Everyone here is on a schedule....we get up at around the same time every day except weekends...we go down for a nap daily from noon to around 4pm....everyone know this schedule and they expect to be crated with the crate covered with a sheet like a bird cage, from 10pm until 8am....they then get up and are with me in whatever room I happen to be busy in...never left unattended, as they are like mischevious kids and what one doesnt think of, the others will....they then go back down at around noon for nap time...they al;l know this is going to happen and they expect it....they will even go lookig for a bed if I am running late and dont get them crated at noon....they get up at 4pm and we finish the day....no when it is time to get up, they will whine to let me know I must have forgotten them under the sheet in the crate!, but they KNOW the schedule, and they go to their new owners on this schedule....they tweek the times to fit in their own schedules, and it works out great! SCHEDULES!!!! |
