LESSON 1 · The Perfect Puppy Schedule
Borrow the Litter's Warmth
Until a week ago, your puppy fell asleep pressed against warm, breathing siblings. You can fake that feeling.
- Drape a blanket over three sides of the crate, leaving the side facing you open, for a cozy enclosed feel
- Tuck in a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel to stand in for a sibling's body heat
- Add a worn, unwashed t-shirt of yours so the bed carries your scent
Recreate the pack at the sensory level and a lone puppy feels a lot less alone.
