What is your dog's daily routine?

Our new dog (10months) is settling well after a month with us but not sure if I'm balancing the walks/sleep/play right so be interested to hear what your dog routine is especially those who are at home or WFH:

7am wake - toilet in the garden, breakfast and play
8am walk c.45 minutes
9-12ish sleep
12 - awake, playing, 10/15 minutes of crate or recall training at home..
12:30 - walk c. 30 minutes. 1 day a week he has a puppy class or training recall session in the park for an hour.
1:30/2pm pm Lick mat or treat toy in his crate then sleep
5pm Dinner
5:30pm walk c. 30-60 minutes
6:30-1030pm Awake and playing with DC or just bobbing around, bit of napping if we sit and watch TV.
10:45/11pm walk around the block
11pm settles to sleep on his own

He wakes a couple of times in the night and come upstairs - we take him back down & resettle on his bed or the sofa. It's taking a few attempt but early days and he's not distressed/crying & will eventually nod off so hoping this night waking will stop eventually.

At weekends it's more fluid as we might go on a long lunchtime walk or be working around kids activities.

14 months old lab.
Up at 7:30, not bothered about going out straight away- tends to cuddle on the sofa with me while I have a cup of tea!
8am out in garden for wee, then breakfast.
9-10:30 walk/ dog play date
10:30 - 1pm, playing, chew, following me about in the garden/ house
1pm licky mat
1;30 training walk ( heel etc) or a bit of scent work, or training session
Afternoon sleeping
18:00 tea
Evening - sleeps on sofa
22:30 last walk
22;45 bed ( never hear a peep )

He learnt from an early age to chill in the house. We're quite a quiet household so he's pretty relaxed.

Ours is five now - he's a beagle.

He gets up with DH at 6am, has breakfast and a wee then comes back to bed until half seven when I get up.

Then he chills with me for an hour before going for a walk (about an hour) then he goes to my in-laws while I work. He has a bit of mental enrichment there - scattered treats on the floor and a chew normally, then he either follows my FIL around or sleeps depending on his mood.

I pick him up around 1pm - sometimes he gets another walk, but often not - he has lunch and then he sleeps pretty much all day until DH gets home around 5.

He then follows us about/chills with us until he demands to go upstairs to bed at 8pm 😂 he then gets taken out around 11pm for a final wee and bedtime biscuits then he sleeps all night.

At weekends he'll sleep until 10am if we let him.
