Sometimes it seems like the list of distractions is never-ending. Whether it’s the kids interrupting zoom calls or the growing mountain of laundry, there is just always something begging for your attention. Not to mention that cute and fluffy ball of fur that is quite literally begging for that oh-so-precious attention. Kathy Santo is an incredibly talented dog trainer and has been instrumental to our family and helped Goose grow into the wonderful and well-behaved puppy he is! Seriously, her training has been life-changing, and the results had me begging for her to be a part of the podcast so you all could experience some of her magic. Today, she’s sharing how to pick the best puppy for your home and lifestyle and what the heck to do with him or her when you get them home. I ask her some of the burning questions you’ve probably been wondering, such as preventing dogs from barking whenever someone comes to the front door and how to share a workspace with a needy puppy. I think we all deserve a treat once in a while, and I hope this episode is one for you.Be sure to tune in!Key TakeawaysOur new dog, Goose (03:25)How Kathy found her love for dog training (06:50)How to choose the right dog for your family (10:35)Kathy’s test for choosing a puppy from a litter (14:37)How do we control our puppy once he or she is home (17:25)My puppy cries in the crate...what now!?
