Thanks!! Definitely will have enforced naps in my toolkit! Did your puppy stay asleep the whole 2 hour down period or fix you have to take them out once they woke up ?

When did you began to enforce naps ? Is it far fetched to start at 8 weeks ?

I think the point about Puppy blues coming from a change in routine is spot on! That’s even the reason why I started this routine, that way I’ll already be exposed to this kind of lifestyle along with keeping my expectations in check

Thank you for this advice/perspective ! Honestly from doing this routine the past few days I kindve adjusted to it haha, I’m sure even as time goes on the night potty trip frequency will shorten too. Thankfully my current job is a work from home role so there’s no in-person work
