195 Dog Team
After Emma went down the mountain to collect fruit, Lawrence was idle and didn't have anything particularly to worry about.
At this time, I saw a chubby puppy coming back from outside, swaying in front of me with a little tail and slipping away, running outside the wooden shed to lie on his stomach and bask in the sun.
Seeing this puppy, Lawrence walked over curiously, squatted down and touched Doug's belly.
Doug looked up at the dog's head, and when he saw that it was Lawrence, he lay down again.
Lawrence withdrew his hand, "With such a bulging belly, and I don't know what I ate, who is out there to feed you?" ”
At this time, the shepherdess was about to go back to take care of the children from the back of the house, and Lawrence called out to her.
"What does Doug usually eat? Does anyone feed it today? ”
The shepherdess looked at the little fat dog lying down and yawning, and replied, "Today I heard from a man who was picking wild vegetables in the forest that he and a little pig were digging a mouse hole in the forest and eating a nest of little mice. ”
"Piggy?" Lawrence knew very well that there were no piglets on the farm, but that there were pregnant old sows, or other villagers who had brought them from home.
The shepherdess said, "Is it a little boar, do you want to catch it?" ”
Lawrence shook his head, "Forget it, don't worry about it, since catching rats to eat, that's a good thing, don't go hunting in the forest casually now, do your own thing." ”
"Yes, master." The shepherdess honestly agreed.
Lawrence said, "There's nothing else to do, you go get busy." ”
"Yes, master." The shepherdess left here and went home to take care of the little ones.
Lawrence looked at the little fat dog, who was now much older than he was at the beginning because he was well fed and drunk.
Small animals are born within one or two months, are the fastest growth time, this time with adequate nutrition, will play a good role in development.
Originally, I wanted to tie Doug to the door now to get used to the daily life of the guard dog in advance, but since it is a good dog to catch mice, I will keep it for a while.
Doug, the unattended dog, quickly fell asleep peacefully.
After dinner, Lawrence picked up a shovel and went to feed the dogs.
Brick, the dog trainer, is on a business trip to Ferry Village, and Lawrence is in charge of feeding the dogs today.
The two slave girls approached the dog pen with a rice bowl and rice bucket, and as soon as they opened the door and walked in, the dogs inside quickly rushed towards several people.
"Woohoo!"
"Wang!"
"Whew!"
"Woo!"
A group of dogs in the dog pen were barking like crazy, and they were about to pounce, obviously they were all isolated on the opposite side of the one-meter-high wooden fence, but at this time, the frenzied appearance made the slave girls who entered here for the first time frightened and did not dare to move.
The hounds, who were becoming more and more vicious, were about to take a leap of course, and soon they sat down as if they had seen something terrible.
More than a dozen dogs, at the same time closed their mouths.
The slave girl breathed a sigh of relief, looked behind her, and saw that it was Lawrence who had entered.
Lawrence, who was armed with a shovel, exuded a chilling horror all over his body, which triggered the instinctive memory of a group of dogs who had been beaten.
The dog training skills of the snow cave people are very unpretentious, that is, fighting.
After beating, it still didn't work, so he beat him to death.
If you are killed, you will eat meat by the way.
In this age of barbarism, disobedient dogs have no value, not even worth wasting food, and the best end is to become food.
There is no need for long-term observation, and if it doesn't work for a few days, you will be beaten to death, and you can train the next dog cleanly.
The more fierce the resistance, the more ruthless the beating, the more ruthless the performance, the more ruthless the beating, and every time it is beaten according to the dog's head, so the memory is very profound.
Only obedient dogs can eat and not be beaten.
It is necessary to maintain reverence and loyalty and humility towards the master, but also to be malicious and ferocious towards those outside the master.
"Just pour the food into the basin."
The two slave girls are very careful about their work and seem to be afraid of dogs.
The stronger and more powerful the man, the more suitable he is for this kind of work, but often these people are also suitable for other things.
Lawrence wants to trade a snow cave man for a dog, and although Brick can also train dogs, he feels that these dogs are more afraid of him for a while.
They are not afraid of holding shovels, and if someone else comes with a shovel, they will be yelled at by the dogs.
Violence is key, food and rewards are key, and establishing rules and order is the key to keeping this group of dogs.
Usually the dog training is mainly done by Brick, and Lawrence mainly acts as a new owner.
Like Doug, who had previously served as a leader, the dogs could tell the difference between feeding slaves, dog trainers, and true masters.
Two of the best domesticated hounds were taken away by Brick, but now there are a few good dogs in the pen as well.
"Rakel." Lawrence beckoned the first dog over for dinner.
A large, snow-white dog happily wagged its tail in place, jumped from behind the wooden fence, ran to Lawrence and squatted down.
"Wang!"
Lawrence looked at the white dog and kicked the large wooden basin in front of him, "Eat." ”
Rakle snorted twice quickly, and quickly came over to lean over to eat.
The boiled potato cereal with half a chicken on it was soon running out of nuggets, and Luck ate all the little meat under the envious gaze of the other big dogs.
This dog is the head dog and the soul of the sled team, not only can lead the sled team forward, but also help suppress the rest of the sled dogs, so that the rest of the sled dogs can maintain respect for their owners.
Behaviors such as guarding food, screaming, being irritable, and being disobedient are not okay here.
If it were in a civilized society, the fate of these dogs would be slightly better.
Dogs that guard food and disobey will be eliminated even if they can't serve as hunting dogs, not as miserable as here, and will be fed by the barbarians.
While incentives and well-intentioned guidance certainly worked, Brick obviously didn't have as many resources when training dogs, unlike Lawrence, who was free to give the dog team a meal and eat meat.
After the head dog finished eating, Lawrence called out to three old friend dogs.
"Tim! Pulling! Tyr! ”
Three lively sled dogs happily ran over to say hello, and only after getting Lawrence's permission could they bow their heads to eat.
Lawrence touched Luck's head and allowed the rest of the dogs to come over to eat only after the three sled dogs had almost finished eating.
The rest of the food is basically meatless, and the sled dog team is not suitable for being too aggressive.
Lawrence said to the two women, "They're not hounds, they're sled dogs that pull trucks, you don't have to be afraid of them." ”
The two women were still a little scared, so they could only stand trembling and not speak.
Lawrence was not forced, and in the future, he would let a few well-behaved sled dogs go out for a walk every day, otherwise these suffocated dogs would be very aggressive.
You can walk the dog properly, or interact with it.
There isn't much flat land in the mountains, so there's no good training ground either.
Lawrence helped clean up the dog poop in the dog pen, then closed the door with the two slave girls and let them go back to sleep, wash themselves and go back to the house to rest.
The manor soon fell silent at night.
Doug, who had slept for a long time during the day, quickly raised his head, and it smelled a familiar scent.
The little chubby dog stood up, walked merrily on all fours, and ran through the crack in the wooden door to the other side of the river.
"Wang!"
"Humph!"
A piglet and a puppy soon converged and ran down the river to the place downstream.
The little boar found a dead tree with a lot of fat bugs, and also found a lot of mushrooms and big fat bugs.
The puppy doesn't have such a good sense of smell and follows the little boar in search of food under the leaves on the ground.
