This is the puppy training podcast episode number 36.

Drop it, leave it, or both.

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.

Hi friends. How's it going today? I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Today I want to explain the difference between two important behaviors, drop it and leave it,

and when to use them. Sometimes it's one,

the other, or even both. So I'm going to explain that today to hopefully clarify things a little bit.

But first, I want to give a shout out to Shannon. Thanks for listening to the podcast. And thanks for

your question that you sent in today. I appreciated seeing that and I had fun replying to you.

Shannon asked a question about what she should do when her dog sees other dogs and starts to react to

them. And she just has a young puppy. Sometimes even our young puppies will hear a dog barking or

they'll see a dog and they either get super excited or they get a little fearful and we need to know the best way to handle it.

So I sent Shannon over to episode number 27 of the podcast.

It's entitled Reactivity.

And if you have a dog who's doing similar behaviors, check that out.

Also, it is the season of giving, right?

And what better gift to give to someone getting a new puppy than an instruction manual? Who doesn't want an instruction manual for their brand new dog? And I just want

to pull this out there. We offer a lifetime membership to all the dog training resources
