Mariposa

During the lesson: Mariposa had some problems with drawing a line between teamwork and playtime with her littermates. Soleil was serious when they told them that bonding and working together were not the same thing.

During the lesson: Mariposa was sure that she was the best sniffer there was! No one was able to do it better... But it started to rain, and the scent became much weaker and left her circling in confusion.

During the lesson: Mariposa tested out some killing techniques on the carcass. Soleil explained which methods take the most strength, but are also the quickest, which saves energy and spares the prey from suffering.

During the lesson: It seemed that Mariposa achieved perfection today, at least in comparison with a couple of trials before. She jumped with joy and ran to her parents to prove that she was almost an adult now!

During the lesson: Mariposa now understands how to interpret every ear position with alignment of the tail angle. It was so complex, but Soleil was a good teacher.

During the lesson: Amaris explained how important it is not only to hide out of sight, but also out of scent range. Concealing scent is much more difficult than finding a good hiding spot, but it could be the difference between life and death.
