How to Prepare Your Dog for a New Routine
Back to School season means a change in routine for everyone, including your dog. Here’s how you can prepare your furry friend for the new schedule.
-
Gradually Adjust Feeding Times:
If your dog’s feeding schedule will change, start adjusting it gradually a few weeks before school begins. This helps them get used to the new routine without any stress. -
Morning Exercise:
Ensure your dog gets enough exercise in the morning. A tired dog is a happy dog and less likely to get anxious when everyone leaves for school. -
Create a Safe Space:
Set up a comfortable and safe space for your dog to relax during the day. The KLIMB is perfect for this, providing a designated spot for your dog to settle down. -
Use Interactive Toys:
Keep your dog entertained with interactive toys or puzzles. This helps prevent boredom and destructive behavior while you’re away. -
Short Practice Sessions:
If your dog isn’t used to being alone, start with short practice sessions. Leave them alone for a few minutes and gradually increase the time. -
Consistent Schedule:
Dogs thrive on consistency. Try to keep feeding, walking, and playtimes consistent even with the new school routine. -
Reward Good Behavior:
Reinforce good behavior. This ensures your dog remains well-behaved even with the changes in routine.
By preparing your dog for the new routine, you can help them adjust smoothly to the Back to School season.
