Sarah Hodgson explores the foundation of raising a calm, confident dog, creating a safe and secure puppyhood. She shares why puppies struggle when left to sleep alone, how their central nervous system drives behavior, and why sleep is the cornerstone of emotional balance. With simple adjustments like where your puppy rests, what comforts they have nearby, and how you support their early routines, Sarah shows how small changes can prevent anxiety, hyperactivity, and sleepless nights. Whether you’re bringing home a new puppy or looking to reset old habits, this episode will help you create the calm, happy dog every family dreams of.
