Meeting Your Puppy’s Needs
Behaviour is influenced by more than training alone.
Puppies have core biological and behavioural needs that support learning, development, and everyday behaviour.
This page brings together those core needs — including sleep, play, enrichment, and learning.
Sleep & Rest
Sleep and rest are important biological needs that support learning, regulation, and overall well-being.
Puppies need around 18–20 hours of sleep a day to grow healthy and happy. I’ll explain how short sleep cycles, naps, and natural rhythms keep your puppy’s brain and body in balance.
