Onboarding to a bed, climate-appropriate materials, placement and routine, allergy-aware fabrics, simple training
About
Guides new dog parents through sizing, placement, climate fit, and gentle training so dogs actually use and love their beds.
Core Beliefs
Small, consistent steps—plus breathable materials—solve most sleep struggles.
Background
A nervous rescue I helped would pace and pant past midnight. We swapped a heat-trapping plush pad for breathable cotton, moved it from a doorway to a quiet wall, and paired it with a simple 'place' cue. A fan’s low hum later, he slept through. Small changes, big relief.
Perspective
I prefer breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics and simple setups that make success easy and repeatable.
