Anything that you think would make your pup’s time away from you easier. Some expanses are: Knowing the dogs personality, and how they handle other dogs as well as people is important. Knowing the individual confidence or the dog helps as well. Is the dog potty trained (if your in the process of training that let me know how you are going about it so that I can follow that to the best of my ability and not hinder training). Does your pup share resources/water/food? Does he/she have separation anxiety? Any treats that are a no go.

Currently, my dog has a 30 minutes or longer morning play. Then we come in and have breakfast. This is given either by bowl feeding or I hand feed while training (depends on how much time I have that morning). Then I work on his place/stay training while I make breakfast for myself. He usually falls asleep for a nap during that. Then we have a shorter lunch dog park break or walk (depends on the temperature since he is a German Shepherd). If the weather does not allow that then we either just go outside anyways or do some fun training inside to help him out his energy someplace. When it’s not summer we take another long dog park time at 5, but it has been too hot to do that now so it is usually pushed back to 9 or so. Which is followed with dinner training. There may be potty breaks between that. I let him out whenever he is needed.
