@kinda_baker, your point about prepping the night before really hits home. I found that setting out the puppy’s leash, food bowls, and even my outfit the evening prior shaves off precious minutes, making the morning feel less frantic. Plus, having a quick “puppy play session” right before bed helped tire mine out, so mornings were a bit calmer. Also, about the dog walker - if your budget allows, even just a few midday visits can be a game-changer for both your pup’s energy and your peace of mind. I was hesitant at first, but after trying it, the boost in my puppy’s mood and my own stress levels made it totally worth it. It’s like giving yourself a mini reset during the day.
