Episode #285 How Dogs Actually Learn
Why does your puppy listen perfectly in the kitchen but completely forget everything at the park? Why does repeating a cue over and over sometimes make things worse? And what does “reinforcement” actually mean?In this episode of the Puppy Training Podcast, Amy Jensen breaks down the science of how dogs learn in a simple, practical way. We’ll explore reinforcement, punishment, timing, repetition, generalization, and why “he knows it!” may not actually mean what you think it does.This is a foundational episode you’ll want to save and revisit as your puppy grows. When you understand how learning works, you can become a clearer, more effective handler—and make training easier and more successful for both you and your dog.Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!
