What your dog will do while at the Dog Haus or "overnight camp":
Below is just an example.
Morning: (usually about 5-5:30 am)
Dogs awake from their nightime slumber on their own bed,
Dog Haus provided bed, couch, human bed or
wherever the
pooch retired for the evening. The morning potty/backyard break
5-10 minutes. Breakfast is served.*
Mid morning:
Continue sleeping or stare at rabbits or enjoy a snack
Lunchtime: (12 noon to 1pm)
Snacktime This is either owner provided or one of the following:
-Sold Gold Jerky treats
-Fruits/vegetables
Mid afternoon:
Dogs have daily access to completely fenced in yard where they
can engage their new canine buddies in play. Usually when the
Retreivers show how playful they really are. Ideally this is the
time when they play very hard and long so that they sleep the night.
Dinner time: (5pm to 6:30 pm)
Dogs are separated for their mealtimes. Some dogs readily eat up all
their foods* (especially after building a ferocious appetite), some dogs
take longer. Dogs must be "calm" for 30 or so minutes after meal time.
Evening:( 7:30 - 10 pm)
Dogs can play inside/outside as long as they aren't overly noisy.
Last pee break at 10/11 pm usually. We may find someone waiting by the
door to go out after then (if they haven't pooped themselves out by playing all day).
* If a pet does not readily eat his food, I will make a gravy out of a teaspoonful of
Solid Gold canned or Low Fat cottage cheese or other meat. About 9 out of 10
pets will eat every morsel then. All critters in household drink filtered water.
There is a water bowl filled continuously throughout the day. They do not have
"drinking time". Dogs need to have water throughout the day.
