[Ladybird: Come – 2]
Things were coming together for her finally, she figured with a light smile, and the woman walked away from the pup again. ”Come here, Ladybird!” Jack called to her, showing her the treat, and the pup ran over to her again, stumbling over her ears for a moment as she came over to her. The woman chuckled and gave her the treat, she loved the way the pup looked, and she was pleased with her ability to learn things as well. Soon enough she would be ready to have her show and all would be well with life, she figured with a chuckle. Of course, she would need to find her another Houluh to breed with eventually, though she wasn’t sure what she would look for in a mate with the pretty little pup. Oh well, she would know it when she saw it, hopefully one who wasn’t related to Luna or Nico.

[Ladybird: Come – 3]
She had plenty of time to work with her Houluh, she knew, so she wasn’t too worried about getting this done. She did want to get her pups grown though so she could work on her Silky pups from a few different litters (she had what, three of them now?) just to see what they would look like all grown up. A couple of Silky’s had grown and they were lovely, full of long fur and all that, and she couldn’t wait to see what hers would look like. Eclipse was the first one, but he was still a long ways off, which was fine. ”Ladybird, come here!” she called to the pup again after walking away and showing a treat to her. The pup ran over to her and pawed at her leg again, making her chuckle a little at that. ”Here you go...” Jack relented, giving her the treat before she checked on her line for a moment or two. This was going to be fine, she would get trained up and all would be well.

[Ladybird: Come – 4]
At the same time, there were several other things she could be doing at the moment, like mining, but for now she was sure that things would be alright. All she had to do was work with them a little and then get them grown by the goddess and all would be well. Jack sighed though, it was a lot of work and she didn’t want to train them all the same things, so she wasn’t sure what else to do for them. Whatever, she would get them as they came, she figured with a small smile. ”Come here, Ladybird!” she called again as she walked away, and the little pup ran over to her again, not focused on the treat this time, which was good. Jack gave it to her anyway and then checked her line again, still nothing had been caught and all was going to be alright eventually. It was fun just being here, she knew.

[Ladybird: Come – 5]
Jack had a lot of things to do with her life, but this was important to her no matter how she looked at it. Pushing her hair back, she smiled a little and wondered what was going to be the best course of action for the rest of her Houluh. Maybe she would figure it out eventually, she probably would, but that wasn’t the point. Smiling, she called to the pup after she wandered off again, ”Ladybird, come here!” The pup stopped and looked over her shoulder before running back over to the woman. Jack smiled a little and patted her on the head, pleased with what was going on at the time. Well then, moving on, she figured the basics would be good enough for her right now. She could figure out what to do other than this later on, it would be alright. Checking her line again, she hoped that everything would be fine, she should catch something soon.

[Ladybird: Stay – 1]
Though she hadn’t caught anything yet, that was perfectly fine, she was mostly here to train up Ladybird, though she was rethinking some of the things to teach her. Shrugging, she checked on her line again before holding out a treat and backing away from the pup, ”Stay, Ladybird.” The pup ran over to her and pawed at her leg, however, to which the woman frowned and said it again, ”Stay!” She looked at her sternly and backed away again, this time the pup stayed in place, surprised at the woman’s tone. She hated talking to her pups like that, but there wasn’t much else she could do. The next training was always the hardest, and she hoped Ladybird would stay the same through it all in the end. Whatever, things would be fine, she just had to believe in it, she supposed with a little smile. Everything would be perfectly fine.

[Ladybird: Stay – 2]
Well, she didn’t know what to do in the future, but that wasn’t going to change the present. She still had work to do, so she would get it done here in just a bit and that would be that. Honestly she still couldn’t wait to see how Ladybird would grow, and she smiled a little as she thought about it. Part of her wished she was a male though, she thought that would look great, but she was female and that was perfectly fine, Jack was pleased with the way she was. ”Stay, Ladybird,” the woman warned again, eyeing the pup as she backed away, a treat in her hand. Ladybird saw it and charged after her before skidding to a stop and tilting her head, her ears flopping over to one side as she tried to figure this out. Jack simply smiled a little and tossed her the treat, pleased with the realization in the pup for the moment at least. Well then, everything would be alright.

[Ladybird: Stay – 3]
Things were going well so far, but she needed to make sure Ladybird knew what she was doing. It wasn’t time to test her just yet though, so she smiled and walked away again, ”Stay, Ladybird.” Jack watched her a little as she walked away and saw her start to move before she stopped again and wagged her tail. Things were going to be great, she knew, and the woman wasn’t sure what to expect from her at the moment anyway. Tossing her the treat, she nodded a little and wondered what else they could do today. She still hadn’t caught any fish, and that was fine in the same thing. She wasn’t too worried about catching anything today, or at least right now, she might later during this trip, but wasn’t all that sure. Everything was fine, and she smiled a little at the pup as she munched on the treat.

[Ladybird: Stay – 4]
It was great out today, a little nippy, but not too bad, she figured with a smile. She still had on jeans and a t-shirt, which worked well for her whenever she was working with an animal. Really she should be working with something that could swim so she wouldn’t freeze over the winter doing that training, but whatever, she thought with a little frown. It was fine, and she looked at the pup again and started to back away, ”Stay, Ladybird!” The puppy took one step forward and then pulled back again, barking at her with frustration. Chuckling, Jack tossed her a treat and went over to ruffle the fur on top of her head. It was soft and warm, and she hugged her a little as well. Things were going well for her today it would seem, and she smiled as she thought about it at the moment. Well, she could do whatever she wanted right now, right?

[Ladybird: Stay – 5]
Though she hadn’t caught anything, the bobber was still floating in the river at the moment, which wasn’t a bad thing when all was said and done. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled, wondering what she was going to do for the moment other than train up the little puppy. Ladybird looked at her expectantly, so she nodded and backed away, saying, ”Stay, Ladybird.” The pup stayed where she was, head tilted to the side as her tail wagged slowly. Jack couldn’t help but laugh and tossed her a little treat for being so cute, she couldn’t wait to see her all grown up, it was going to be great, but she would miss the little puppy version of her as well, which was alright in the end, she knew. However, she figured she would at least keep a picture of her in the Kennel, just like she did with the others.

[Ladybird: No – 1]
Jack hated this part, it felt like she was being so mean, but it was important for her animals to know what the word ‘no’ was and meant. Of course she could probably explain it to them through the ring she had in order to talk to Houluh, but that wasn’t really the point, she knew. ”No, Ladybird!” she snapped, popping the puppy lightly on the nose when she nosed at the treat pouch as it fell to the ground. The puppy looked at her, shocked, and whimpered a little before cuddling up to her foot. The woman sighed and sat down, patting her on the head to try and prove there were no hard feelings, but she needed to learn this no matter what. Jack sighed a little, unsure of what to do when she was faced with such an adorable little puppy. It was alright, they would get through this and Ladybird would be much more obedient for it.

[Ladybird: No – 2]
The little puppy wasn’t sure what was going on, but she did know she wanted those treats, so she sneaked forward again and bit at the pouch, but was tapped lightly on the nose again, along with the words that were said, ”No Ladybird!” Ladybird pulled back again and plopped down on her backside, letting out an adorable little mournful howl. It was cute, but Jack knew it was part of the training, she had to resist it. At least she had something to go with, she knew most of their tricks already and all that, but there wasn’t much she could do about things at the moment. Jack pushed her hair back and gave her a little chunk of treat for pulling back so quickly, and it must have confused the puppy just a bit because she went for the treats again. This might not work out so well, the woman thought with a little frown.

[Ladybird: No – 3]
There was still nothing on her line, which shouldn’t surprise her but did at the moment. Jack sighed a little again and bopped Ladybird on the nose when she went for the treats, ”No Ladybird!” The puppy plopped back again and scowled at the woman, sure those treats were for her. Jack didn’t really have the heart to do this kind of training sometimes, she knew, and the woman shook her head a little, unsure of what she should be doing for everything. At least she had some idea, right? This training was crucial or else the puppies wouldn’t understand what ‘no’ meant, which wasn’t a good thing no matter how you looked at it. Giving it her best, she tried to get through this training, though she wasn’t sure she was going to be able to and be mean about it to such a cute little pup. It would be fine though, she knew, and this was going to be alright.

[Ladybird: No – 4]
Without much else to do right now aside from fishing, she wondered if she would still do what she needed to with her later on. The rest of the training would be interesting, of course, but there were other things she wanted to train the working puppy as well. This was going to be great, she knew, but at the same time she hoped she would be able to figure all of this out. ”No Ladybird!” she snapped, reaching out to bop her on the nose, but the puppy pulled back first and barked, not wanting the little tap to get to her. Jack chuckled a little and gave her a little treat, this was good progress and she knew that things would only look up from now on. She was pleased with life, of course, and the progress of the puppy, but for now she really needed to figure out what they were going to do, and what Ladybird was going to need to learn.

[Ladybird: No – 5]
Jack patted the little puppy’s back for a moment and then smiled a little, she wasn’t sure where to go from this, but she was sure she could figure it out. The woman frowned when Ladybird made one last bid to get to the treats but just said, ”No, Ladybird!” The puppy sat back and pouted but then wandered off to see what else she could get into. This was the best part, when she realized they had learned something, and she hoped it would stick with her forever and all that. Whatever happened, the woman was pleased and proud, and hoped that everything was going to go well. She knew what she was going to train next of course, but then they needed to spend a little time together before she finished up her training so she could be a herding Houluh. That was the goal at least, and she grinned as she thought about the end result.

[Ladybird: Heel – 1]
Luckily this one was easy enough as long as she had a leash for the puppy, which she did. She had made sure she had everything she needed before she had brought the puppy with her, which was saying something, usually she wasn’t so well prepared. Giving a chuckle, she hooked the leash onto her collar and then tugged lightly so she was right next to her, ”Heel!” She started walking, keeping the puppy at her side as she walked, though Ladybird was trying to tug away from time to time. She didn’t like being told where to walk, that much was clear, and the woman sighed a little, this might be a little more difficult than originally thought. Reaching down, she gave her a little treat as she walked next to her, which seemed to change her might, albeit only a small amount. The puppy was a little less anxious now that she knew it was training and she would get some treats for it.
