W³ was taking his dear, sweet time replying to her request for a treat, so Isla decided to tackle the next part of the obstacle course in the meantime. She had enough of the treat left to break it into two, sort of equal pieces anyway. Looking up, she noticed a see-saw ahead of them. Great. This looked good and difficult as far as kneazle training went.

Maleficent started to wander off towards who-knew-what, so Isla gave a gentle tug of the harness and steered her back on track. "Whatever you do, don't poop. Kindly save that til after I'm done with my punishment, please," she said, talking more to herself than to the kneazle. It was wishful thinking, at least.

She scooped up the same little ball she'd been using and rubbed the treat along it once again. The scent should be pretty strong by now, but this was only Maleficent's first day of training, so who knew what would work best.

So...a see-saw. What would be the best way to do this? Isla placed the ball on one end of the see-saw.

Maleficent sniffed around then followed the scent to the first part of the see-saw. As she stepped on it, the other side moved up. She was still sniffing the ball when her owner gently pressed down on the opposite side, causing Maleficent to rise up. Her owner placed a piece of the treat on the far end of the see-saw, so without thinking too much on the matter, the kneazle walked the see-saw like a trapeze and claimed her prize.

"Yes!" Isla said, giving a slight fist pump as Maleficent cleared the see-saw. So let's see, they'd jumped through a hoop, walked a winding pathway, and now cleared a see-saw. All that was left was to bee-line to the finish line, and that would be that. Isla collected the ball, for no other reason than she just needed to clean up, and then she tossed the last of the treat across the finish line. Hopefully Maleficent would snatch it up before someone else's pet did.

Maleficent dashed forward, taking her owner on a little jog with her. She crossed the finish line and gobbled up the remaining piece of her treat.

Isla pet her kneazle and gently removed the harness. Hopefully W³ had that second treat ready, because she had one awesome kneazle to give a reward to.
