Wakes up anywhere between 4.30 and 7am (due to the light mornings and noisy birds unfortunately!)
Snoozes while DH potters about/watches tv until his morning walk 8-8.30am. Breakfast.
Mooches around the house, annoys the cats, sniffs about outside until 9 or 10am when I shut him in the kitchen with a kong. I leave him for around 3 hours and he sleeps for that time
We all have lunch, more mooching about, training session while I cook then we go for an off lead sniffy walk for 30mins to an hour
By now it’s usually 2/3pm. He gets very barky in the garden as next door’s dogs are usually out around this time and they don’t get walked at all so they bark at anything.
Second kong and sleep of the day in the kitchen for another 2-3 hours.
Then DH comes home from work around 6pm. High excitement, more training and a final walk to the green for last wee/poo around 8.30pm. Bed at 10.
Does that sound like enough activity? Too much alone time or ok? He struggles to settle if I’m in the room with him, he’ll sleep but he’s always got one eye on what’s going on and will follow me if I move so I think he’s better on his own in the kitchen.

The doghouse
Does this sound like a good routine for a 9 month old? What’s your dogs routine?
