Create a calm daily rhythm around rest, bedtime and settling.
Young puppies need frequent opportunities to rest, and tiredness can look like extra biting, zooming or difficulty settling. A predictable rhythm helps you notice when activity has gone on too long. The aim is not a rigid timetable but a repeatable pattern of activity, toilet opportunities, food and protected rest.
Provide a calm, safe sleep area with fewer competing distractions.
Plan rest after stimulating play, training and new experiences.
If restlessness is persistent or accompanied by signs of pain or illness, contact a veterinary professional.
