That's pretty much the schedule Ceiba follows and it seems to be working out very well for us (Ceiba, too!). Our schedule is slighty different (Ceiba and hubby are up at 5:30am) and we also give dinner anywhere from 5:30pm - 6pm. She plays from 6:30pm til about 8:30pm or 9pm then it's BEDTIME! But for the most part, that is the routine we follow (including the mid day potty break and play time). We know when she has to potty (so does she - she basically goes on command!) and we know that she won't have accidents indoors. We've had her almost 6wks (she's 14wks now) and she hasn't had an accident in at least 2-3 weeks. It's great! :) |
Yikes. I guess I am doing something wrong with my zoo. LOL. We wake and everyone goes outside. My Yorkie, Bijou makes a mad dash for her pee pad in the bathroom. Then it's a 50/50 chance if she will go there again, go outside or pee where her wee pad used to be (in the kitchen). The rest of my zoo does pretty good. The bigger dogs spend a lot of time outside so that isn't really a problem. |
romeo is not on on right now but will be. i have learned with two boys that schedules are nice to look at on paper but real life takes over! ;) he knows what to do and where and i am happy about that. we will work on specifics soon. |
It looks like a good schedule, but were in bed by 9pm. I read that a feeding schedule is better than free feeding which I do. They tend to eat their kibbles better that way. Always having them down tend to make them more finicky. Mine are very picky because I have their kibbles down all the time. I think I'm going to try a feeding schedule, I just hope it's not to late. |
