[Buzz: Name - 1]
It might not be a good idea for her to do this right now, be at the river when it was so cold out, snow falling every now and then, and with a pup at her side no less, but there wasn't much for her to do at the moment, so here she was to work with another Houluh. It was time to keep things going, she knew, and she just hoped that nothing would go wrong. Some of the river was iced over, but it was alright, most of it was going to be fine, she knew with a little smile on her face. Giving a sigh, she looked down at Buzz and held out a treat when he started to look away from her, "Buzz!" The pup smelled the treat and looked at her, getting the treat in response. Hey, start them off early and then there was no way there would be anything wrong.

[Buzz: Name - 2]
With the river slowly churning past them, visible underneath the ice in some parts, she hoped she could carve a nice little hole in the ice and get some stuff fished up. The fishing wasn't the most important part though, she knew, it was training up the puppy and she knew that she needed to get it done in order to do his show and get him all grown up. Jack chewed on her lip a little, hoping this wasn't going to be a waste of time, that she would be able to get things done. "Buzz!" Jack called to the little one and the puppy turned toward her when he smelled the treat she held in her hand. Chuckling a little, the woman gave it to him and patted him on his soft head. Usually she didn't train up her puppies when they were this small, she let them get used to her a little bit, but she felt this was best with him.

Buzz would figure out his name eventually, but she wanted it to be sooner rather than later. Sure it was starting to warm up in the year a little bit, but that didn't mean this wasn't a particularly cold day for some reason. Heaving a sigh, she set down her equipment and looked over at the puppy again before calling to him, "Buzz!" The little Houluh puppy barked for a moment at something before looking over at her, tilting his head so his ears flopped over to one side. The woman smiled a little and tossed him a treat, wondering what they were going to do for a little while as he learned a few things. He needed to be decently trained before she really got into the harder part of ice fishing at least, or that's what she was telling herself for now. As he gnawed on the treat, she ruffled the fur on his head a little with a smile.

[Buzz: Name - 4]
Well, she had to admit that ice fishing was kind of fun, she had done it time and time again when she was in the navy, and this worked out well due to her surroundings at the moment. Jack pushed her hair back and then looked back down at the puppy for a moment before calling out to him, "Buzz!" The little one looked over at her and barked before loping awkwardly over to her, and she hoped that she could keep this up for the rest of the day. If she couldn't, then this whole trip would be for naught and she didn't think she liked that thought for the moment. Jack gave him a smaller treat than usual and then started to carve a hole in the ice, keeping an eye on him the whole time. It wasn't like she didn't know what to do for the moment, but at least they were close to the Labs if anything happened.

[Buzz: Name - 5]
There was no way she was going to let anything happen, however, and she smiled a little as she thought about things. At least she had something to do now, again, considering she'd been lamenting her loneliness in her Kennel for awhile before getting back out and starting up with her Houluh again. The woman kicked through the ice finally and then looped a lure onto the hook and cast it into the hole in the ice. She set it up so she wouldn't have to hold onto it and then looked over at the little puppy again, "Buzz!" The little one looked over at her immediately and got a pat on the head for doing a good job. He barked a little and pawed at her foot, upset he didn't get a treat, but she knew he would get used to it eventually. Chuckling, she rubbed his head a little and smiled, hoping this training would go well.

[Buzz: Come - 1]
It wasn't like her not to focus on the fishing part and focus almost solely on the training she was doing, but Buzz needed a rather intensive training list to get through before his show, he wasn't one to listen and she needed him to if he was going to do well in the future. At least, she hoped that's how it was going to go. Checking on her line for a moment, she whistled at the puppy and held out a treat, "Buzz, come!" The puppy lifted his nose in the air and then loped over to her and pawed at her hand until she gave him the treat. Heaving a small sigh, she knew that wasn't exactly what she wanted from him, but hey she knew that was going to work after awhile. Patting him on the head, she moved away again and then shook her head a little with a chuckle, they would get it.

[Buzz: Come - 2]
Small steps, she needed to remember that, she thought with a little sigh. She watched as Buzz finished his treat and started to sniff around for another. At least he was pretty driven, though she needed to fix what he was driven for a little bit. Pushing her hair back, she shivered in the cold for a moment and then smiled a little bit as she called to him, "Come here, Buzz!" The little puppy looked at her when he heard his name and then barked for a moment. Once he saw the treat she pulled out of her pocket, he barked again and loped over to her as carefully as he could, stumbling a little over his big paws and ears. He was pretty cute, and the little moon on his forehead stuck out pretty well against his pale fur anyway, even though it probably shouldn't. Maybe she was just highly aware of it. Either way, she smiled, patted him on the head, and gave him the treat for doing a job well done.

[Buzz: Come - 3]
While he gnawed on this treat, Jack checked on her line again and then walked behind him with a low chuckle. Would he realize she was behind him this time? Time to find out at least, she figured with a smile as she called to him again, "Come here, Buzz!" The Houluh looked up and jumped when he realized she wasn't in front of him anymore, and he swiveled comically until he could see her and glared at her a little bit. The woman chuckled and held out a treat, to which he launched at her as fast as he could and snagged the treat when she lowered it for him. Ruffling the fur on his head, she knew she was hoping he would grow well, and wished she didn't have to train all of her Houluh so extensively. She kind of understood why it was though, she knew, but what else could she really do?

She was pleased with his progress, even though he seemed to want treats more than anything else she supposed. Smiling, she patted him once more on the head and then moved away again, "Buzz, come here!" The Houluh puppy barked and looked at her for a moment as though trying to decide something, before barking again and going over toward her. Laughing, the woman nodded happily and then broke off a little treat and fed it to Buzz for a moment before she stood back up a little and looked over at her gear again. Nothing was biting, she wasn't surprised at that though, it was so cold out. The woman could see her breath from time to time, and the puppy was encased in a little fog of his own because of his body heat, making her chuckle. This might not have been her best idea, but they would be alright in the end of the training, she knew.

[Buzz: Come - 5]
He was doing well, she knew, and the woman smiled a little for a moment as she thought about it all. Hopefully he was going to do this quickly, but she wasn't sure that would be the case. It all depended on how fast she got the treats out, she figured with a little chuckle. "Come here Buzz!" she called to him, backing away again, and the little puppy shot after her, expecting a treat but only getting a little pat on the head. Wondering what to do for the moment, she smiled a little for a little bit and rubbed his head again before looking out over the river. It was inside the Labs, where they were, not at the Canyon for the Draconics, which might be why it was so cold for them at the moment. As long as Buzz didn't get sick or anything, that was going to be fine for her, they would work as long as they could.

[Buzz: Stay - 1]
Jack stretched and went to check her lines, eyeing the puppy for a moment, "Stay here Buzz." She carried a treat in her hand to tempt him to see what he might do, and smiled a little when he trotted after her. "Buzz! Stay!" she snapped quickly, pointing to where he was at the moment. Startled, the puppy stopped walking and stared at her until she nodded and went to check on her line again. The woman glanced over at him, to where he was sulking a little at the moment, and tossed him the treat with a little smile, she didn't know what to do with things right now, but that was going to be fine, they would get through this training like the rest of it and all would be well. She wished she could catch something at the same time, but... that was alright at the same time she figured with a chuckle.

It would work out for them, she knew with a little smile, and the woman glanced at the puppy as she thought about it for a little while. Buzz needed trained, and she knew that things were going to be fine. She would get him trained up, grown up, possibly bred eventually even. "Stay, Buzz," she said, moving back again with a treat in her hand after checking on her line. Still nothing had bitten, but that was alright too, that wasn't the focus on this. The Houluh puppy charged after her until she eyed him and snapped again, "Stay, Buzz!" The little puppy skidded to a stop and then barked unhappily as he looked at her, a little whine escaping his throat as he stared at her and the treat. Still, he was staying in one spot and that was good enough for her. For now. Jack tossed him the treat and rubbed his head when she walked over to him with a little smile.

[Buzz: Stay - 3]
While it seemed he was starting to understand what was happening, at least if she snapped at him that is, she wondered when it would fully click in his mind that this was training, hopefully soon but she wouldn't hold her breath. The air was starting to get a little colder and she re-wrapped the scarf around her neck as she shivered a little. Buzz, however, didn't seem to be having any issue with the entire thing, which was fine with her. Glancing over at the line and sighing a little, she still hadn't caught anything, but that was fine, she dropped a treat into her palm and pointed to where Buzz was standing, "Stay." He looked at her and sniffed at the treat, whining a little as he took a few steps, but before she could say anything, he stopped moving and wagged his tail a little bit. That was good, and she tossed him the treat with a smile.

[Buzz: Stay - 4]
Everything was working well with the Houluh puppy, and she hoped it would continue as the training progressed. He was going to know quite a few tricks when they were done, after all. Jack smiled and backed away again, eyeing the little puppy and telling him, "Stay, Buzz." The puppy took a step forward, sniffing the air, but then stopped and tilted his head, his ears flopping to one side, making her chuckle a little. The woman tossed him a treat for doing well and then yawned a bit, shivering in the cold. She wasn't sure what to do right now, other than train, and she hoped they would come across some fish here pretty soon, that was all she needed right now to make this worth it in the end of all of this training. Chewing on the inside of her cheek for a moment, she sighed a little and hoped that everything was going to go well.
