[Holmes: Jump - 4]
Jack knew there wasn't much left to go, though she wanted to check on the other two for the moment before getting Holmes to jump again. Giving a small sigh, the woman shook her head and looked at them, they were curled up together, and Eclipse was looking a little bigger than he had for awhile since they had been out here, which was definitely a good thing from what she knew at this point. Chewing on her lip, she knew that she needed to get this done if she was going to do anything else right now, and she glanced back over at Holmes and nodded a little. Time to focus again, but she didn't know what else to do at the moment of course. "Holmes, jump!" she told her, pointing at the wood again, and the Houluh pup jumped up high and came down on it, splitting it in two when she landed on it, and that was certainly a good thing! Jack rubbed the pup's ears and tossed her a treat, ready to see what needed to be done other than this. Just once more she figured, and then they could be finished and she could go do her show, but until then, she wondered what else to do, what was she going to get done other than this today anyway? Giving a small sigh, the woman shook her head and she decided it didn't really matter in the long run, as long as she got a few things done.

[Holmes: Jump - 5]
Cracking her neck a bit, the woman sighed and focused on what she was supposed to be doing. She checked her line a few times during the training, of course, even though she didn't focus on it too much, and she had caught a few things she knew with a chuckle. However, she wished she was mining, honestly, but there wasn't much else she could do about it right now. Jack frowned a little and then pointed at a new piece of wood, "Jump!" The Houluh pup she was training nodded her head and then leapt into the air, coming down on the wood and cracking it as she landed. The woman chuckled and tossed a treat at her before checking on the other two Houluh again to make sure they were doing fine. Of course they had both grown a little, and she knew this was going to be fine, but she just wished she had a little more to do with them for now than before. Well, Holmes' training was finished and she knew it was time to get going so they could do her show and get her grown. That was the fun part she knew with a small chuckle, and the woman patted them all on their heads before leading them off with her items in tow. At least she had a good session, even though it felt like it too forever at this point, didn't it? Jack sighed, she really needed a new idea on how to do this.

[Magpie: Fishing - 1]
Jack was back with a couple of Houluh, not three this time, she was going down in number for what she wanted to deal with she supposed with a small chuckle as she walked along the river, both Magpie and Eclipse at her heels. Eclipse plopped down next to the boulder with a yawn when they reached it and she ruffled his fur a little before focusing on Magpie. She knew that Holmes would get grown soon, but she had to wait a little while before things were finished, which was definitely fine. "Go fishing, Magpie," she told the pup she was training this time and led her down to the water, splashing a little onto her to get her used to it. The pup danced around and little before flopping into the water and making sure she could reach the bottom before she calmed down a little bit. Jack chuckled and pointed out some fish, explaining to her through the ring they shared what she was supposed to do. Magpie tilted her head, long ears flopping to one side as she nodded a little and then chased after one of the fish, not getting it, but at least it was a start, she figured.

[Magpie: Fishing - 2]
She had actually never trained this before, so she wasn't exactly sure of what she should do today to do this, but that was fine, they would muddle through it together she supposed with a low laugh. Magpie glanced over at her and she patted her on the head as they were in the water. "Go fish, Magpie!" she told her again, pointing at the water toward where there were a few fish she could see now. Magpie wagged her tail from side to side and then pounced at one of the fish, though it got away from her pretty easily. It was going to take a little finesse to get this done, and the woman wasn't sure if this was the best thing to teach her at this point, but... that was going to be fine, they could get through this she knew. Tossing the pup a treat, she glanced back at Eclipse who was watching them in the water warily, knowing that he couldn't get too close at this point or else he could drown, pulled down by his fur. Maybe this wasn't the best place to bring a Silky pup, but she was managing just fine she knew.

[Magpie: Fishing - 3]
As Magpie stretched out, sniffing around for fish, she tossed a treat to Eclipse as well, knowing she needed to get a good rapport going with him before they began to train together as well. Usually she managed quite easily, but she wasn't sure what all to do with him this time. Maybe they could get the training done today, but she doubted it as time went on, she had to finish with Magpie after all, and that wasn't something that was going to go quickly she knew. "Alright Magpie, go fish!" she told her again, pointing at the water, and the Houluh pup sniffed around, eyes open and searching as she looked for some fish to pounce on this time. She zeroed in on a group of fish and pounced as best as she could, swiping one of the fish out of the water, but she only managed to get it up into the air before it fell down. Jack cheered and tossed her a treat though, knowing this was the first step to something even better, and explained she needed to aim the fish at the shore of the river so they could get it if they needed to.

[Magpie: Fishing - 4]
All she needed to do was to get a fish onto the shore and then Jack would figure her training was finished. That was part of this whole thing, and she checked on Eclipse again for a moment before refocusing on the pup she was training for now. "Magpie, go fish!" she told her with a smile, pointing at the water as she waded out of it, leaving the pup on her own for now. She could follow if she got further into the water than she was comfortable with as she sat on the shore, and then she decided this was for the best no matter what. Magpie sniffed around and then pounced again, swiping a fish onto the shore as best as she could with what she was doing. The woman laughed a little and tossed her a treat as the fish flopped back into the water. "A little stronger of a swipe this time, try to get it as far onto the shore as you can okay?" Jack told her with an encouraging smile. Magpie barked and splashed around in the water a little, pleased she was getting treats this time, and she knew it was going to be alright.

[Magpie: Fishing - 5]
Leaning back a little, linking her fingers through each other as she wrapped them around one of her knees, she watched Magpie attempt to get some more fish and then finally called out to her, "Go fish, Magpie!" The pup bobbed her head and then swiped at a fish a moment later as hard as she could, getting it up onto the shore near where Jack was. She chuckled a little and tossed her a treat for a job well done, calling her out of the water and ruffling the fur on her head a little. She was pleased with the pup so far, she was eager to learn and wanted to please the woman it would seem, which was certainly something she wasn't going to look too hard into at this point. They all seemed to be pretty eager to please, which was a good thing she figured as she reached out to ruffle Eclipse's fur as well on his head. He woofed angrily and licked her hand before pawing it away and rolling over so he didn't have to look at her this time. Jack laughed, well maybe they weren't all eager to please, she thought, amused.

Something's on the line! It tugs and tugs and tugs. It feels like it's going to pull the pole right into the water with it. The water ripples ferociously with movement, stirring up mud and making it impossible to see the catch.
That is, until there was a sudden snap. One end of the line swims away and the other dangles miserably from the end of the pole. Well, that was unfortunate. Now the pole has to be restrung, ugh.

[Magpie: Forage - 1]
Eclipse was asleep by the boulder where the sun couldn't get to him, which was perfectly fine, as she and Magpie needed to go up top for a little bit for this next trick. She wanted to teach her how to forage for things on command, which meant things needed to be done in a certain order of course. Jack chuckled and lured her up top and then patted her on her head before pointing to the trees, "Find food!" She picked up a berry, it didn't matter if it was edible for them or not really, and showed it to the pup, letting her sniff it a little before sending her off into the woods. Jack put her hands on her hips as she watched her trot off and sniff around, seeing what she could find. She gave her some pointers as she hunted as well, "Try to find something that smells like a plant or berry and bring it back okay? I'll do the harder work on whether or not I can eat it, sounds good right?" A chuckle escaped her and Magpie trotted back to her with a small mushroom in her teeth, dropping it at the woman's feet so she could take a look at it.

[Magpie: Forage - 2]
While she wasn't sure what to do with things right now, Jack patted Magpie on the head when she looked over the mushroom. It wasn't... quite edible for her, but that was alright she figured with a low chuckle, at least she had found something that the woman might not have noticed when foraging. "Go find food!" Jack said again with a smile, pointing toward the woods near the river. Magpie rushed off again, remembering what the woman had explained to her a little the last time. She wanted something she could potentially eat, and while she wasn't all that sure what she could eat, she knew a little about what she did eat, which was good enough she thought as she trotted back with a twig of berries in her mouth. The woman was looking down at Eclipse with a smile, wondering what to do about him next when she would be training him, not like it mattered, they would get this done eventually she knew. Still though, it was a little overwhelming to have so many pups all at once, wasn't it? There was a good one she had just gotten back at the Kennel as well, from a token she had gotten, and she couldn't wait to train him.

[Magpie: Forage - 3]
Jack slipped Magpie a treat as she ruffled her fur and looked over the berries, before giving her another one because what she had brought back was edible for the woman this time, unlike the mushroom. This training was going well, but was it too easy with this ring? That was something she didn't want to think about right now though, and Jack sighed a little as she thought about it for the moment. Well... she would have to deal with that later, she knew, and sent the Houluh pup out again, "Go find food!" Magpie took off toward the woods again and the woman checked on the sleeping pup down by the river again, hoping he wouldn't wake up and worry about where they were. That would be about her luck, she knew with a sigh, and she spied Magpie trotting toward her with her tail held high out of the corner of her eye. Jack chuckled and turned to face her, she had another mushroom which was good enough for her, though she would have to see if it would poison her or not. Scratching her head a little, the woman shrugged and took it, giving her a treat for doing a job well done either way.

[Magpie: Forage - 4]
Giving a small yawn, she sent her out again with a quick, "Go find food, Magpie!" The tannish pup took off again as the woman looked over the new mushroom. Now this one she could actually eat, and she tucked it away with the berries that had been brought back by the pup as well. At least it was something she could work with, which was a good thing no matter what happened. Jack glanced over for Eclipse again, seeing him stir, which worried her a little, but then he settled down and she wasn't going to have to worry too much about it. Magpie came out of the woods at that point, and the woman made a mental note to check her for ticks and things like that when they got home for her bath before her show. She trotted over with a few leaves on a branch, not necessarily something she could eat, but at least she had brought something back, and the woman gave her another treat with a smile and a rub of her head. Jack stretched her arms up above her as Magpie stretched her front legs out in front of her. This was going to be a long session wasn't it?

[Magpie: Forage - 5]
Eclipse whimpered a little down by the river and the woman chewed on her lip before sending Magpie into the woods one final time, just in case. It seemed like she understood what was going on, but there wasn't a way to be entirely sure at this point yet was there? "Go find food!" she had told her again, and then Magpie had rushed into the trees again, coming back a little while later with a large nut in her mouth. She dropped it at the woman's feet and wagged her tail as Jack told her what a good girl she was, and she wondered what was going to happen right now in the long run and all that. There was more training to be done after all, but she didn't know what else she was supposed to learn before she could go do her show like the others did. Whining, she licked Jack's hand, who rubbed her head with a smile and then brought her back down by the river. She supposed this was good for now, and she had tucked away the nut into her bag as well because it too had been edible for her at this point.

Maybe they should take a little break. Eclipse was stirring a bit but not doing too much as of yet. At least it was still early enough that it was nice and cool by the river, especially with the air coming off of it at the moment. Magpie didn't seem to mind either way, but that was fine as well, and she chuckled a little as she thought about things for the moment. At least she had something to do right now, she really needed to focus on fishing, and then she might actually find some fish eventually if she focused on that instead of her pups. Sighing a little, she patted Magpie's head and looked at her lines for a bit, hoping that things would work out in the long run when she thought about it for a little while. Scowling a bit, she just hoped that everything would go well if she tried to train again, but that probably wouldn't happen either at the moment. A shrug escaped her and she sighed a bit, hoping that everything would work out for her if she just attempted to do what she needed to do, though who knew if that was actually going to happen.
