I answer the following questions on today's episode:

• Why do we use food when it comes to dog training?
• What foods do I use with the dogs I train?
• What should I do if my puppy is picky and isn’t motivated by their food?
• What if my puppy gets an upset stomach and has loose stools? 

Note: I am not a veterinarian or dietary expert when it comes to dogs so please first and foremost consult your vet when determining the best diet for your puppy. I’m simply here to offer some tips and advice when it comes to the basics as well as help you see the benefits of using food in training.

In this episode, Amy teaches you why timing matters, what good timing looks like and how to improve your own timing so your dog learns more quickly.
