When we created our company, we designed it to be an online interface where we could help clients around

the world train their dogs from home. Many people thought we were crazy, but then COVID hit and

everyone jumped on board. So today we're talking about virtual and remote puppy training. What has

changed and what works. Welcome to the puppy training podcast. I'm Amy Jensen, founder of Baxter and Bella, the online

from training tips to practical tricks, all aimed at fostering a happy, well-behaved dog who

truly feels like part of the family.

we are diving into a topic that has grown massively over the last few years and continues to reshape the way families raise and train their dogs.

We're talking about virtual and remote puppy training. In recent years, virtual training has absolutely exploded as more families are looking for flexible, more accessible ways to raise

well-behaved dogs. And you know what? A lot of really good things have come out of it. So today,
