This is the puppy training podcast episode number 17, getting ready.

This podcast is for those looking to train their own dog, whether as a family companion,

a service, or a therapy dog, 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.

Hello, how was your week, you guys? Thanks for tuning in. We had a good week here

at our house. I can't believe it's already August. The time in the summer flies by. So we are

having a good time enjoying our last few weeks of summer before school starts and schedules change

and we're back in a routine. I am usually ready for a routine

about this time of year, but I don't know. It came quicker this year than it was ready for it.

So I'm enjoying my last couple weeks of having my kids home with me. I really like it when they're

here. They help me a lot with my business and with my puppy training.

So I'm always sad to see them go back to school.

But it is nice to have a set schedule.

All right.

So what training successes have you guys had this week?

What have you been working on?

What is your dog doing well?

What is he struggling with?

I've got boots here in training.

As you may know, he's a little Australian Labradoodle.

He's almost 13 weeks.

And he has been a funny puppy to teach shake to.
