#15 Staycationing with your pup - Part 2

NEW EPISODE! Watching them sleep —legs akimbo, paws paddling — is one of the many joys of living with a puppy. Understanding how and when your puppy likes to sleep means you’ll have a happier time together.“Sleepy time” is the new “me time”. And, for 2021, bedtime routines have been predicted by trend spotters to become more luxurious than ever. So, to celebrate National Bed Month, an event which takes place throughout the entirety of March (organised by the Sleep Council to bring awareness to why a sound sleep is good for our health), we thought we’d talk about puppies and their sleeping requirements. How much sleep does a puppy need? What kind of the bed do they need? And where do you put the bed? All these questions and more are answered, when host Kate Cornish is joined by her panel of experts and a proud puppy owner.

Editor of My VIP magazine, Kate Cornish, puts anxious puppy owners’ questions to the brilliant dog behaviourist and trainer Claire North, who dishes out a plethora of perfect puppy advice. We reached out to our puppy-owning customers, members of the Pets at Home Puppy and Kitten Club and our Facebook group, The Wagging Tail, to ask them what type of questions they’d like answering when it comes to their little bundles of fluff, along with any other reassurance and guidance they’d like us to cover. And this podcast episode is the result. Why does my puppy bark at the postman?’ Why doesn’t my puppy like being patted on the head? What the heck are zoomies? Don’t worry, we have the answers and all the expert advice you need, to make your journey with your puppy a smooth and happy ride. Join the club!
