Summary

Today, we will explore the topic of loose leash walking and how to transition your dog from working in a confined space to going on destination walks.

0:05.2	When do I know my puppy's ready for the sidewalk?
0:12.2	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.
0:19.6	And I'm here to help you every step of the way.
0:22.2	This is the puppy training podcast and I'm your host, Amy Jensen.
0:27.1	Hello and welcome to the podcast. I am so glad you're here. I love talking dogs,
0:32.7	specifically training them to live inside our homes as part of our family. And to do that, I love to talk to you
0:39.4	guys because you are the ones doing the training. And I really enjoy coaching you through that

1:36.4	follow us, not the sidewalk trail or pathway, right? If I take my dog out on a sidewalk for a walk,
1:42.7	they're naturally going to follow the
1:44.6	sidewalk. Or if I take them on a trail up here in the mountains where I live, they're naturally going to
1:49.4	follow the trail. Yeah, they go off the trail and come back on the trail, but they always come back
1:52.8	to the trail. So they're trying to follow that. And I want them to learn, actually you follow me or we work together. So it makes sense that when we're teaching a dog to walk
