This is the puppy training podcast episode 138, the first week together.

This podcast is designed to help you on your journey of becoming best friends through love and learning as you train your own dog from home.

And I'm here to help you every step of the way.

This is the puppy training

podcast and I'm your host, Amy Jensen. Happy spring, everybody. We can finally see our grass.

You guys, it is so nice to be able to run around outside without a big bulky coat, boots,

or mittens. Am I right? My dogs love rolling around in the

grass and finding the sunniest spot in the yard to relax. Bruno, he'll just head out and want to

sunbathe in the afternoon. So still a little cold, still a little windy, but you guys,

the snow is melting. And if you know that I live in Utah, and we've gotten so

much snow this year, in fact, it was a record-breaking year of how much snow we've had. So,

super exciting. We need the water, but we're also ready to see it melt. I hope you're having a

good week, too. With dog training, I know some days are good and others can be really frustrating.

What's important is that you remain consistent and give you and your dog grace.

You guys, we are on a journey.

It is not a race or a competition in any way.

You are not competing against anyone else or anyone else's dog.

It is just between you and your dog.

So take a step back if you need to.

Take a deep breath.

And we're here to help you.

Today I want to answer a question that recently came to my inbox.
