Can anyone advise a good schedule for me?
I have a rescue dog coming up to 10 months. Collie x whippet. Had her for two months so she's still settling in. A few issues (separation anxiety and over excited on lead, working on these) but she's bright and very loving.
I'm home all day every day and she has free reign of downstairs and the garden.
Currently:
7am - up & out of crate for a wee/poo/zoom
7.05am - breakfast (in Kong)
7.20am -9am she happily naps on her bed while I have breakfast, get showered & dressed
9am - 3k outside walk & play/run in garden
10-12noon in her crate to nap/get used to settling herself; she whines.
12.05- lunch (in Kong)
12.25-6pm no set structure
6pm 3k walk
6pm-10pm no set structure
10pm bed in crate (very happily) though if she's hyper/over tired she goes in at 8pm.
I'm exhausted because I'm inputting SO much attention for 10+ hours of the day - not including 2x walks. I'm not getting anything else done. I do training every day with her for simple commands and lots of play, cuddles, enrichment activities...
Is that normal? Should she be sleeping more? Help! I'm knackered!
