Ep 17. Puppy Love

In season 1 episode 17 of It's Me or the Dog, titled "Puppy Love," Victoria meets a couple who are struggling with their new addition to the family - an energetic and excitable French bulldog named Cash. The couple, Kristin and Jason, are finding it hard to control Cash's behavior, and he's chewing anything he can get his teeth on and dragging Kristin around the house, causing chaos.

Victoria introduces Kristin and Jason to some new training techniques, including using a clicker to reinforce good behavior, and teaching Cash to focus on his owners instead of distractions like shiny objects or the television. Victoria also shows them how to stop Cash from barking excessively, and how to teach him to sit and stay on command.

As the episode progresses, Kristin and Jason begin to see progress in Cash's behavior. He's calmer and more obedient, and he's not chewing on things he shouldn't be. However, the real test comes when Victoria tries to get Cash to stop jumping up on Kristin when she comes home from work. Kristin is worried that she won't be able to resist giving Cash attention and fussing over him, but with Victoria's guidance, she's able to stop Cash from jumping up and reward him for behaving well.

Overall, "Puppy Love" is an episode that showcases the challenges of bringing a new puppy into the family. Through a combination of training techniques and patience, Kristin and Jason are able to turn Cash into a well-behaved and happy member of the family.
