Dr. Karen Overall relaxation protocol – 4 month old pup

I have a 4 month old Standard Poodle puppy. She is crate trained since she came and takes all of her naps in there. That has been great. She has been struggling to relax outside of it, which you guys told me it’s normal for puppy that young, so I wasnt that worried. I started the relaxation protocol with her a few days ago (until now i would reward her wher she went to her bed on her own and lie down etc so we had a solid “base”). Im only on day 4 but she has been choosing to lie down in her bed more and more! Until now my day was a lot of “how can i fill her awake hour and entertain her” and now we have some calm blocks. It’s maybe just 10-15 mins without a chew but i call that progress:)! Evenings are also a lot better (but granted now she is vaccinated i can take her out on a “longer” walk so she is also tired. We have been doing tethering too but i feel like the relaxation protocol is making it click. Maybe this helps someone in the trenches. Any tips are welcome too
