Welcome to Episode 100 of Your New Puppies Podcast! I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you, my amazing listeners. 

As I reflect back, I started to think about what I’ve learned and the things I believed before I became a dog trainer.  

I wanted to share some key lessons with you because unless you’ve become a dog trainer yourself, you may believe these same things.

The three lessons I talk about:

• Even if you’ve lived with dogs before, being the one in charge of their well being and training is a very different experience.
• Puppies aren’t a blank slate.
• Dogs don’t inherently get along, just because their dogs.

In celebration of 100 episodes and to thank my listeners you will receive a free gift if you join one of my digital programs.

I’m offering two special promotions for a limited time!

1. If you join my signature course, YOUR Perfect Puppy, receive a complimentary one-on-one 45 minute video session.
2. Join 14 Days to a Stronger Recall program and receive 14 Days to a Stronger Leave It free!

YOUR Perfect Puppy is my signature 4 week puppy course designed to help raise your puppy into a happy, well mannered dog. You also get 6 months inside Playtime Paws Academy which is where you get direct access to me to support you through your puppy raising journey.

14 Days to a Stronger Recall is a mini program designed to teach you the foundation you need to teach your dog to come to you every time you call in any environment.  With 14 Days to a Stronger Leave It you’ll also learn how to teach your dog not to pick up everything on your walk!

Note: Both 14 Days to a Stronger Recall and 14 Days to a Stronger Leave It are inside of YOUR Perfect Puppy.  So, if you can’t decide, joining YOUR Perfect Puppy will get you all of the above!!

Join me in this celebration as we embark on the next chapter together.

In this episode I talk about:

• How far the podcast has come.
• Why I love working with new puppy parents.
• Until we’re in it, we don’t fully understand what it’s like to raise a puppy. 
• Why who your dog becomes is a combination of nature and nurture.
• Socialization isn’t about your dog learning to love other dogs, it’s about learning how to communicate.
• Two free gifts to celebrate 100 episodes and thank you, my listeners.
