Are you frustrated trying to balance work and home life and also figure out a schedule for your dog?

I have great news for you! Dogs need a simple regimen. Exercise, discipline, affection. In that order. Your dog needs to start out the day by getting the majority of his energy out through challenging physical and mental exercise, so a long walk is key.

After a long walk in the morning, let your dog recover for 30-45 minutes and then feed them their breakfast. Dogs receive rest, food, water, shelter and petting time as affection, and so it is most ideal to give them these things once they've earned it by a long and challenging walk.

Your dog receives the enforcement and reinforcement of household boundaries as discipline. The moment they make the wrong decision, there is a consequence, and then the moment they make the right one, there is a reward. This helps your dog sort out what is and is not allowed in terms of their behavior.

Play time and rest time are equally important throughout the day, and the most important thing to keep in mind here is that your dog knows you're the one who starts and ends both the play and rest activities.

If After your dog has been exercised physically and mentally, disciplined on the boundaries, and given affection for following along with your rules, it's a great time to go for another walk! Many times, dogs simply need more walking than we give them. When you don't know what to do next for your dog, walk them again.

Let them rest and give them their dinner. Most people skip the second walk and find that their dog has more energy around noontime the next day. This is because the morning walk only shed off the outer layer of excess energy, and they really need more than that.

Try this schedule and see if you don't experience a calmer, more eager to listen and eager to please dog than before implementing this schedule.
