To those of you whose puppy is finally sleeping on their own / staying calm when you're out: how has your day-to-day life changed? I'm right in the thick of it at the moment, please tell me there's life on the other side 😅

My dogs are calm and well-behaved because they’ve been trained to be that way.
they have set meal times
when they need something, they ask (for example, if they come and paw at my leg, it means something’s urgent)
they go down the stairs with their collars in their mouths, as they go and get their own collars to go out. It also ensures they go down the stairs without making a huge racket.
sleeping: they each have their own spot, an armchair. There are two armchairs in the kitchen where they stay in the summer, and another two in the loft where they go in the winter.
in the car: nobody gets out until I give the command. Safety first.
I explain a lot to them, just like with a child. We work on instructions and explanations. So, when I leave without them, I tell them I’m going to the shops, or to work, or to the doctor’s… in a sentence.
And when things don’t quite go to plan—for instance, after a big change—I add some sweet basil hydrosol to their drinking water. It clears away any kind of stress.
