Amy Jensen. Right. Hello everybody. Welcome to the puppy training podcast. Today we have Molly with us,

who is one of our new puppy parents. She's been in our program for a little bit and she's getting ready to pick up her puppy. So I'm going to let her introduce herself a little bit. Molly, welcome and thanks for being here today. Yeah, thank you so much for having me. So like you said, my name is Molly. My family lives in Denver, Colorado and we are getting a sheep-a-doodle puppy. We're picking her up tomorrow.

And we are super excited.

I also have three human children.

And so we're super excited to be adding to the family and excited to work with her.

So we have wanted a dog or I have wanted a dog for a very long time.

enrichment a dog brings to your family, especially, you know, with kids and all of the things that we can do with her.

environment. I've seen it with my kids when they're having a bad day or they just need somebody
