The rest of the week
Life
Most dogs do not fail in the training session. They fail in the eight hours you were answering email.
Life is where protocols collide with architecture. A US suburban kitchen with a dog door is not a UK third-floor flat with a lift. The learning is the same — mark the toilet, manage the unsupervised minutes, sleep the puppy enough — and the furniture is not.
This lab will cover guests, babies, other pets, cars, hotels, and the ugly middle of a work-from-home Tuesday. The published spokes so far are the two that keep households from unravelling in week one: crate nights and house training.
Children and dogs share space only with management. No page here will claim a breed “nannies” a toddler. If a child is in the house, the protocol is gates, a rest place, and an adult who is actually watching. That is not unkind. It is how you avoid a bite you will not get to retrain.
When travel and multi-dog notes publish, they will assume you are an owner, not a film set. No fake client diaries. If a setup is specific to the US or the UK, it will be labelled as such, the way the toilet page already is.
