Lilac

Like, ofc she's aggressively on top of the positive reinforcement, but she's also regularly doing behaviour modification by changing his selfharming behaviours.

The funniest part tho is the conditioning: with a dog, you train them to react a certain way in response to certain stimuli. This is usually a pretty difficult and time consuming thing to do. Except Utage has him doing it within the first 10 mins of the series. Every time she uses a specific tone with him after he insults himself ("what did you say about Tamon-kun??"), she's got him trained to respond with some random self love comment ("Tamon-kun is a national treasure). She's not even cueing him anymore he's just fucking doing it.

She's got him at the highest level of dog training after like a week. What this tells me is that 1. Utage is an extremely efficient 'trainer', and 2. Tamon is EXTREMELY receptive to being trained.
