[Follow – 5]
Jack had to know if she was doing this because she knew it now or what. She patted her leg again and started to walk, the Houluh bounding after her and then slowing to a walk behind her as they went around the area a little bit. The woman was smiling, at least this seemed to be working, she figured with amusement in her thoughts. All she had to do was think of what to do next and they would be done, she figured. Stopping finally, she turned and knelt down, rubbing the Houluh’s ears happily and telling her what a good girl she was. Praising was just as important as treats, she figured, and some animals responded well to both. Luna appeared to be one of those animals, for which she was grateful. Some of these animals being solely food motivated was a drain on her resources. Oh well, she knew she had a lot of animals, she knew she was being drained too.

Move – 1
There was something new to work on next, now that she had follow down. The smart thing would be to work on heeling, but she wasn’t the brightest, at least she didn’t think so. She could go back to it, right now the pup was underfoot and so she was going to need to work on that. ”Move, Luna,” Jack told her with a frown, pushing her out of the way as she tried to walk. Luna wove between her legs and barked, but stumbled a little as she was pushed. A whimper escaped her and she looked hurt, but Jack just looked at her sternly, ”Come on now, you’re completely fine. Just move out of the way!” Luna pouted but moved a little when she moved to push her away again, just like she had hoped she would. Jack nodded and gave her a piece of kibble, thoroughly confusing the little pup at this point. What was going on? She was getting treats for being pushed?

Move – 2
This was going to take some time, she knew, but that was fine. ”Oh move, Luna!” she told her with a frown, pushing her away again as she twined around her legs. Luna pouted again and glared at her, but when she was given some kibble for moving out of the way, she perked up a bit. This didn’t make much sense, but it did at the same time. She had to give her room? But she didn’t want to, that just wasn’t fair! Luna ate and stared at the woman as Jack looked around the training area with a smile, it was kept pretty neat, and she knew it was only a matter of time before she needed to trim the grass again, though the training she did tended to keep it under control rather well. Plus it was heading into winter, so she didn’t need to worry about it too much until spring. She just needed to remember the seasons.

Move – 3
While Luna turned the thoughts over in her head a bit, Jack looked at her as she wandered over to her. She pointed away with a frown, ”Move, Luna.” As she walked, the little Houluh pattered out of the way after a moment and then came back, looking up at her expectantly. Jack sighed a little and shook her head, it was close enough at the moment, but that was fine. She wasn’t sure what to do about things, but that was alright all the same. She passed her a kibble piece and then ran a hand through her own hair. Jack was a little frustrated, she really wanted to get to the fun stuff, but in order to get to the fun stuff, they had to work with the boring stuff first. It just wasn’t very amusing and it made time go so slowly it seemed. Giving a little sigh, she reached down and flopped the pup’s ears around for a moment before shaking her head a little.

Move – 4
Nothing could get in the way of her training, she figured with a little smile, and as she walked, Luna ran over to her and stood in front of her until the woman frowned a little, ”Luna, move.” Her tail lowered a bit, but she ran off out of the way and only came back when the woman showed her some kibble. At least things were going her way, and it wasn’t like she was going to have to say it all that often, she figured with a little smile on her face. Luna came over again when she called for her and the woman gave her some kibble. She didn’t know what was going to happen soon, but she hoped it would be something good. Now she just needed to figure out what all she was going to do after this training, it didn’t matter much at the moment, and that was perfectly fine.

Move – 5
No matter how hard she tried with her animals, there was always someone out there who would be better than she was. She smiled, that was the goal though, she figured, being better than the rest, but she wasn’t sure when that was going to happen. Maybe she was better than the rest, she just didn’t know at the moment, and that was fine. Jack pushed a hand through her hair and then looked at the pup at her feet, ”Move.” Luna sniffed and got up to walk away, not looking at the woman for a little bit until she was called over to get a few pats on the head, ”Good girl, Luna!” It was about time for her to get it, maybe now she wouldn’t be underfoot anymore and all. That was going to be the best part of it, though she knew they still had more training to do so far. At least things were going well though!

[Off – 1]
Well, she couldn’t walk under her, but maybe… Luna jumped up and put her paws on the woman’s legs, barking happily. Jack sighed a little and took a step back, ”Off, Luna!” The Houluh fell and caught herself on the ground with a pout, barking a little at the woman for a moment until she got a stern look for that. The woman gave her a piece of kibble and then turned around to try and figure out what to train her next. Maybe this was as good as anything, but for now she wasn’t sure how often she was going to jump up like that. Giving a frown, she realized things were too chaotic at the moment and all that, and she wondered a little about what she was going to do when things calmed down a bit. She’d never trained a Houluh before Luna after all! Things would be nice no matter what and all that, and she figured out what was going to do.

[Off – 2]
Jack turned from the pup for a moment to dig through her bag, and the next thing she knew, she was being jumped on again. ”Off, Luna!” she snarled, pushing her off of her as she stood up. Luna scowled a little and sulked, but then perked up a little when she was given a piece of kibble. At least she forgot things easily enough, but she remembered the important things. She looked up at the woman with pleading eyes, and she just shook her head. She didn’t know what she was going to do with the pup, it was annoying to thing, but what could you do? It wasn’t so bad, training a Houluh, and she had plenty of them left to train as well. Something was happening, she just wasn’t sure what it was at this point. That was fine, she liked being surprised and all, but that didn’t matter too much at the moment.

[Off – 3]
At least she learned quickly and well, and the woman was pleased with this at the same time. She stretched herself out a little and then sighed, she wasn’t sure what to do with things at the moment, but at least the training was going well. Jack pushed a hand through her hair and then yawned, it was starting to get a little late, but she could keep going for awhile still. ”Off Luna!” the woman said again, pushing her off of her bag as she crept forward and stood on it. Luna managed to dodge out of the way of her hand and stood there for a moment before barking and getting a piece of kibble. At least she was doing it on her own, though she didn’t know if it was the command or the push that she was associating with it at this point. Either way, that was fine, at least it was something.

[Off – 4]
Jack thought the training was going well at least, and she smiled at Luna and reached out to pat her on the head. Luna leaned into her hand a little bit and rumbled happily. Giving a bit of a laugh, Jack shook her head, she was easy to please, that made things a little easier it seemed. She reached out to her again, but the Houluh put her paws up on Jack’s arm, to which the woman gave her a stern look and told her, ”Off!” The pup dropped down immediately with a small whine, but at least it was something. Jack smiled and gave her a piece of kibble again. Things were going smoothly, and she couldn’t be happier at this point, she figured. All she had to do was make sure she had it down and then they could finally move on again. At least now she knew what she was doing when it came to this, that was always a plus.

[Off – 5]
Things were looking up, she figured, they would get to the fun stuff soon, although sooner than that she was going to have to get some sleep, and so was the pup, as she had started to yawn as well. Luna was a spunky little girl, she went hard at everything she did, so she was surprised she hadn’t fallen asleep yet with how hard she was working. New things took time and energy, she knew. ”Luna, off!” she told her again when she noticed a paw on her bag again. Luna yanked her paw back and glowered at the woman for a moment before she was patted on her head and she smiled, tongue lolling out of her mouth once again. It was nice to see her learning things, and without some food half the time as well it seemed. Whatever happened would happen, and Jack figured it was as good a time as any to take a bit of a break. Off they went back home, the pup at the woman’s heels.

[Heel – 1]
The next day was bright and sunny, yet still managed to be cold. Jack was worried about Luna staying warm, but she didn’t seem to have any issues with things, it seemed. She knew there was snow on the horizon, but luckily Luna was dark enough that she wouldn’t blend in if it did. It would sometime that day, she knew it, it just… felt like it, it smelled like it, but… Shaking her head, she kept the leash on the Houluh and held it tight at her side so she couldn’t stray away and snapped her fingers before she started walking, keeping her at her side. Luna fought the leash for a few moments before she realized it was easier to trot alongside the woman as she was fed treats every now and then. Jack figured she was getting it already, but there was still a lot of training to do.

[Heel – 2]
Of course she wasn’t getting it yet, they’d only just begun and all that, but for now, she was just going to be happy about things, she figured. Jack started walking again, snapping her fingers and keeping Luna at her side. Sure she knew how to follow her, but this was different, this time she wanted to keep her at her side. Luna was a little upset about things, like being on the leash, because she wasn’t often kept on a leash at this point. Jack sighed a little and shook her head, it didn’t matter much, but that was fine at the same time. At least something was happening she figured as she continuously passed Luna some treats. She wasn’t sure what to expect from her, but this was a fine example of good things to come. Beyond that, she really wasn’t sure what to think of and all that. She seemed to understand the snapping of her fingers meant something though.

Jack let some play in the leash get out and snapped her fingers before walking. Luna walked behind her for a few moments until she snapped her fingers again and she came to her side and started to walk. Jack looked pleased and gave her a few treats when they finally stopped walking. She knew how to follow behind her, but to walk beside her might be better in certain situations, plus it’s not like she could see behind her at all times or anything. Of course she could always look behind her, but that wasn’t the same at the same time. Jack sighed a little, she wasn’t sure what to expect with things, but at least some things were going the way they needed to. After this training, she really wasn’t sure what to do next, but that was something she could worry about later, she assumed. Assuming wasn’t the best thing to do, but what else could she do?

At least she was quick to learn, that much was true she figured with a smile. Jack looked down at the pup and patted her on the head before walking again, snapping her fingers once before she followed at her side. So far she really seemed to be getting it, and the woman was pleased at that for now. She just had to do it off leash now and all would be well. Jack pushed a hand through her hair and yawned, she had gotten up early to take care of her animals so she would have all day today to get this done. That was a good thing, because she didn’t know what all she was going to do at the moment. There was still a huge list of things to train, and part of her wished she hadn’t picked so many things, but at the same time… It was part of who she was, wasn’t it?
