Hey everyone … i’m back for some advices … because i’m a bit struggling with the schedule … and i want to ask if the rule of 1 hour play and 2 of sleep can also be used on dober puppy because i tried to find a good schedule for both of us … for now our schedule looks like this :
7:00 am :
-wake up, walk outside for potty for 10-15 minutes + breakfast + leaving him to play in playden by himself (for independecy)
8:00 am -10:00 am : nap time ( a bit forced so he can used to naps)
10:00 am - 11:00 am - potty time + play time outside + 10 minutes training
11:00 am - 1:00 pm - nap time
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm - lunch + walk outside for 10-15 minutes with a bit of fun training ( sometimes 30 minutes )
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm - nap time
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm - potty and playtime
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm - a baby nap
6:00 pm - last meal from puzzle feeder ball on terrace ( it take him around 20 minutes to finish it ) + nap
8:00 - 9:00 pm - walking outside for potty for few minutes + a bit of play + last water
9:00 pm - 10:00 pm - a bit of sleep
10:00 pm - potty + 10 minutes play + night sleep
Is it too much ?

That's too much. I know it's been said, but wanted to reiterate that they can play and walk all day long! Mental stimulation is the only thing to really wear them out!

I'm not the only one?


Exactly! They will build endurance and you don't want that.

We have a cat too and we waited too long to introduce them. Somehow at the time we thought it was better to wait until Kaiser got bigger and more calmed down. Well, he definitely got bigger but not more calm! After he is mentally tired, his vibe should be less crazy and then let the cats check him out. The cats will correct him and that will make them more confident around him. Don't wait with this.

LOL, I'm surprised I'm not deaf from how much I resorted to this

We took a trainer that know also cats so can help us with both sides of socialisation…

It looks to me like all his requirements should be being met with this. It's very structured, and I think puppies do well with structure and also when the routine is the same every day, or as close to it as possible. Again, I am no professional, just raising my second Dober pup, but putting together everything that everyone has said here, it really looks like he's getting all of it.

And he sure is cute!

My opinion is that what you are doing should work very well for him, as long as it works for you, too. I think you will be successful.
