0:00.0	The biggest mistake people make when bringing home a new puppy is giving that puppy too much freedom too soon.
0:05.6	Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting moments for any pet parent, but it's also a time when things can easily go off track if you're not careful.
0:14.5	Welcome to the puppy training podcast. I'm Amy Jensen, founder of Baxter and Bella, the online puppy school.
0:21.7	Here we are all about helping you create the best possible experience raising a puppy.
0:27.0	From training tips to practical tricks, all aimed at fostering a happy, well-behaved dog
0:32.6	who truly feels like part of the family.
0:35.2	So if you are ready to enjoy the journey and strengthen the bond with
0:38.9	your dog, let's get started. Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for
0:48.3	listening. Today's audio comes from our YouTube channel at Baxter and Bella. So we are talking about the biggest
0:55.0	mistake I see people make. Let's jump into it. If you want to see the video, head over to our

1:20.5	to major behavioral issues down the road. Remember your puppy is just that a puppy. So they're
1:26.0	going to do puppy behaviors like digging, maybe in your
1:29.2	carpets. They might want to jump up onto your sofas. They might want to go instill that sock,
1:34.5	especially if it's a smelly one. They're going to explore and want to get into mischief. I know it can
1:39.5	be tough. But puppies need structure, boundaries, and routine to feel safe and secure. When a puppy feels
1:45.1	safe and secure, they're more likely to relax and settle in your home. It's easier to begin with a
1:50.7	good habit and build the good habits rather than undo an unwanted habit. So what should you do instead?
