Hi all, 3 and 1/2 month old puppy here and wondering if we’re doing it right!!
Puppy goes to bed @11pm, tends to sleep (with 1-2 toilet breaks during the night) until 5am ish at which point we let him on our bed where he sleeps until 8. Then toilet, breakfast, playing with him outside using flirt pole/fetch/tug. We start work @9. He usually sleeps or potters around the garden/kitchen - lots of toys everywhere. At lunch then we feed him again and few cuddles, bit of touch training/sit training. Back to work @2 and he sleeps/potters again until we finish work @5.30. Usually give him a snuffle mat/game that he needs to work to get some treats out of in the afternoon. We feed him his dinner then usually take him for a walk for 30mins @6. He tends to go wild when we get home so he zooms around the garden and we play with the flirt pole. Then he tends to settle down for the eve until bed.
Is this enough stimulation for him? He doesn’t want to walk in the morning or afternoon - lies down and won’t move but he likes his evening walk.
I know we Need to do more training to work on recall/stay/leave it. But how much? 5 mins a day- 5 mins x3 times a day?? And should each session be on the same training or a different thing each time?
