Start small

A work space can support your dog’s rest instead of asking them to stay alert all day.

There is no need to rush. A predictable, manageable step is usually more useful than trying to solve the whole situation in one day.

Try this next

Keep wires and snacks secure, set up a bed nearby, and plan a few predictable breaks.

Notice what helps your dog stay comfortable and engaged, then repeat that version before making the situation harder.

Keep it kind and practical

Keep the next step easy enough that your dog can succeed. If you are worried about safety or feel stuck, pause and ask a qualified reward-based professional for help.
