5.0

I have a fenced garden. I usually take the dogs out 3-4 times a day, including a long walk in the morning. I am a poor sleeper, so there is usually only 7 hours between the last walk in the evening and the next one in the morning. I do not have any pets of my own (yet!) but I have plenty of experience of making friends with new (borrowed) dogs.

Here’s how I would spend the day with your dog to keep them happy and engaged! We’d start with a walk, adjusting the pace and distance to match their energy level—whether it’s a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk adventure through the park. After that, I’d bring out a ball for a fun game of fetch or play tug-of-war to give them a chance to burn off some energy while we bond. To keep their mind sharp, I’d set up a game like “find the treat under the cup,” which is always a hit and a great way to engage their problem-solving skills. We could also practice some tricks—either reinforcing ones they already know or learning something new, like “high five” or “spin.” Once they’re ready to wind down, we’d relax together, cuddling on the sofa for some quiet bonding time. My goal would be to make sure your dog is not just entertained but also feels loved and cared for throughout the day!
