Fanged took the time to examine the rest of the room. The walls were covered in a bright, pastel wallpaper. Each wall was a different colour of pink, blue, green, and yellow. The colours felt important and Fanged decided to figure them out later. Most things in this room appeared to be plastic. Vases were pushed against the yellow wall and they were filled to the brim with fake flowers. Their stems were plastic and their petals made of a fabric that was rough to the touch. Fanged plucked one free from the vase and examined it more closely. She then realized that each flower had a corresponding colour to each wall. Surely that had to mean something. Bingo trotted over and sniffed at the flowers. That was when Fanged realized that the flowers had a realistic scent to them as well. The whole thing was vaguely unnerving, but she had seen scarier things before.

Fanged picked up a fistful of blue flowers and walked over to the blue wall. Now that she was closer, she saw strange indents in the wall that the flowers looked like they would fit into. Bingo followed her, retrieving one of the flowers that she dropped. Bingo carried it cutely in her mouth. Fanged put in all the flowers into the indentations, half expecting something to happen and a little bit disappointed when nothing did. She then realized she had forgotten the one that Bingo was carrying, but she didn’t see an empty place to put it. Perhaps she could only solve this puzzle later.
“Alright Bingo, we’ll come back to this. Let’s try the other flowers first.”
She then gathered up all the pink flowers and moved over to the pink wall to place them all into the indents. Once again, she was left with one flower too many.

Fanged needed a break from the puzzle so she decided to train Bingo another trick. She had taught her to sit, so next on the list would be how to lay down. Fanged started by taking out a piece of Galabex jerky. Bingo immediately perked up at the sight of the treat, eager to discover how she could earn it. First, she had Bingo sit. It would be easier to maneuver the Vulticus from this position. She took the treat and tapped the ground in front of Bingo. The Vulticus moved forward and then lay down in an attempt to reach the treat. When Bingo was in the proper position, Fanged allowed her to grab the treat.
“Good girl!” she praised.
It didn’t take the Vulticus long to polish off the treat. Fanged grabbed another one and showed it to Bingo before motioning for her to stand back up with a quick gesture.

She decided she would repeat the trick just as she had taught it before. She had Bingo sit first and then she took the treat and placed it in her closed fist. She then tapped the ground, beaming when Bingo slid down into the lay down position as she tried to grab the treat. Fanged had her hold the position for a few moments before she gave the treat to her. Bingo wagged her tail as she lapped up the treat. When she was finished, she stood up and nudged Fanged for more. The woman laughed and took a step back. Bingo jumped to her feet and waited to see if she would be given another treat. Fanged took the time to show her a piece of jerky before having her sit once more. When Bingo was sitting, Fanged patted the ground with the hand enclosed around the treat. This time, she gave a command word.

“Bingo, lay down!” she commanded.
Bingo moved into the correct position, leaning her head forward as she tried to claim the treat for herself. Fanged kept her in the lay down pose for a few moments before allowing her to access the treat.
“Good job, Bingo!” she praised the Vulticus.
She decided to let Bingo take a breather for a few minutes. She moved away and sniffed at the plastic flowers that Fanged had abandoned when they’d started training. When she grew bored of them, she returned back over to the woman and tried to steal another treat from her. Fanged made it clear that Bingo would need to do some work first before she got one.
“Sit girl!” She had Bingo sit first. While she didn’t pull out a treat this time. She took the palm of her hand and patted the ground in front of Bingo. “Lay down!”

With the extra encouragement of patting the ground, Fanged managed to coax Bingo into the lay down position without issue. She kept Bingo in the lay down position for longer this time and then released her. Instead of treats, she showered the Vulticus with praise.
“Good girl, Bingo!” she exclaimed as she rubbed the Vulticus behind her ears.
Bingo lolled her tongue out of her mouth happily. When she was ready to repeat the command, Fanged had her try without any additional help.
“Bingo, lay down!” She tested to see if the Vulticus would be able to perform the trick with just the command word given.
Luckily, Bingo still followed the command without additional incentive. She flopped down into the lay down position and held still until Fanged released her.
“Perfect job, girl!” Fanged praised her. She leaned down and gave Bingo a quick tummy rub. The Vulticus sprawled out as she soaked in the attention.

She allowed Bingo to have another break. She wanted the Vulticus to take some time and really let the trick sink in. When the Vulticus was adequately distracted, Fanged called out the command to her.
“Lay down!”
Bingo responded faster this time. She lay down without pause and chose the proper pose. She watched Fanged with rapt attention, eager to please her owner. This time Fanged rewarded the behavior with another treat. Bingo eagerly accepted the treat and continued laying down for a few moments longer. Fanged felt pretty confident that she knew the trick, but she wanted to test the Vulticus another time just to make sure.
“Bingo, lay down!” she called out the final command.
Bingo responded promptly, immediately dropping down into the lay down position. She lay with perfect posture and she held the position without trouble until Fanged patted her on the top of her head. The woman beamed down at her.

Now that Bingo had learned how to sit and lay down, roll over seemed like the natural trick to progress with. She had the Vulticus first lay down so that it would be easier to get her to perform the trick. Fanged grabbed another piece of jerky from her backpack and made sure that Bingo switched her attention onto it. From there, she maneuvered the treat so that Bingo was forced to roll onto her back in order to keep it in view. She then moved the treat again in order to get Bingo to complete a full loop. When she was back onto her stomach, Fanged immediately rewarded her with the treat.
“Good start girl!” she praised.
Bingo ate the treat up quickly and swiped her tongue over her lips to savor the treat in her own way. When she looked at Fanged for more, the woman pulled out another for her.

Fanged commanded Bingo to lay down again. It was a lot easier to get her to roll over from this position, but she knew that she couldn’t rely on that crutch for too long. She made sure that Bingo could see the treat clearly before she began to move it away from her. This time, Fanged moved the treat a little faster. She got Bingo to roll over onto her back and then back onto her belly in a more fluid motion this time.
“Roll over,” she introduced the new command word while Bingo was moving. The second that Bingo had finished the trick, Fanged allowed her to access the treat in her hand.
“Good girl, Bingo!” she said happily as additional praise.
Bingo wagged her tail happily as she ate the treat. When she was finished, she pushed herself into a standing position and moved closer to Fanged in order to check for more.

Fanged showed her more Galabex jerky in order to keep Bingo interested in performing the trick. Bingo immediately snapped to attention, ready to earn the reward. This time, she didn’t command Bingo to lay down first. Instead, she moved the treat in such a way that the Vulticus automatically assumed the lay down position. She continued to move the treat so that Bingo completed a full roll over loop in a single, fluid motion. She made sure to give the command word as she did so.
“Roll over!” she said. When Bingo came to a complete stop. She was rewarded with the treat and a brief scratch behind the ears.
It would be difficult to get Bingo to perform the trick without her assistance. But Fanged would need to test to see how much she had picked it up already. She tapped the treat bag and pulled out another piece for Bingo to see.

This time she moved quicker, giving the command word first before she went through the motions with the treat.
“Bingo, roll over!” she told her Vulticus.
Fanged’s usage of the treat was minimal this time. She used it to guide Bingo into a few key positions, but the Vulticus did most of the work on her own. When she had successfully rolled over, Fanged leaned down and gave her the jerky. When she had finished eating, the woman tested Bingo to see if she could perform the trick without her guidance.
“Bingo, roll over!” she commanded.
She waited to see if the Vulticus would respond. It took her a moment, but the repetition appeared to have worked. Bingo dropped down into the lay down position and then moved her body into a bit of a clumsy roll. It might not have been perfect, but Fanged was satisfied with the results.
“Good girl!” she praised as she tossed Bingo another treat.

With a bit more practice, Fanged was certain that Bingo would gain the proper confidence she needed to perform the trick smoothly.
“Roll over!” she gave the command quickly.
Bingo reacted faster this time. She dropped down into the lay down position for a brief moment before transitioning immediately into a roll. This time, Bingo had better form as she performed the trick. When she was done, Fanged rewarded her with a good belly rub. The Vulticus took a quick breather while Fanged allowed her some time for the trick to really sink in. When she had settled in to do her own thing, the woman jumped right back into their training in attempt to catch her off guard.
“Bingo, roll over!” she commanded.
The Vulticus responded with impressive speed. She dropped down and rolled over with excellent form and fluid motion. When she popped back up into the starting position, Fanged beamed and gave her another treat.

With another trick trained, Fanged was ready to solve the puzzle of the room. She’d need to figure out what to do with the extra plastic flowers that she still possessed. Bingo followed her as she did another lap of the room. One closer inspection, she could see additional indentations in the wall that were much higher up. She’d need a way to get there first. She glanced around the room, looking for something she could use to stand on. There were a few chairs placed against the tables, but when Fanged tried to move them, she realized they were stuck fixtures. She couldn’t even move the tables if she wanted to.
“Maybe I can jump that high,” she stated a little skeptically.
She moved herself under the indentation on the pink wall. She held the pink flower in her left hand and judged the distance she needed to jump.
