As the title, I have a 19 weeks pup, he is quite lovely usually except he doesn't really want to sleep during the day.

I keep seeing people talking about enforcing nap, and I really don't know how. It isn't like he will go to sleep when I tell him to.

We try putting him in the crate and sometimes it works but most of the time he'll just lie there staring at nothing instead of going to sleep or he will keep banging the crate with his paws instead of sleep.

What did I do wrong? Is there a trick to this?

We only use ours for walks, but I can’t help thinking—wouldn’t it feel like finally taking off a bra after a long day? 😂

What do you guys do?

Hey, I recently moved to LA and I miss my dogs back home! I’m offering free dog sitting, send me a message if you’re interested. Dogs must be potty trained / house trained and not too big. No cost! I can send some pictures of me with dogs so you feel more comfortable!

What the hell

So title is self explanatory, however, recently we've been giving our girl (Standard Poodle, ~35lbs) free roam privileges for a while now (going 5 months strong, no major accidents) but something we've noticed these past couple weeks is how skinny she is and how she won't eat at all for a whole day. No behavior changes, no weird irregularities, play time is normal, etc. Just her refusal to eat ANYTHING despite her food being… there.

For a bit of info; we feed her 1.5 cups of dry food both morning and night, for a total of 3 cups a day (or try to since she won't eat). What's strange is only recently we've noticed that when we put her food in her crate with the gate latched is when she'll eat – sorry – DEVOUR her food.

Have we been starving her this entire time by not recognizing this habit earlier? Is this normal behavior for pups?
