Episode #293 Play as a Training Tool
from The Puppy Training Podcast Hosted by BAXTER & Bella Puppy Training
Play is more than a way to burn puppy energy — it can be one of your most effective training tools. In this episode of the Puppy Training Podcast, Amy explains how to use the games your puppy already loves to build focus, recall, impulse control, confidence, and connection. You’ll learn how to add simple start-and-finish cues without taking away the fun, plus five practical games you can try right away: chase-me recall, tug-and-trade, “find it,” hide-and-seek, and fetch with two toys. Amy also shares how to match play to your puppy’s preferences, recognize when excitement is becoming too much, and end a session while your puppy is still successful. Choose one game, pair it with one useful skill, and discover how much learning can happen when training feels like play.
