The Puppy Independence & Sleep Masterclass
Crate Comfort, Solo Play, and Nap Architecture
Sleep, crate and alone-time in one 20-module masterclass: the 7 PM sleep-deprivation trap, the 18-hour requirement, the 1-Up 2-Down nap architecture, the overtired diagnostic, the crate as den (bedroom anchor vs. daytime hub, divider panels and bladder math, open-door parties, every meal in the crate, frozen KONGs, two-second locks, the midnight serenade, FOMO, and the aversive traps), the playpen island, and then separation panic — departure cues, micro-absences and the pet camera. Combines The Crate Training Crash Course, The Puppy Sleep Deprivation Protocol and The Separation Anxiety Prevention Plan into one — buy this instead of all three.
About this course
A puppy who sleeps enough, loves its crate and doesn't panic when you leave is three skills that turn out to be one skill, and this masterclass teaches it start to finish. It opens with sleep: the 7 PM meltdown as exhaustion, the 18-to-20-hour requirement, and the 1-Up 2-Down architecture that makes naps automatic. It then builds the den — where the crate goes at night and by day, how to size it with a divider and bladder math, how to get voluntary entry with Hansel-and-Gretel trails, every meal in the crate, frozen KONGs, two-second locks, the boring midnight potty trip, crating while you're home so it never predicts abandonment, and the aversive mistakes that create phobias. Finally it goes to independence: the playpen island, what separation panic really is, rehearsing keys and coats, two-second micro-absences, and the pet camera that tells you the truth.
