be great, and she probably could afford it at this point, but there wasn't a way of knowing at that exact moment in time or anything. Smiling a little, she looked at the pup again, "Bow!" The pup stared at her, and as she moved her hand over to her, she only had to lightly tap the pup's shoulders and she went down into her bow. It was working out great, she knew, and the woman smiled a little at her as well as she fed her a treat. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled more broadly, hoping that everything was going to go well when it was all said and done.

[Bow - 4]
At least the training was going well no matter what, right? Jack knew they were mere moments away from being finished, but that wasn't enough for her. Maybe she would train Moonbeam some other stuff before she was retired, but didn't really know if that would be the case yet or not. Jack pushed her hair back and looked at her before saying it again, "Bow, Moonbeam." The Houluh hesitated for a moment and then bowed low with her front half. She had done a great job and got a smaller treat for it at the same time, and the woman hoped that everything was going to go the way they needed for it to go at the moment. Smiling, she shook her head, she should really stop worrying so much about things working out and just do it. Why was she so gun shy about things right now anyway? It didn't make sense.

[Bow - 5]
Whatever happened, she was sure she was going to be proud of how the Houluh looked when she was fully grown. Jack smiled and looked at her one last time, "Bow!" Moonbeam dropped down on her front half and wagged her tail a little, getting a pat on the head and a hug for doing a job well done. She looked around for a moment, everyone else had gone home from the Park that day, and she sighed a little. It was late and she really should have stopped for awhile, but what did she know at this point? Oh well, the training was finished and they could go do her show, it was fine no matter what, and she knew that everything would go well at the moment. Pushing her hair back, she looked at the Houluh and then called for her to follow her as she headed out of the Park finally.

[Laku: Bite - 1]
This hadn't happened in a long time, she wasn't used to training other people's animals, and especially not Houluh. Sure, she had hired Fiera to train up Red a little, something she certainly didn't regret at all, but she hadn't trained someone else's before, it was a little weird to her. A shrug followed the thought, it didn't really matter in the long run she knew, as long as more people were in the field, and she was happy with little Laku, one of Luna and Snow's pups who'd been adopted by Xentus from the HAA. At least he'd gone to a good home, she figured as she ruffled the long fur on his head. He barked happily and licked her as they reached the training area and she looked at him before setting him in front of a dummy she had set up before hand. "Bite, Laku!" she told him, nudging him toward the dummy.

[Laku: Bite - 2]
Jack chuckled as he looked at her with worry in his eyes, he vaguely seemed to remember her, but was worried that he wasn't with Xentus it would seem, and she tried to explain to him through her ring what was happening. "Come on buddy, you need to bite down on the dummy. The sooner you learn these three things, the sooner you go back to Xentus, I promise," she tried to soothe him a little. The little Houluh glanced back at the dummy for a moment and lightly nipped at it a little, not enough to even make any marks on the leather. The woman chuckled again and tossed him a treat still, however, every little step was good for him to learn, and she knew it would take him a little while. It wasn't like he trusted her or anything at this point, which would change eventually.

[Laku: Bite - 3]
Of course, training Laku for Xentus meant she wasn't training Buzz for herself, which was an issue, but one she would deal with later on. It wasn't like she had to focus solely on what she wanted from time to time, and this was partly what she wanted at least, she wanted for more people to be into Houluh and breed them. Personally she would love a pup from him, but that was something they could maybe talk about later, Luna was in a lot of breeding lines at this point, which was also an issue. Jack pointed at the dummy again, "Bite, Laku, just harder this time!" He looked at her, a little annoyed he hadn't done too well the first time, before turning back and biting down on the dummy once more, this time leaving little marks that slowly refilled themselves as time passed a bit. She tossed him another treat.

[Laku: Bite - 4]
At least he'd managed to make some marks this time, she figured with a little chuckle. The woman didn't think he would pick up on things too terribly quickly, considering he didn't trust her yet, but she knew that would change as time went on. Jack pushed her hair back with a little smile as he ate his treat and then pointed at the dummy again, "Bite, Laku!" He snarled a little, getting impatient, not understanding what he was doing wrong, and bit down on it again after a moment or two, about the same strength as the time before. Jack frowned a bit but still tossed him a treat, a little smaller than last time at least, because of the effort he had put forth, and she knew that she was going to have to convince him to do things a little better for her, or else this was all for naught.
