The ball missed him again when she threw another one, and then she leaned down and picked up a rock out of the pile she kept there just for this training. It was a little one, not much bigger than a pebble, but it would still sting when it hit him. She tossed it up into the air and then caught it as it came back down and she looked at the Houluh. She hated doing it to these animals, but she knew he would need a bath before his show anyway, so she could fix him up if they actually hurt him or something. Jack tossed one last foam ball at him and smiled when he dodged out of the way. They were slow in the air of course, and easy to dodge after a little while, but rocks were something else at this stage, and she hoped it wouldn't hurt him too badly.

Jack stood squarely looking at the pup and then threw the rock at him, wincing when it smacked right into his haunch. They flew a lot faster and hit harder, and the Houluh whimpered and licked at his side a little when he realized what had happened. This was new, and he really didn't like this... Jack smiled sympathetically at him and then threw another one, hoping it would miss him, but it didn't and hit him on the side as she tried to miss him maybe a little bit. It was all for naught though, and it hit him again on the side when she threw another one. To his credit he was trying to get out of the way but wasn't quite making it, thanks to the weight of the rocks. Still though, she was sure he would have it down by the time they were finished with this one.

Things were fine, she knew they would be fine, but for now she knew she had to throw rocks, so throw rocks she did. One by one she threw them at the Houluh until he could dodge them all if they were only thrown one at a time. Time to up her game, she knew, and she hadn't tried this before but she would now. Jack took two rocks and threw them at the Houluh, he dodged out of the way of one and got hit by the other, but at least it was a start to something. He would have to learn how to dodge multiple opponents at some point, maybe, and that was something he would certainly not like no matter what. Jack pushed her hair back with a smile, hoping he saw the genius in this training like the others did, but she doubted he would, he was all puppy.

Whatever the case, she knew this had to be done. Jack threw a couple more rocks at the Houluh and smiled when he finally, after several tries, started to dodge both rocks that were thrown. That was good, but not quite enough she knew, and she knew what she had to do next. For now she kept him on his toes, wondering if things would work out between them, or if he was going to be so mad at her for this training. All she knew was that he liked her at the moment, and that was just fine with her. The woman chewed on her lip a little as she threw more rocks at him, shortening the time in between throws as time went on. She was sure he was getting it down, just a little longer and then things would be perfect and they could do his show. At least that's what she hoped.

Jack then picked up a handful of rocks and threw them at the pup. He whimpered and tried to dodge them all but still got hit by some of them. He was doing so well though she couldn't help but toss him a treat, which he caught on accident and chewed up pretty quickly in order to dodge the rocks that were thrown next. Jack chuckled, it had been a dirty trick, but that was fine at the same time, she knew that things would work out in the end and his opponents wouldn't be kind enough to wait for him to finish something in order to attack. In fact, they would attack when he was distracted, which was good for him to learn at the same time. Hopefully he was getting something from this, which, if she asked him, he really was learning something from all of this, he knew that much.

As the woman threw handfuls of rocks at the pup again and again, she realized more were missing him than hitting him at this point, and those were just flukes she figured. Still, she had to keep going until things were finished, and when the next set of rocks loosed from her hand, he managed to dodge them all. She did it a few more times just to make sure it wasn't some accident, but he managed to dodge them all at the same time, hoping they were almost done because he was getting pretty tired. It was a lot of work for a little pup, ,and she was sure he would complain to Kanellos about learning this when they were back home, the prim and proper Houluh who was princely back at the Kennel. Jack finally stopped and let Cocoa rest for awhile before gathering up her stuff and the pup and heading home to give him a bath.

Heathen was an interesting little pup, she thought as she strode through the Park with him at her heels thanks to the leash she had on him. At least he wasn't raging at her anymore, that was always a good thing, right? Jack sighed a little and shook her head, unsure as to what they were going to do at the Park today, but figured they had to do something after all. He needed to grow up with the help of the Goddess, and that was that. "Heathen," she said, looking at him once they got to her area and they settled in a little bit. When he finally looked at her, she gave him a treat with a smile and patted him on the head. It was remarkable what things might happen when they were loyal enough, but at this point she wasn't going to worry about it too much right now.

"Heathen!" she barked when he got a little further away than she wanted him to be. She frowned a little and shook her head when he turned to glare at her, but she tossed him a treat and he came trotting back to sniff at her feet. Sure there were other things she could be training him, but teaching him his name was a good enough start, she figured. Jack pushed her hair back and sighed a little, patting him on the head as he nipped at her a little bit. Well at least he had that much down, but she was sure it was going to be difficult to get him to do much of anything else, he was somewhat stubborn after all. Oh well, that didn't matter, he would train up well enough just like the others did at this point, and that was all she really needed to know about that.

Whatever happened, she needed some of her Houluh to be able to protect themselves and the others around them. Heathen was shaping up to be that one at this point, which worked well for her when it came to training, she figured. Jack chewed on her lip and then looked at the pup again, "Heathen!" He glanced over at her for a moment but didn't get a treat until his full attention was on her. That was much better, she figured as she patted him on the head and gave him a treat finally. It was all going to be alright in the long run, but she didn't know what to do for the moment other than what she was already doing. Jack shook her head a little, she didn't know where her thoughts were taking her, but at the same time, that wasn't a terrible thing, at least she was thinking while training.

Jack rubbed Heathen's head for a moment before letting him off to sniff around again. Surely he smelled all the other Houluh and part of what they had done over the time they had all been there, right? She sighed a little and rubbed her face before saying his name again, "Heathen!" The pup looked over at her until she gave him a treat, which was good enough for her at the moment, just a little while longer and they could move on to the much more fun things, she figured. Jack wasn't sure what she was going to do with Heathen, however, was she going to breed him? It only made sense to, she figured, but at the same time it wasn't like she wanted that personality to pass down any or anything like that. She huffed a little and put her hands on her hips, she didn't know what she was going to do.

Everything would work out in the end, she knew, but getting to the fun stuff was the hardest part. She felt like she was cheating a little, getting to the fun stuff before a lot of the foundation work she usually did, but it was worth it when it came to her Houluh and their shows and all that. Jack rubbed her chin a little as she thought about it, he had the air of a leader about him, but Luna was certainly an alpha when all was said and done. She smiled a little and wondered what she was going to do with him when they were all done again before she said his name, "Heathen." Such an odd name for a pup, but he looked over at her and sat down to stare at her a little before she tossed him a treat. Good enough, now they could have some fun!

Now came the fun part, she knew that Heathen would enjoy this more than anything, and the woman smiled a little before she grabbed a stick and poked at the Houluh’s mouth a little, ”Bite, Heathen!” The pup snarled a little and backed away for a moment before he finally nipped at the stick out of frustration. Jack cheered and tossed him a treat, for which he was entirely confused about at this point. What was the point of doing that if she usually said he was being bad? It was weird, he didn’t understand her, but he supposed that was alright right now, maybe this was all something new, he just didn’t know what to make of it at the moment. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled, ready to keep going with the pup for a little while, at least until he got this part down and they could move on to some of the more fun things than this.

Heathen just wasn’t sure what to do about the woman sometimes, but that didn’t matter right now he supposed as the stick came toward him again. ”Bite!” the woman told him, jabbing it at his mouth until he bit down on it with a little growl. He was done with this, he didn’t like it, but there was nothing else he could do about it except for what he did. Again he was praised and was tossed a treat, which he munched thoughtfully for a little while as he wondered what was going on. She wanted him to bite something? But that didn’t make any sense at the moment, he thought, she usually never wanted him to bite on things. This was different, however, and the pup barked at the woman with a little hint of frustration in his voice as he looked at her. She chuckled a little, and shook her head, patting him on the head as well.

As Jack listened to Heathen whine for a little while about how it wasn’t fair for her to be doing this when he couldn’t chew on things at home, she finally explained it to him in a way he would understand. He could only bite things she pointed at when she said the word she had been using. From now on she would point, which would help things out quite a bit, and he nodded a little, still stinging a bit from the unfairness of it all, but he bit onto a log whenever she pointed and told him, ”Bite!” The pup got another treat and the woman was pleased with his progress so far, wondering what was going to happen to them as time went on. Would they really become better friends or something? Or was it something she was going to have to work at much more than she already was? Either way, it was going to be a lot of work, she knew.

It didn’t seem fair when she thought about it, but he needed the discipline in order to be well trained, she knew, so this was how it had to be. ”Heathen, bite!” she told him, pointing at the log again with a smile on her face. He bit down hard and it cracked a little bit, much to her happiness at this point, but for now she tossed him a treat and patted him on the head, wondering what to do with him next. Of course she had a list of things to teach him but wasn’t sure what to work on next. There wasn’t all that to do with things right now, and the woman wasn’t sure what to do with everything right now. Jack smiled a little and patted him on the head as she tossed him another treat. Things would be fine as it went on and all that, but she knew training was going to be rough today and all that, which wasn’t the point of training, at least she thought.
