YNP #061: A Typical Puppy Schedule

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!
