Give that dog a bath.

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 to help you every step of the way. This is the puppy training

podcast and I'm your host, Amy Jensen. Hello and welcome to the puppy training podcast. Thank you so

much for listening today. I want to talk about how to give your dog a bath as I get

assessed fairly often by my clients. And so today I want to

share with you a few tips and tricks that we use regularly to help make this event a little more

So not only has he grown physically,

but there has been lots of mental growth as well. And we have just thoroughly enjoyed having

him in our home and part of our family. So a few things that we've been working on,

rate of our doorbell ringing or people knocking on our door. And so we've been working on that.

And when he hears the sound, his job is to jump atop his blue nine climb platform when he hears someone at the door.

And he's starting to do that a little bit better on his own.

He's not needing as much assistance from me, which is really exciting.

We're also working on allowing him more access to our home when we're not in the same room
