A Typical Day
A typical day with us begins a bit early around 7.
We first let our pups outside in intervals, either alone or with their pup-siblings- This is to ensure that everyone “does their business” undistracted.
After morning potty we rotate breakfast/play time, one group will play or relax and I begin feeding and giving necessary medications. It is our standard, that when we have more than one group, we feed separately, in crates if necessary.
We have at least 45 minutes of chill time after each feed, this has just become standard as bloat can affect any dog, regardless breed or size.
After our down time we begin rotating, separately sectioned or group play (group play if all the stars align and everyone plays well together consistently- We call these our Unicorn groups).
Around 12-1:00 we have begun to implement “Nap Hour” where we turn down the blinds, turn on our fans and have all the dogs cool down and rest. We really began this when our youngest had nap time but we really found that the dogs really enjoy it.
After our cool down hour, we rotate play and hanging out all day until dinner time.
We start wind down the pups around 8:30 letting them out for a night time stroll and potty until we turn on our “Bedtime Music for Dogs” on youtube and have a good nights sleep.
We never leave our pups outside unattended, when we are not home, or overnight.
