Winter

* Anything, leaning to Finisher
Pupsitter: Cedar
Mentor: Skylar

During the lesson: Skylar led Winter to an unfamiliar place today. He was tasked with finding his way back to the den all on his own with Skylar watching from afar.

During the lesson: After learning the basics in a familiar area, Skylar took Winter to train outside the den for a new, exciting challenge. Winter had to ambush Skylar using all the knowledge gathered so far and see how different it is in an unfamiliar area.

During the lesson: Skylar brought a massive branch today and asked all participants to grab onto it with their jaws and hang as long as possible. It looked hilarious as they walked around the den like this for a long while, but Winter determinedly kept his jaw shut and ignored the giggles of the other pups.

During the lesson: Winter was reminded to work on his attention span. While his physical condition was perfect, Winter needed to fight the urge to use every opportunity to play.

During the lesson: Winter learned that not only the ingredients but also the proportions can change a cure into a poison. He felt a lot more responsible after this lesson.

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

During the lesson: Skylar explained how different fur colors and patterns made a difference in how Winter would be able to hide. He picked up on it quickly, and soon Skylar couldn't find him!
