The routine that will take place is the same I use for my own two boxers. At about 9:00am I will take them out for their first break. Most often they are not really needing to go and still a little sleepy, but I like getting them up and out early so they can wake up start their day when I start mine. Which works out great cause they end up being on the same sleep schedule as me. From there I will feed them and relax with them for a couple hours until it warms up outside. When it does I will take them to the dog park for a couple hours and play. After which I feed them play it by ear as far as if they want to go back to the dog park or need to go out. With teaching 5 days a week, I can only provide my services starting after 3:30. If you did want your pet to stay during the week I would still be able to take them out mid-day during my lunch/plan and let them play so they would not be cooped up in their cage all day. At the same time though all my weekends are free!
