My son's dog has made a strict schedule that she tries her best to make us stick to. The humans in the house do not always cooperate with her but she tries.
She takes naps in the afternoon with son. When the time comes for a quick sleep she starts trying to get her bunkmate to get on the ball and go to his room. If he keeps ignoring her she tries to go to bed on her own. She knows to close the door when in there. The problem is that she cannot open the door and needs to be rescued.
In the morning she waits for me to come out of my room. I give her doggie treats then.
Meal times are supposed to be on her schedule. If my son does not feed her at the right time she bothers him until her meal is set in front of her.
.At 8 o'clock every evening we have an ice cream treat. We buy doggie ice cream for her. At precisely 8 o'clock she leads my son to the kitchen. Then she stands patiently in front of the freezer. When he gives her the little cup of ice cream she takes the edge of the cardboard cup and trots into the living room. There she eats her treat while we have an ice cream bar. It is a family treat time.
Then she asks to be let out for the last time of the day. She goes out and does what dogs normally do. And she barks and barks and barks. It is her special time.
Does your pet rule the house too?
