Mal

During the lesson: Olive stuffed herbs into her mouth and chewed them into a paste. She spit the wad into a paw and dabbed it onto a leaf, showing Mal the proper technique.

During the lesson: Mal was a bit disappointed with his voice after the next howling attempt but adults always say that it will change for the better with time. Mal believed them, but can't that day come sooner?

During the lesson: Dani managed to hide the toy so well that Mal had trouble picking up its scent, and it took some time to dig the toy out. Mal didn't give up easily and worked until the task was complete.

During the lesson: Timing is key when working with others so that you don't get in their way. Mal learned that being first sometimes means that you're the first one that gets scolded by Olive if something goes wrong.

During the lesson: Aster didn't even need to describe the hunt's setup when Mal started stalking the carcass and pouncing, finishing the hunt with small nibbles at the throat. Excited, but smart.

During the lesson: The good manners lesson went awry today when Mal started inventing bizarre and funny excuses to make everyone laugh instead of learning how to apologize with respect. Dapple was serious in scolding him, but he noticed her smiling when the other pups weren't looking.
