As Pearce began to praise him Whisky wagged his tail excitedly enough to wiggle his entire bottom again. As the treat was lowered to him the pup quickly jumped up and took the offered food happily. Zander kept his own excitement to himself but couldn't help the smile on his face. At Pearces question he shrugged his shoulders.
"That depends. Would you want to continue working on this command or move to something else I've been teaching him?" There were certain commands of course the nobleman wouldn't help with. Zander was training Whisky to be a working dog. That meant guarding and attacking on command. Things Pearce wouldn't particularly need the dog for. Simple commands like sit and wait or teaching him who was in control of the food and toys would be good though. Just enough to get the pup to respect Pearce as well. That was something that needed to be taught now before he got too big and harder to handle.
"I can also show you claiming so he doesn't get food or toy aggressive around you."

After studying the pup for a moment he shrugged. Whisky seemed to understand the command well enough. He'd certainly seen Zander use it with the dog before and more or less understood that Whisky was intelligent. The noble supposed any working he did with the dog was more about his own comfort level. Well, and the dog's comfort level with him being in charge, he supposed.
Pearce shrugged, still not really sure. "Something else?" He suggested and then nodded as Zander continued. "I am less worried about him stealing my food than..." he trailed off and blushed. Partly because he probably shouldn't joke about not eating in front of Zander. And because he wasn't sure dogs could be aggressive over people like they could about food. Was that a thing? "Ah, yes. Show me that," he clarified with an awkward smile.
