WFH with 19 week old puppy

[PoochMama]

I have my own business and have lots of flexibility. Currently, I work in the office 1 day a week and the rest of the time from home. However, I'm finding it pretty tough going as pup won't self-settle and can only entertain herself v v intermittently. She is so-so about chews - and I've tried lots of them. If I let her out into the garden, she's barking or digging holes. I'm primarily getting work done during her crate naps right now.

She'll soon be starting doggy daycare for a morning a week to begin with.

She can't do long walks right now (20 mins or so, twice a day) - so I'm reliant on playing and mental games to tire her out!

Any advice, please?

Off lead walks and sniffy on lead walks. We used to fill a cardboard box with newspaper with small treats wrapped in and egg boxes and let her snuffle round. 10 minutes basic training would tire her out to, sit, stay etc. Also a snuffle mat. But I’d take her out more short sniffy walks to see stuff and meet people. Also try and teach settle, they are at their worst when tired. It does pass!
