0:00.0	if you're getting a puppy now and they think that you're home 24-7 and interacting with them all the time
0:06.4	and they're not having any alone time, I think that that change to the regular work schedule
0:12.3	or work week can be quite dramatic and unsettling for them.
0:16.0	So you're saying don't wait three months to start crate training.
0:19.5	Correct. Or confinement training, whatever.
0:22.0	They need some alone time every day.
0:51.7	Hey there, fellow training nerds. I'm Hannah Branigan, teacher, trainer, podcaster, stressed out homeschooler, and author of the book, Awesome Obedience, which you can pick up from clitortraining.com.
0:55.8	I've gotten a lot of, well, kind of frantic emails recently from folks who have puppies right now or are expecting puppies really soon. And they're very

2:09.0	I'm talking with Debbie Martin about how to solve this puppy socialization problem. But here's what's
2:14.2	really cool. Pretty much everything we talked about applies not just to puppies,
2:19.0	but to training all of our dogs right now, which I hadn't really thought about, but that's how
2:22.1	it turned out? And how cool is that? So you should listen, even if you don't have a puppy right now,
