About this episode

Your puppy’s schedule will vary depending on many factors.  Including age, exercise needs, and your schedule.

When I’m asked about what a typical day looks like I know that I’m actually being asked things like:

  • “How many times should I take my puppy out?”
  • “How much exercise should my puppy get?”
  • “How much time is too much time in the crate?”

To help answer these questions and give you a place to start, in this episode, I talk about what a typical day might look like for a 10-week old puppy and how it will change as your puppy gets older.   

In this episode I talk about:

  • What your puppy’s schedule will revolve around depending on their age.
  • How exercise and enrichment vary depending on your puppy’s age.
  • How your puppy’s schedule will change as they get older.
  • Examples from clients on the daily schedules that work for them. 
  • Bedtime and wake time.

Press play and enjoy!
