LESSON 4 · The Perfect Puppy Schedule
The Management Mindset
Training happens in focused sessions. The other twenty-three hours of the day require management — systems that keep your dog calm and out of trouble without your active participation.

The biggest mistake busy owners make is giving the dog full house access while distracted. A bored dog with unlimited freedom will find entertainment in your couch cushions and garbage. Small, managed spaces prevent destruction without requiring your constant attention.
