Dinner with Urquhart

[morethanprops]

He opens the door and shoos Franz in as he stirs the fire to warm things up.

There's still a slight chill in the air even though Spring is on the way.

While Moist sees to the fire, Urquhart puts the dog's bowl down, tells him to wait for a moment, holding his attention. Then, he points at the bowl and tells him to start his dinner, which the dog gratefully does, knowing that he has been good and his humans are pleased with him.

"He's becoming very well trained."

"It's important for him to be able to restrain himself in that way," Urquhart says. "Just like waiting for my sign until he fetches something. That way, I make sure that his immediate reaction of 'want' doesn't get in the way of whatever I want him to do."

He stands, watching the dog eat.

"It's fun to work with him."

Moist nods, he'd like to help more but Urquhart's doing the kind of training that his grandfather did,

"I can see that."
