Did you know that January is National Train Your Dog Month? At Pat’s Pack, we celebrate our furry best friends every month of the year, and this January, we're embracing the opportunity to highlight the importance of schedules and routines in your dog's training journey!

As we welcome the new beginnings of 2024, creating new schedules and routines becomes an essential part of achieving the variety of goals we set for the year. Your pups thrive on routine just as much as we do, too! Establishing a consistent schedule for your furry friend is key to their overall physical and mental well-being, guiding you both towards successful training in 2024!

Here’s a breakdown of an ideal daily routine for your pup:

🌙 Sleeping: Just like we feel refreshed after a regular 8 hours of sleep, our pups benefit from a consistent sleep schedule. It also helps them recognize when it's time to settle down for the night!

🍽 Eating: Setting your pup on an eating schedule not only supports their health and nutritional intake but also allows you to spot any health changes or issues that may arise.

🐾 Training: Regular training provides excellent mental stimulation for pups. Incorporating it into your pup's routine enhances their progress the more time you invest in it.

🐕 Exercise: Daily physical activity is essential for your pup's well-being. Integrating exercise into your daily schedule keeps your furry friend happy, healthy, and ready for regular naps!

❤️ Quality Time: Strengthen your bond with your pup by setting aside dedicated quality time every day, including cuddles, loving pats, and play time!

While your routine with your pup is personalized to fit your schedule, including these essential parts will not only reduce stress for your dog but also prepare them for mental and physical growth!

Cheers to January!
