[Chunk: Danger Sense – 6]
He was doing well so far, or at least as well as he could do at the moment. It was going to be rough getting all of this done, but she knew it was going to be alright in the end. Jack pushed her hair back and threw another rock at the Houluh, wondering when Chunk was going to get this down, but knew it usually took awhile no matter what happened. She smiled a little and rubbed his head a little after the rock hit him on the side and he whined a bit as he tried to figure out what he was doing wrong. He was trying, but it was hard for him to do, at least he was getting there though, she knew with a little smile. As long as he tried, that was all she could really ask for at this point. Giving a little sigh, the woman wasn’t sure what to do with things right now as Chunk licked her hand a little, and she hoped that everything would go well.

[Chunk: Danger Sense – 7]
With everything going the way it was, she was surprised that she wasn’t getting along a little faster, that he wasn’t getting it quicker and all that. Maybe he was a little depressed still, and maybe he hadn’t been eating all that well at the adoption agency, but she didn’t know. All she knew was, she felt bad for the little pup and was sure she wasn’t going to have to give him back. If they could get this done, then everything would be better for now. She could keep him forever, and then that would be it for the moment. Jack pushed her hair back and then threw another rock at him. Chunk managed to dodge out of the way, but it swept back some of his fur. Jack still cheered a little and tossed him a treat, he was doing well, he really was, but he needed to do much better before she called it for the day.

Since he was doing well, however, she figured it would be pretty soon that he would be blindfolded and she would see how he was doing altogether. That was the tricky part, she knew, and the woman sighed a little as she tried to figure out what they were going to do after his show was finished. She doubted anyone would want to breed with him, considering he didn’t show any markings, at least at the moment, but that was fine, maybe someone out there would want mostly brown Houluh in their Kennel or something. There was another doubt for that, but what could she really do. Jack threw another rock at him and he tore out of the way, the rock slipping by his fur a little as he tried to scramble. At least he was getting what he was supposed to do, but it was mainly visual. Once more like this, and then they would move on to just listening for it.

Everything was going to be alright she knew, but Chunk had to learn how to sense danger before everything was over, then he would learn a few attacks and then everything would be fine finally! Jack grinned a bit and launched another rock at him, watching as he dodged out of the way almost effortlessly. There was still a little wobble to him, but he was much better than he had been. At least everything was working out for them, but she knew it wasn’t over just yet. She had to make sure he had this down before all was said and done, and then maybe she would adopt that puppy… As she chewed on her lip, she hoped that everything would work out well in the long run, and she knew that she didn’t need more puppies, but that was the fun part of what she was doing right now. It was fascinating to see what was going at the moment.

He was as ready as he could be at the moment to be blindfolded and get this finished. Then they could move on to other things, though she wasn’t sure what she was going to do first. Jack chewed on her lip a little and then covered the Houluh pup’s head with the cloth so he couldn’t see and then nodded a little when he told her as much. She threw a rock at him and then winced a little when it smacked him on the side. So much for that, she thought with a little sigh as she patted him on the head. He whined a little and licked at her hand, and she smiled a bit as she tried to think of what to do for him. This was going to be difficult, but he was smart enough he could get it figured out, right? No sense in delaying the inevitable though, she figured with a little sigh, and she tossed another rock into the air and caught it again with a small nod.

All would be well, and she smiled a little when she shook her head a little bit. It would be fine, he would get it, she knew as she threw the rock at him again. Chunk listened carefully, perking one ear as best as he could at the moment, and attempted to scramble out of the way, but managed to run into the rock instead of away from it. He grunted a little and narrowed his eyes, even though the woman wouldn’t see it, and he made a resolution to get whatever he could with this training. He was going to stick with the woman no matter what, he wasn’t going to get back to the adoption center no matter what happened, he would do what he needed to in order to stay with her. That was the issue, he didn’t want to go back and get ignored forever. Would she be able to adopt him again if that happened?

He wouldn’t go back, he would learn as best as he could and make her proud. Part of him was wary though, she had given him up in the beginning, what made him think she would keep him now? She had come back for him though, that was definitely something, and she had told him the show name she was going to give him when he was grown up, and it sounded nice to him at least. Another rock sounded by him and he backed away a little and moved to the side, listening to the rock whistle next to him. Jack cheered for him and he seemed pleased for the moment at least, and he wondered if he had really done this well or not. He wasn’t done, it sounded like, as another rock sped past him as he moved away from where it sounded. Jack was pleased though, at least he was getting to it.

Everything was going smoothly, and the woman smiled a little as she thought about it for a little while. Tilting her head, she hoped that he was going to be alright in the end, and of course there was going to be a few bruises and such when he did his show, but that was almost expected at this point from how she trained. She didn’t abuse, but she put them through their paces, certainly. Jack pushed her hair back and then threw another rock at the Houluh, which Chunk rather non gracefully shied away from. At least it didn’t hit him, but she had to make sure things were really going well, right? Picking up a handful of rocks, she threw them and he yelped as a couple of them hit him since he wasn’t expecting that. Things like this might happen though, so he needed to get used to it.

Jack watched him as he swung his head around a few times and then stood there, a little tensely, waiting for more. At least he was willing to learn, she had to give him that much. Smiling, she threw another handful of rocks at the pup. Chunk danced out of the way, dipping his head for the last one with a bark. The woman cheered and figured they would do it at least once more before the training was over, but they would wait a little while until his guard was down again, if he lowered his guard that is. She figured the ones who could sense danger were always on guard a little no matter what, which wasn’t a bad thing when all was said and done. Jack chewed on her lip though, wondering what to do for now. Whatever happened, she was pleased with her newest pup, who was still a little older than some of the others.

It looked like he was having fun at least, if the lolling tongue and happy barking was anything to go on. Jack chuckled and threw another handful of rocks at him, watching as he charged toward the side of them, making sure he didn’t get hit by any of them, even though he couldn’t see them through the blindfold. The woman nodded happily and then pulled the hood off of him and he shook his head and ears out a little, barking happily and licking at her hand. As she stood there, ruffling his ears around a little, she looked out across the river. Nothing seemed to be biting, but for the first time in awhile, she figured that was alright at this point. She didn’t need to find anything right now, she just needed to get his training done after it was all said and done so she could keep him.

[Chunk: Bite – 1]
Might as well keep training, she figured with a little sigh as she grabbed some driftwood and hauled it over to where the Houluh stood, tail wagging. He was eager to learn at least, she knew that much was going for him, and being confirmed that he would stay with her was even better at this point. Running her fingers through her hair, she jabbed a stick at his mouth with her other hand, ”Bite!” Maybe she should give him all visual clues, but there wasn’t much she could do about that now that she had somewhat committed. Tilting her head a little, she watched as he backed away from the stick, and she jabbed it at him again until he nipped at it a little bit, ”Good bite, Chunk!” The little Houluh tilted his head as he munched on a treat she gave him, and she wondered what was going to happen if he didn’t get all of this down.

[Chunk: Bite – 2]
This would go well enough for now, she figured as she jabbed the stick at him again, ”Bite, Chunk.” He stared at it and backed away again until she did it again, ”Bite!” Chunk stared at it and then bit down lightly on the stick again, if only to get it to go away. The woman smiled and tossed him a treat for a job well done, though she wasn’t sure he was really getting it or not. That was the hard part of training, you never knew if you did well until after it was all said and done. Maybe sometime the Labs would have a Houluh tournament, even though they were mostly for show. Not a bad idea though, maybe she would run that by the Pit officials and see what they thought. Of course it wasn’t like they would listen to her, she wasn’t important in the grand scheme of things.

[Chunk: Bite – 3]
Though he wasn’t giving it much power, she knew he was getting the basic part of it down, putting the motion to the word at least. Jack chewed on her lip a little as she pushed the stick forward again, ”Bite!” Chunk nipped at the stick, tearing off a little bit of bark and spitting it out with a grossed out look when he realized it was in his mouth. The woman chuckled and tossed him a treat, he would do well so far, she knew, and she hoped that things would work out for them in the long run. What was going to happen if they didn’t get all of this done, however? It was hard for her to think of, but it was going to be fine no matter what. They would get this training done and over with and it would be fine, she knew it would be.

[Chunk: Bite – 4]
At least she had vague plans for her Houluh, which was better than some people could manage. They weren’t very well thought out, but at least they were plans. Giving a sigh, she pointed at the stick and poked it at him again, ”Bite!” The pup snarled and bit down on the stick, ready to get this thing away from him no matter what the cost. He was irritated by it, and confused when she praised him and tossed him a treat. He was being rewarded for being aggressive? It didn’t make much sense, but who was he to deal with things right now. Jack chuckled a little and ruffled his ears, sure that everything was going to go well for them from now on. As long as he attempted to learn, she knew he would do just fine, and she hoped that everything was going to go well for them no matter what happened.

[Chunk: Bite – 5]
This was going well enough, he just needed the power behind it. Jack eyed Chunk for a moment and then pointed at the stick, this time leaving it on the ground for him to bite at. ”Bite, Chunk,” she told him, still pointing at it, and he gingerly bit at the stick for a moment before backing up again, not sure he understood what was going on, but he figured this was what he had been doing, so he might as well keep doing it. She had rewarded him so far at least. Jack clapped and tossed him a treat with a smile and then tilted her head a little, thinking about things. She really didn’t want to teach him to jump, maybe there was something else they could work on for that last little bit to push him over the edge. It was iffy, but she figured she could figure something out sooner or later, right? Shaking her head, she decided it didn’t really matter, but that was going to be fine.
