How can you help a dog fall asleep?

To help a dog sleep, meet these conditions. First, give enough daytime exercise to use up energy; adult dogs need about 30 to 60 minutes daily, varying by breed and age.

Second, keep a regular routine with consistent feeding, exercise, and sleep times to build a good biological clock. Also provide a comfortable, safe sleep space away from noise and strong light.

Finally, the owner can gently massage the dog or play soft music to help it relax and fall asleep more easily.
