Dogs Love Routine And Discipline
Thursday, December 16th, 2010 by Mike CronkIf you have a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, playing, brushing and quiet time, you and your pet will be happy! For example, Here is what Lizzie’s daily routine is:
5:30 a.m. Rise and shine for a 3 mile walk through the neighborhood and surrounding woods. 2 1/2 miles on the road at heel and 1/2 mile free on a path through the woods.
6:30 Breakfast – 1 1/2 cups dry food.
7:30 Off to work with me! Salon Receptionist.
12:00 Brief walk and bathroom break.
3:00 Head home and turned loose in fenced in back yard. Free play till dinner. I am usually working in the yard and throw her a ball occasionally between chores. Training during year one (sit, stay, come & heel).
6:30 p.m. Dinner 1/2 cups dry food.
7:30 Light brusing on the back deck paying attention to the ears, tail and chest. Retire to the family room till bedtime between 9:30 and 10:00.
This schedule is adhered to every day as much as possible. She loves it, anticipates it and is happy! Yes, on weekends we alter it some, which she is flexible enough to accept, but for the most part routine is best!
