Thank you. I feel like this schedule will help us. Mollie is 3 months old (14 weeks. She sleeps 6-7 hours at night. Rings bells on door to go out. 95% housebroken!! She will sit, come to name, lie down and stay for short distances. Most training is indoors with some outside as she needs one more set of shots before we can leave the house. Sometimes we take a car ride. Love your videos.

Thanks for watching! Sounds like Mollie is doing great! Be sure to get her outside for positive exposure sessions starting now. A critical window will close around 16 weeks so we want to be sure to start exposing her to things positively so she can grow confidence for a lifetime!

I've got a 3 month old samoyed puppy, and the puppy blues are real, we are still trying to built a schedule that works for us. He behaves very good when all his needs are met, but it takes some time to get him to calm down for naps, we are working on a schedule that can make him have a calmer mood when is nap time. We are going to try this one, Thanks for the helpful advice!!

Thanks for this video. I started off well. Since that’s what I do. I start work at 6am so I’ve been getting up with the (11week old) puppy at 5, taking her out, having a play, small amount of food with training and then another 1/2 of her breakfast in a puzzle toy while I get dressed and pack the kids school lunches. She’s only happy in her pen until the food runs out, so then I take her back to bed and it’s time for me to leave for work. My husband gets the kids up and ready for school so I like her to be asleep for a while. She wakes up at 630 and my 11yo son is in charge of potty, giving her her breakfast in a lickimat and then playing with her for a little before she goes back to bed at 730 so I can take everyone to school and get some things sorted. I put music on for her for while she’s in her crate and if she isn’t really ready for sleep yet or she’s not happy going to sleep I’ll put a kong in her crate with her. But she will cry again when the kong runs out. I can’t take her out yet as she’s not fully vaccinated but next week we will be able to take your advice on seeing new areas and having new experiences. I also never thought to break it up so outside time isn’t always play time but only potty time. I didn’t think of that. My puppy loves training but I struggle to find toys she likes to play with me with. She likes soft toys mainly but with that she also likes soft things like her bed or my socks or someone’s robe. 😂 I’m trying to get her used to the times she has to be alone, because we’re pretty busy so I have her crated between 730-930am, 1030-12:30, 1:30-330 and 5:30- 7:30 but maybe to fit more in as she ages I need to stretch out both her wake and sleep windows. On the weekends I work at an animal shelter so my husband and kids are home with her. They find it a lot of work and I’m worried about them being able to do all the things while staying calm especially as she gets sillier and more defiant. I wonder if there’s a “take your dog to work” schedule I could use to have her crated at work and take her out on my breaks.

We have our puppy on a pretty good schedule. She has a crate for evenings and a large playpen for feeding and naps during the day. She gets a lot of backyard time. Unfortunately, we can't take her anywhere. No walks, no pet stores, no parks. . .nowhere. Parvo is rampant where we live so our vet has advised us to not let our pup's feet touch the ground anywhere except our backyard until she is fully vaccinated. That's months from now and she's already 3 months old. She's been to the dog park to 'sight see' out the car window. It's quite frustrating.
@HowToTrainADreamDog Жыл бұрын
You are doing a great job with the sight seeing. Try stopping in parking lots and rolling the windows down and let her smell and see things at the same time. Her sense of smell is so good, this is almost as good as her being on the ground. You can also desensitize to things at home including noises that she might encounter outside.

Our puppy is 12 weeks old he's a Chorkie, his name is Moose. He's kind of starting a schedule. It's hard and yes overwhelming. I work 4-5 days in a week so he is at home with my wife. He is slowly getting used to my work schedule, as I am usually gone from 10, 11 to 7 a couple days and 12-9:45 or 10pm one day. So this varies. He does whine and cry a bit when I go, and throughout the day as well. But he does get a lot of attention, I know he just misses his mommy, he doesn't really eat a lot when I am gone. We're currently working on that as well.

Lol There seems a be a hiccup in the schedule slides: for 2pm, you mentioned a nap after the decompression walk, drive-thru and cool down but it’s not shown. You then mentioned a potty break and Monty being up until after his 5pm dinner until about 7:30pm. Just wondering, would the nap be from around 2pm to 3:30/4pm and then he’s up until approximately 7:30pm if another nap is taken?

Then of course if she doesn't go I find her getting ready to squat inside. I pick her up and run down two flights of stairs and nothing. I even tried to get her out with my older dog who is 4 years. And while he's taking care of his business, she wants to play. Ugh!!!! What am I doing wrong? HELP!!!! Thank you Kelly.

You might need to stay out with her a little longer, or allow her to walk around and sniff. If you think she's getting too distracted and forgetting to go, then you might try to find a quieter area and stay in one spot. You have to experiment with a few different methods to find the one that works for you. If you have a patio or balcony you could also get a grassy pad for those quick potty outings.

@HowToTrainADreamDog Жыл бұрын
As puppies get older their wake windows (time between naps) get longer, and they can handle more variations in the schedule. They also tend to respond to the energy in the environment more (you are relaxing, they relax, you are active, they are active).

Dogs who are one year of age tend to only need about 14 hours of sleep each day. You can still provide appropriate activities each day, such as licking, chewing, sniffing, digging and shredding. Simply use this schedule as a rough outline and fill in the blanks with your dog's preferences as well as your ability!

My Pomeranian is just 3 months old. I have a play pen at home where he can play, sleep, potty and eat. I already did a schedule that will fit my work. Is it alright if I only allow him to go out of his play pen when he's done eating, peeing and pooping? I am afraid he will mess outside because I'm still starting to introduce the schedule to him. He has a 30mins break in the morning at 9:30am until 10am we are cuddling and playing at this time before his milk time then I bring him back to his pen for a quick nap and rest so I could also do other tasks at home. Then, 1hour break in the afternoon at 5to6pm where we bond, walk and play again after that I put him back in his pen until sleeping time. Am I doing the right thing for him or should I give more time & freedom for him to roam around the house? He's well behaved in his pen but sometimes I think he's getting bored because I'm seeing him chewing the grills in his pen, what should I do about it? Thank you.

In our first video on puppy schedules, I mentioned that some pups may still need to go out in the middle of the night while others have matured enough to be able to hold it throughout the night. The same is applicable for our 12-16 week old pups too. Since each dog grows and matures at a different pace it's hard to say if yours should be sleeping through the night or not. Only you will be able to tell based on what you're seeing in the schedule now.

I just got a 4 month old Aussiedoodle 5 days ago that was re-homed because the previous owners did not have time to spend with him. I know that he was kept in a pen the whole day by himself and have no idea where he slept at night. I have a bed for him on the floor in my bedroom and at bedtime, which is around 10:30pm, he goes right to sleep. I usually wake up around 2:30am to use the bathroom and I take him outside for a potty break. He goes right back to sleep until 6:30am. I am concerned that trying to incorporate the crate at this point would be fruitless but would gating off the laundry room for a pen be sufficient?
