Walks should help. Taking your dog on a walk will make them tired and relaxed. I typically take my dog on a walk before I go to bed and she is usually pretty tired.
Also, try not to stress your dog out. If you are a loud person or make loud noises, tuning down the noises could help them relax more.
Teach her to lie down on command. When you want her to settle, put her on her sleeping spot and quietly give her the down command. If she messes about she has to go to a bed on the floor.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
