Hi, we got a new puppy last week (12-weeks old), and he's sleeping max 12h per day (instead of 18-20h). We are trying to have a structured day everyday, a calming routing in the evening (but lick mat, stuffed kongs or chew toys seem to excite him more than they calm him). He likes his crate but panicks whenever we close the door (it's not a small whining, it's a full distress that only stop when we open, and he keeps whining for a few minutes being released), so with the door open, we don't really manage to enforce naps. Any tips to get him to settle and nap ? I feel we're in a vicious circle where the more he gets overtired, the less he will nap. Thanks a million
