Training your nightmare (heel and stay)

[Butterfly]

HEEL
Congratulations on your choice to train one of the many nightmares within our fair City. Regardless of if you have chosen an Emphant, a Bogrom, a Shamblix or a Horron; the instructions for teaching them to heel are the same.

1) Proceed with care. Allow the nightmare time to see and find you.

2) Move slowly and carefully, avoid quick movements. Nightmares are not as graceful as dreamers are. Try to maintain face-to-face contact.

3) Be patient. Not every nightmare can be trained.

STAY
Once you have gotten your nightmare to heel, the next challenge comes in making it stay. Nightmares are very wilful creatures, and you often need to appeal to their base desires. Treats are the often the best way to do this. Offering yourself negates the purpose of teaching them how to stay.

1)Toss your nightmare some of their favourite treats to get their attention.

2) Begin to back away slowly, this works best with an obstacle at first. Be sure not to leave the room.

3) Maintain eye contact with your nightmare and toss them treats while repeating the word "Stay".

4) Be sure to praise any progress your nightmare makes.
