Naughty or Tired
Puppies need around 18-20 hours of sleep a day, and adult dogs need around 16 hours.
If your dog is being 'naughty', they might actually be tired if they haven't had their full amount of sleep a day. Do they wake up in the night to bark at sounds outside?
Take notes on how often your dog is sleeping and for how long to see if their naughtiness is actually because they are too tired.
Do they go to a daycare where they don't get the chance to sleep while they are there? Did they have a busy day going with you on errands and didn't get a chance to nap?

Place
Teaching your pup to lay down and relax on a designated mat is an essential skill all dogs should know. It can help keep them safe while you are cooking or at a cafe, gives them a job to do instead of jumping up at visitors, and helps them relax when you need to focus on work. It's a win-win situation!
