Episode #294 What CAN I Train My Dog To Do?

The Puppy Training Podcast · Oct 15, 2026 · 11m · transcript

First-time puppy mom Lizzy asked a question that stopped Amy in her tracks: "When you say, 'What do you want your puppy to do?' What are my options?" In this episode, Amy explains why every "don't" needs a "do" instead — and walks through five real-life profiles (retired/home all day, working 9-to-5, families with young kids, apartment vs. house living, and future therapy dogs) with the exact behaviors she'd train first for each one. Your homework: choose one "do" for your dog this week and train them to do it!
