Hunting training

Hel paste back-and-forth once again waiting for the girl to get up as she seemed to do every day. Today she knew was a special day has she had overheard the girl speaking to the trainer while in town. Hel always knew that when the trainer was involved she was in for a good day of showing off and getting treats. Today, much like every day she had woken up well before the sun had risen above the horizon. Hel was not one to sleep in or miss the sunrise. However this girl was always sleeping. Now Hel was once again waiting for her. Once she did wake up though it was clear the girl was in a rush she flung the covers off of her and hastily picked out some clothes. “Shit shit, we’re gonna be late” the girl cursed as she rushed out the door. Hel trotted close next to her just happy that they were finally on their way. They rushed down the familiar streets. Past the bakery they would often stop and get fresh food at. Hel whined a bit as they passed it. “I’m sorry girl we don’t have time right now later I promise okay?” Hel let out a huff but continued trotting next to the girl. Atleast there would be treats at the training ground this time.

With the training ground now in sight they picked up thier pace. Hel could see the peppy trainer she had worked with in the distance waving to them. “I’m so so sorry we are late I over slept!” Kiki babbled out the words. Hel could tell she was freaking out and wanted to roll her eyes. If the girl didn’t sleep all the time then they would have been up with enough time to stop and get breakfast. Her stomach growled as if agreeing with that statement. Kiki didn’t seem to notice and instead ushered her into the training area. “ no worries I just finished setting up” Hel looked around the arena to see it was set up differently. Where there were usual obstacles littering the arena it was mostly cleared out. “Okay so I sent you home with some homework to work on prey drive” Kiki nodded pulling out the small prey toy that she had been using. “I have it right here!” Kiki heed it up and Hel immediately focused on it. “Perfect!” The trainer clasped her hands together. “Give it to me and put Hel in a down stay facing this way.” Kiki handed her the toy and moved. She pointed to the spot in front of her and Hel came over. She then closed her hand and Hel sat down in front of her. She then opened her palm facing down and Hel layed down. Kiki then turned to the trainer to see what she had instore for them next. “Okay I’m going to go hide this over in the long grass over there. Your going to have Hel sniff it out and alert you when she finds it. Then you’ll give her the command to retrieve and she will grab it and bring it back. Have her drop it in front of you and then bring her back to down stay next to you. Sounds good?” Kiki nodded and watched as the trainer moved over to the grass tossing the toy far into it.

Once they toy was hidden Kiki looked at Hel. “Okay girl. Go through!” Hel got up and lifted her nose high in the air inhaling. Her eyes darted around as she started tracing the scent line. She looked at the trainer where the smell lingered. She padded over to her but the scent was too weak to have come from there. She lifted her nose again. Her head snapping and her eyes falling on the grass. She bounded over to the gras and darted right in. This time she kept her nose low to the ground and pushed the grass aside as she moved. It only took her a few seconds to find what she was looking for. She turned back to the girl and let out a loud baroo to signify that she had found it. “Good girl bring it here!” Kiki called loudly across the field. Hel made quick work to scoop it up and hold it gingerly in her mouth. She trotted back over to where the girl stood. “Out” Kiki said and Hel dropped the toy at her feet sitting in front of her her tail wagging. “Good girl!” Kiki cheered reaching in her pouch and getting a couple treats out for Hel.
