This is the puppy training podcast episode number 84, therapy work.

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, everybody. I feel like we are friends.

May I call you that? May I call you friends now?

Have you spent enough time with me in my podcast that you feel like we could be that?

I really appreciate you checking in with me

each week and taking away something that you can then go do with your dog. Hopefully the tips that I

share are helping. We cover things like leash walking, puppy biting, house training, crate training,

jumping and more. And today I want to focus on things that go above and beyond just the

basic training. Many of you are to the point where you and your dog are doing really well. You have

a daily schedule figured out, you have a basic understanding of dog behavior, and how to achieve

success. Your dog is peeing and pooping outside, which is great, right? And you are able to go for an

adventure together every once in a while. So now what? Others of you are just getting started, and I understand that.

Or maybe you're even waiting to get started. I have several clients in my program that are just

preparing, which is awesome. Way to get in early, you guys, and prepare. And that is an exciting time, too.

Our program has everything from preparing you for

your puppy to come home, helping that first week together, as well as the basic and intermediate

training courses and modules. So I hope you are accessing those many resources that we provide

for you. We absolutely love what we do. Today is geared towards teaching you about possibilities.
