It seems to work, and we rarely have potty accidents if we stay on schedule.
6am - open crate/ feed 3 cups of dry puppy chow / take out on choker for potty break (she will usually go #1 and #2) She watches me feed our birds.
6:30 am - 8:am - she hangs out with the family.
8:am - 11:am or so - Go to outside kennel. ( 6 feet high, 12 feet wide, 24 feet long)
Noon-ish - she comes into the house (sometimes she goes into her kennel if there are errands to run for an hour or two.)
3:00pm : - potty break/ then hang out with the family.
5:30 - 6:00pm - Feed her 3 cups / potty break / hang out.
7:30 - 8:pm - We take her to the field across the street and let her run around. I take her 15 foot leash, take off the choker, and clip a rope tied to a small checkered ball on the end. She will chase that thing like it was a rabbit. We have alot of fun. This is usually no more than 30 minutes because Sophie tires out. One thing I love about Sophie is that she never runs from us (as have my other dogs in the past). She always stays close around.
9:pm - I take her out for her last potty break of the night (usually #1 and #2). She goes into her crate and knows it it bedtime. I have seen her go to her crate on her own by 9pm if I am behind schedule...so I am sure she understands the routine.
