[Accept Darkness – 7]
Finally she didn’t seem to mind it, and was sniffing around inside of the bag, inside of the training area at this point. Sure, she couldn’t smell much, but what was there, was interesting. Jack smiled as she watched the pup wander around, trying to find her way in the darkness of the bag, but she wasn’t getting too far. Hopefully this would make it easier to work with her at night, because there were a few things she wanted to do with her at night time when it came to training. Pushing her hair back and swearing she would cut it eventually, she smiled and finally went over and took the bag off of Luna’s head. The Houluh barked and blinked a few times as her eyes readjusted to the light. The woman chuckled a little and reached down to rub her head a few times, she was doing really well.

[Accept Enclosed Spaces – 1]
For long distances, it would be easier to transport Luna in a kennel, she figured as she opened up the door to the little kennel that was implanted in the ground for this training. Jack called the pup over to her and smiled as she loped along, wondering what was going to happen next. She tossed a treat into the kennel and pushed the pup into it with a strange look on her face, and Luna fought back a little bit to try and get out of it. She pushed against the door after it was latched and whined before she paced as well as she could for the moment. Luna whined a little and stared at her with big eyes, and Jack smiled pityingly at her as she stared. It was a good thing she was going to be alright with things, she could tell it would take a little while for her to get used to the small space, but it was for the best.

Luna wasn’t happy about being in a small space, and let it be known by barking and pushing up against the gate of the kennel. She whined at the woman and barked again, but Jack just pushed a treat through the wires with a little smile on her face. While she hated doing this to her animals, it was important for them to be alright with things like this, she figured, you never knew what kind of situation you might be put into after all. So she wanted for Luna to be good with a lot of different situations, and their training was starting to reflect that, even though she hadn’t been taught any moves yet. That was fine, she figured they would start small and work their way up, that wouldn’t be bad, would it? Jack just hoped that Luna would be alright with it sooner rather than later, they still had quite the list of things to work on, after all.

All Jack knew was that things needed to get done, so as much as she hated training these few things, they needed to get done. She knew it was going to be hard to watch Luna get used to such a small space, but it was going to have to happen if they were going to get this figured out. The pup whined and bit at the kennel wires, to which Jack reached out and pushed her back a little bit before giving her another little handful of kibble. She didn’t know what else to do for her, but that was going to be fine. Luna sadly ate the treats and looked up at the woman with soulful eyes, but the woman just shook her head, she wasn’t going to be taken in by that or anything, and that was the rough part. Part of her wished that she could be taken in, but that wasn’t the case.

Whatever happened, she couldn’t let her out until she accepted her fate for awhile. Sure she would always be happy when she was let out, but other than that, what could she do? Jack sighed a little and sat down next to the kennel, leaning against it and watching as Luna paced in a small circle and then threw her head back and howled. She didn’t know what was going on, but that was fine, Jack knew it was almost done and all that, and she was sure that things would be alright in the end of it. Luna was a strong pup, and the woman knew that things would be fine whenever she got it down at the end of it all. Smiling, she dropped more pieces of kibble into the kennel that Luna gobbled up. Maybe she should take it easy for awhile… ”You’re doing fine, Luna, just keep it up,” she told her with a little smile.

Luna finished eating the kibble pieces and whined before she curled up and laid down on the floor of the kennel, staring at the woman. She wasn’t happy, but she could handle it, she figured, especially since she knew she would be let out eventually, at least she hoped so. Leaning forward a little, she licked the side of the kennel and then stared at the woman some more in hopes that she could leave soon. Jack smiled at her and patted the kennel a little before glancing up at the sky. It still looked like it was going to get nasty out sometime, but she didn’t know when it was going to be. Usually her leg would tell her when things would happen, but with her new leg… Sometimes her hip let her know, but she knew it was going to snow soon anyway. She figured Luna was fine now that she was laying down and being silent, and she figured it was time to work on something new again, if only to get it done.

[Accept Noise – 1]
Jack let the pup out of the kennel, much to her pleasure it seemed, and then dug around in her bag for a bit until she found what she was looking for. It was a canister with a funnel on one side of it and a button on the top, she could press it and a loud noise would come from the can, she liked it for this training, and she had plenty she could used. They tended to scare things away that came too close as well. She grinned and then pushed the button, making a loud, low noise, making the Houluh pup jump into the air, spinning as she did so, and growl a little when she landed. She hadn’t been expecting that and she didn’t like it one bit. Luna snarled a little and snapped at the canister, but the woman frowned and popped her lightly on the nose and she stopped. That was the good thing about it, she figured.

Luna snorted at the woman and then turned around again to sniff at some weeds, when the woman pushed the button again. Once more the loud sound came from the canister and the Houluh jumped, though maybe not as high as the first time, which was good! Still though, she turned and growled, her hackles raised. Though she wouldn’t attack the woman, she might try to bite the canister, which wouldn’t be good either, because it had every opportunity to explode if that was the case. Jack reached out and patted her on the head, making her sigh wearily a little bit. She was done with this training already, and they’d only just begun, it seemed. Oh well, she was sure this had something to do with things, and she was sure this would be important in the future. Or something. Maybe things wouldn’t go so badly in the future, that’s what the woman apparently thought about it when she did things.

While the canister was annoying, she knew it had something good to do with her at the moment, she figured. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled apologetically at her before pushing the button again. This time at least, she could see the button getting pushed, and while Luna barely jumped, she still growled at her a little bit. Jack wasn’t sure when things were going to get better, but at least that was a start she figured. She bit her lip as she thought about it, and wondered what she was going to do about things at the moment. While she knew this training was important in the long run, she didn’t know if it actually… did anything, really. Sighing, she shook her head, she would keep doing it though, and that would be the best of it in the long run. At least it was something to keep her busy at the moment, right?

If anything, at least it was making her less jumpy, which was good at the very least. Jack reached out and stroked the Houluh’s back for a moment before she pressed the button again. She smiled when Luna didn’t jump, but just stood there and growled at her a little bit, though not as bad as before. It looked like she was going to be good with things for the moment, but they still needed to do it a few more times to make sure of things at the moment. Pushing her hair back, she smiled at the little pup and then patted her on the back again to smooth down her fur, then looked around a bit. It was going to snow, and she hoped they were done training before it happened, though probably not, not with her luck being what it was right now. Sure, she was doing pretty well, but that wasn’t the point at the moment, she just hoped things were going to be fine.

Jack pushed the button again and the pup growled at her once more. Not good enough, she figured, but she still smiled, they were making progress at least, which was a good thing no matter how she looked at it. Chewing on her lip, she wondered how much longer she was going to need to do this in order for her to understand what was going on and to not be so jumpy anymore. It wasn’t like they had all day to train. Well… they did, but that wasn’t the point at the moment. Jack chuckled a little at herself and rubbed the Houluh’s velvety ears a bit, and she hoped that things would work out for them in the end of it all, she figured. All she could do was keep doing what she was doing and hope for the best, it wasn’t like things were going to go downhill the more they did it.

Things would be alright eventually she knew, but for now she needed to keep blowing the horn and call it good for awhile. She just didn’t know what to do for now, and that was fine. She pushed the button again and smile as the Houluh growled again but then wandered off. At least she hadn’t jumped or anything at the moment she figured, it wasn’t like she wasn’t improving or anything. Jack pushed her hair back and patted Luna on the back when she came over, tongue lolling out again, and leaned up against her. If anything, at least she didn’t resent the woman for all of her horn blowing or anything. Luna was still as affectionate as ever it seemed, which was definitely a good thing, she didn’t want to make her aggressive with this. No matter what, she was sure things would be alright in the end of it all, though she needed to keep working with her and everything, or else it wouldn’t work out in the end.

If everything kept going the way it was going, she was sure things would be over soon. Jack smiled and rubbed her head before blowing the horn again and making the Houluh growl a little bit. At least it wasn’t as bad as the last time, she had to give her that much, and she smiled a little bit at the reaction. It was more of an instinctive reaction than anything, because the Houluh didn’t look over at her or anything, just growled, and she hadn’t jumped for awhile now it seemed. At least things were going to work out for them now it seemed, and she hoped that she wasn’t going to have to worry about anything for awhile now. She just had to get her used to sudden movements and it was going to be alright. Of course she wanted to make sure Luna didn’t even growl at the noise before they moved on, but that would only take another time or two before they were fully finished.

Without much motivation, she pushed the button again on the canister. Luna woofed a little under her breath, but it was more of an answer than retaliation or reaction to the sound. Jack cheered a little in her head and pushed her hair back before patting Luna on the back when she trotted over again for more treats and pats. Of course Jack obliged, she was pleased to work with the little Houluh, she was doing so well as well, and the woman smiled at her a little bit. At least things were going the way they needed to be at the moment, she just hoped the rest of the training was going to be fine at the same time. Jack chewed on her lip a little and sighed, she wasn’t looking forward for the rest of the training, but… it was what it was. Things were going to be fine no matter what, and she knew it was going to be fine.

[Accept Sudden Movements – 1]
Time for the last of these that she trained, at least for Luna. It was time for her to get used to sudden movements, a good thing to be sure, she didn’t want her spooked by something flying by or anything. Jack lunged at the Houluh, only to fall on the ground as the pup ran off yelping. She didn’t know if it was shock at how fast she had moved or the fact that she was suddenly just there. Either way, she needed to get used to it if anything was going to happen with her, though she didn’t know if she would enter her into tournaments or contests at this point. Maybe both? It was possible, though she didn’t know what to expect from things at this point. Whatever the case, she called Luna over to her after she calmed down and gave her a few treats to help her out. She didn’t want her terrified, she wanted the opposite, after all. Hopefully she would get it, but she didn’t really know.
