The Puppy Training Podcast

If you’ve ever called your dog and they’ve completely ignored you, you’re not alone! Most of us accidentally teach our dogs that “come” means “the fun is over”… but don’t worry, we’re going to fix that! In this episode, I'll teach you how to make recall training FUN, EASY, and super REWARDING for your pup. 🚀

🔹 Why We Ruin the Word "Come" (and how to fix it!)
🔹 Common Recall Mistakes (and what to do instead)
🔹 The 10-1 Rule – A simple trick to make your dog LOVE coming to you
🔹 Fun Recall Games! 🎾 (Round Robin Recall + Hide and Seek)
🔹 Essential Training Tools – Harnesses, long lines, and high-value treats

💡 PRO TIP: Never chase your dog if they run away! Instead, run AWAY from them—most dogs will instinctively chase after you!

👉 Ready to turn your dog’s recall into a game they can’t resist? Watch the full video on YouTube @baxterandbella and try these tips out! Let us know in the comments how your training is going!

Is your dog barking non-stop, and you find yourself yelling back—only to make things worse? You're not alone! Many people make the mistake of reacting instead of understanding why their dog is barking. In this episode, I’ll break down:

✅ Why dogs bark (it’s not just to annoy you!)
✅ Why yelling doesn’t work (it might actually make barking worse!)
✅ The different types of barking (alert barking, demand barking, anxiety barking, and more)
✅ The right way to stop barking using simple, effective training techniques!

💡 Instead of yelling, learn how to understand your dog and fix barking behavior the right way. Trust me—your dog (and your ears!) will thank you!
