Many dogs and puppies suffer from insufficient sleep, which can lead to various behavioral issues such as reactivity, accidents, and separation anxiety. It's crucial to ensure that dogs get enough rest, with adult dogs needing 16 to 18 hours and young puppies requiring up to 20 hours of sleep per day. Providing comfortable beds throughout the home can encourage rest, while creating a darkened space and playing soothing music can promote relaxation when leaving dogs home alone.
Additionally, maintaining calm departures and returns can help prevent separation anxiety and hyperarousal. Ultimately, prioritizing adequate rest for dogs contributes to their overall happiness, health, and good behavior.
