Creating a Morning Routine with Your Dog 

Planning a morning routine with your four-legged friend will ensure that your day is off to a great start. The best thing about creating a habit is that you can be as flexible as possible, doing the things that work out best for you and your dog! Below are some ideas on what you can add to your routine.

Set that alarm. We recommend that you start your morning at the same time each day. Set the alarm to wake both you and your dog up simultaneously, even on the weekends. Sometimes your dog may be your alarm and wake you up when it’s time!

Meet some friends. We all know that it is essential for humans to socialize. Do not forget that dogs need socialization as well! Head out to your local dog park and let your dog hang out with some of their best friends. This will ensure that they get the mental and physical stimulation they need.

Work out. Take your four-legged friend on a walk around the neighborhood! Switch up your walking routine by visiting different places each day. This will be exciting for your dog because they will get to see new sights and smell new territory.

It’s breakfast time. At this point, you have made it back home after all of the excitement. It is now time for breakfast! Create a bonding experience while eating breakfast with your four-legged friend.

You should notice that you feel more energized after following a daily morning routine with your dog. Getting outside early in the morning will ensure that you start your day on the right foot (or paw for your dog!). Continue with the morning routine as the days go by. Do not be afraid to switch things around. A variety can be a good thing!
