Was Jude going to take advantage of that. Jude could see all different sorts of butterflies, different eggs in the grass, and some other things. There’s so much to smell and discover and see and Jude was practically beside herself with all that she could play with.
Kadin decided to start off with them all outside while they were working on this. He sat down under a tree with Tex and Pepper near him. He could see brightly covered eggs in the grass not far from where they were, but he decided to put it out of his mind for now. Instead, he wanted to focus on having Pepper and Tex nice and calm and relaxed with him. So he pet them gently while they were sitting there next to them and tried to tell them to be at ease. Of course, since there is so much distraction around and so many different things to see, Pepper and Tex were all over the place. They were anything BUT at ease. They really wanted to go check out all of these different colorful eggs that they could see in the grass. Likewise, they also kept smelling sweet smells here in there and seeing different butterflies and other creatures flying by. It was all very distracting to two puppies who really wanted to do anything but stay still. This was going to take a while.
Kadin wasn’t really paying much attention, but this puppy (Jude this time, it was Jude) was about to have a really good time.

The first thing he did was start gathering up these weird eggs that she kept finding in the grass. They were all different colors and some of them even smelled funny. She had a lot of fun finding them and bringing them over to where Kadin and the other houluh were to try to see if they wanted to play with her.
But Kadin decided that he needed to be patient. Well he needed to do was wait until they were calm before they would even start listening to him at all. That would involve sitting here and, well. Waiting. Until they stopped being so excited. So he waited until they stop tugging at the leash. He waited until they stopped trying to go all over the place to smell the smells or look at the different colors. He did it by just sitting there and calmly staying under the tree, not doing anything. He wasn’t going to encourage them running around, and he also wasn’t going to discourage them from being curious. Because he didn’t want that to stay for them for later on, but he did want them to at least calm down and get used to their surroundings. So all he was doing right now was just sitting and waiting for them to calm down. After a while Tex and Pepper started to understand that they wouldn’t be able to go anywhere because Kadin wasn’t letting them go anywhere and explore. Instead they were just going to stay in one place until they calmed down.

Of course Kadin was doing training with the other houluh, so they couldn’t play with her just yet. But that didn’t stop Jude from still having a whole lot of fun. Jude started wandering around trying to see if there was anything else she could see. Of course there were a lot of butterflies all over the mansion. She spent what would have probably felt like hours or minutes or maybe even just seconds chasing the butterflies all over the place.
They whined, and they complained, and they pouted at him a little bit because they really did want to explore. But they couldn’t go anywhere because Kadin was making them stay put. So eventually they started to calm down. They came over to Kadin to start seeking out his attention instead since they couldn’t go anywhere else. After all, even if they weren’t doing anything exciting he was still the human, and they were still interested in what he was doing. Even if it was nothing, apparently. So Kadin offered them treats for coming over to him and paying attention to him even though there was all this different exciting things all over the place. “Good Pepper,” he said, “good Tex.” He then waited to see what they would do next. Since they saw that he had treats, they were very interested what he was doing WITH those treats. So they stayed near him. Kadin took advantage of that and called them over by their names again to start gently petting them.

And trying to keep them calm and relaxed while they were staying near him. Pepper and Tex both were full of energy and young puppies, but even they couldn’t keep turned on all the time when Kadin kept trying to get them to calm down.
Every now and then she could hear barks and yelps from the other houluh with Kadin who obviously wanted to come play because she was having so much fun, but then they would calm down and stop barking at her. Jude went over there sometimes to see what they were doing but still they were very very busy, so you didn’t really get to hang out with them very much. Instead, Jude went back to exploring because there is so much still left to explore.
Eventually enough is going to be enough. Pepper and Tex both lay down near Kadin, and they accepted his pets. After a while of gently petting them and telling them to be “easy easy” they started to get sleepy. Pepper put her head in Kadin‘s lap and closed her eyes. She was getting very sleepy from the warmth and the slow pets and just from all the excitement that she had just gone through. Tex took a little bit longer to calm down. She really wanted to keep exploring, she really wanted to see what was going on over there, but since Pepper was just laying there and Kadin still wasn’t letting them wander around at all even Tex eventually had to give up.

He went all around the trees and all around all the different bushes he started exploring the different gates and everything that there was to see. Keep in mind, this houluh spent most of his life in the kennels at this point, so everything was a new and exciting experience for him. He didn’t want to stop for anything. Not even treats could tempt him over! Well. Maybe treats would be able to tempt him over.
Tex lay down with Pepper and Kadin and also started to take a nap. Kadin told both puppies that they were “very very good” and gave them treats. That right there woke them up a little bit. It also got them a little bit more excited. But now that they were in a calmer state of mind it was easier for Kadin to say “easy easy” and get them to calm down again where they were. He kept this up for a while more, practicing giving them treats when they were calm and then calming them back down again afterwards in order to teach both houluh what it was like to be in a calm state of mind. He wanted them to be able to calm down from a state of excitement no matter what kind of environment they were in the future. So first he wanted to make sure that once they were calm they could easily stay in that calm state of mind, even in an environment that could be a bit exciting at times.

Even if Kadin had tried to get his attention, it was pretty likely that nobody would be able to get him to stop just wandering around being a random puppy. Unless there were a LOT of treats involved. So Jude kept exploring chasing butterflies, catching eggs, and just having a really good time while Kadin was working with the other houluh. Every now and then Jude would still go over to check in and see how everyone was doing because he was a little bit lonely just playing by himself, but for the most part he was having the time of his life just exploring the area they were in.
After practicing keeping calm for a while, Kadin decided to start walking with them a little bit. He got up and encouraged the pups up, too, which perked them up a little. Then he would walk with the pups around on a leash for a little while, trying to keep their attention on him while they were at it. When he saw that they were getting overly excited, he would sit down and tell them “easy easy”. After a little while of tugging on the leash and whining about it, Pepper and Tex would eventually calm down again. They’d sit down with him, nice and calmly, and be content to be near him once they understood that they wouldn’t be going anywhere else until they calmed down. That was when they got their praise and treats, not before when they were too excited.

Kadin continued this process for a while longer, taking them all over the mansion on the outside and seeing all these different places where he also hadn’t been before. Then he’d practice getting the houluh to calm down in those places. Each time he would tell them “easy easy” to teach them that they needed to take it easy when they were given that command, even if they were excited sometimes. After enough practice they were starting to ease down quicker and quicker each time. Eventually Kadin felt confident that they would be able to be able to go from an excited state of mind to a calm state of mind as long as he gave them command and presented a calm front. He continued on with this training, walking them around the mansion, letting them see the exciting sights, and then telling them "easy, easy" to get them to calm down again, even if they had been very excited. Even Jude couldn't distract them after a certain point, and that was certainly an accomplishment. Each time they relaxed they'd get treats, praise, and pets, which they also enjoyed very much.
Jude was still out here having the time of his little puppy life. He was doing everything his tiny puppy heart desired. Wandering around, chasing whatever he saw that looked like it deserved changing, and barking a literally anything that moved. Maybe THIS pup was the one who should really be learning how to take it easy. He was so riled up!

Pepper was having a great time with all of this recent training. Even if it wasn't that interesting and they weren't able to wander around as much as she would have liked she was still getting a lot of treats and that was pretty much all she wanted out of life. After all she was just a puppy and puppies don't really think of anything except when their stomachs were going to be full so she was happy. She even felt that they could continue this training and she would be very happy with that because she would get more treats from all of the training.
Tex on the other hand felt as if there is more that they could be doing. Tex still wanted to wander all over the place and explore even if Kadin kept trying to keep the puppies calm for now. text was really just waiting until all of this training was over and then they could move on to the next thing. Which would hopefully be exploring a little bit since they were in such an exciting place it would be a shame not to. Tex really wanted to explore and if Kadin ended up not letting him he would be pretty disappointed in probably whine and beg at him.
Jude was still having the time of his life. He was running all over the place and being absolutely insane. Kadin and the other puppies hadn't called him yet so he didn't really have any responsibilities.

While he was just wandering around his best to be an absolute chaos gremlin. At this point it was pretty unsure if you would even respond to Kadin when he decided that it was time to start working with him.
In fact pepper went over to Kadin to see if there is anything else he wanted her to do. She whined and potted his leg trying to get his attention. Kadin was trying to decide what he wanted to teach them next. They already knew a couple tricks or at least pay pepper did and it was probably time to actually teach them their names. Now that he thought about it he never really taught them how to respond to their names before. Well pepper was trying to get his attention this is what he was thinking about.
Now that Kadin was distracted by other things Tex seems to be looking to start exploring. Kadin had undone their leashes so they were free to start wandering around a little bit more. Kadin was gearing up to start teaching them the next thing but Tex took this as an opportunity to be free. He raced towards freedom away from the human and over towards where Jude was. He looks like you really wanted to play with the other Hulu and who could blame him. Jews look like he was having a great time and Tex really wanted to join him.
Jude barked with joy as Tex join them. They were going to have a great time playing together.
