Schedules....
So, I know how important a routine or Schedule is to the Nihon Ken. I was wondering what your daily (M-F) Schedule is and what changes you make on the weekends or days off work?
Do you notice dramatic changes in your dogs when they get thrown off schedule?
Do you think it is hard to adjust the schedule if something changes in your life?
I think it will help people who don't have nihon ken yet, or are just starting out with a new pup to see how much time and effort we generally devote to our dogs.

Tuesday-Thursday: Wake up at 8am, let the boys out for potty. Feed and then an hour of play and training practice before I have to leave for work. Tetsu is left loose in the bedroom, Tikaani is crated due to boredom chewing and an "I can eat everything" attitude. Mid-way through the work day, one of us stops in and lets them outside for 20min. After work we take them for a walk or go to the dog park, then a little inside play after having dinner and before prepping for bed. Every other Tuesday night we take them to their pre-novice obedience class. By Thursday the boys, Tikaani especially, have a lot of pent up energy that they can get pretty annoying until we take them for a walk with some spurts of running.
Friday: Wake up at 8am, let the boys out for potty. Feed and then some play/training. Visit Tom at his job during his lunch break then a trip to the dog park for an hour or two. When we get home, the boys are sleeping while I get some cleaning done. Once Tom gets home, we go for a walk then get somethings done (cleaning, food shopping, laundry). In a few weeks, we are going to participate in CGC classes so Friday evenings will change.
Saturday-Sunday: Dog park in the morning, then lock up the boys and get some errands done for an hour or two. Take the boys out somewhere or visit Tom's parents house Saturday night. Sunday evening we stay in and watch a movie.
Monday: Mostly like Friday.
Often times their schedule does change, like this week Tom gets to work a little less (his job is on vacation shut down for a week, but Tom was able to get away with working a little to earn some extra cash) so we won't be stopping by during lunch as the boys will be out an hour later anyways. But they don't really look like their stressing too much about it
Monday Through Friday - Wake up at 6:30am. Play in the backyard, run around, play in the house. I leave for work at 7:30am and the dogs have limited free roam of the house. We close all bathroom doors and only 1 bedroom door stays open (Miso naps on the bed). Chris and I get home for lunch at 12:15pm each day and the dogs get to go outside and play and romp for 30 minutes while we eat lunch. I get home at 5:30pm and the dogs get to hang out with me or in the backyard. Chris gets home at 6:30pm. We head out for an hour walk. When we get back to the house the dogs have their choice as we now have a dog door in our screen door so we leave the door open and they can go in and out as they please.
The weekends are full of rides to the dump, walks in the park, playing in the backyard and being lazy.
I have noticed that if we don't get home for lunch the dogs have MUCH more pent up energy and go nuts all night long.
M-F:
6am: Wake up! (It seems Shira is less and less enthusiastic about getting up this early as weeks go on haha) Then out for bathroom time & Walk
6:30isham: Food and water while I pack a lunch for work/check email
6:45am: Shira goes back into her crate while I take a shower
7:15am: Shira gets into all sorts of mischief while I get ready for work/eat breakfast/pull her out from under the furniture/take random household objects out of her mouth
7:50am: Sometimes I play tug or fetch in the family room after breakfast
8:10am: Back out for potty just in case
8:20am: Momma leaves for work and Shira goes in her crate
While I'm at work Shira usually naps from 10:30am to about 3:30pm
2:00pm: If the rest of the family is away, I come home during lunch and let Shira out for food, bathroom time and a walk
5:30/6pm: Get home from work, take Shira out for bathroom time and a walk and give her food. For the rest of the evening I'll intermittently play with her/teach her things and take her out again around 8 or 9 and then again right before bed at 10-10:30
Weekends follow a similar routine but instead we get up around 8:30 or 9:30. Unless I hear excessive whimpering, which usually means she's gotta go earlier than that.
Shira might have a smaller meal at dinner time, or fewer walks if we go out visiting people/playing with doggies.
I haven't noticed changes if things aren't on schedule. I HAVE noticed that if it's rainy and we skip a walk she's got wayyyyy more energy, therefore doing Shiba 500s around the house and acting mischievous more often.
Because if we DO walk in the rain, she refuses to cross any puddle in her path, picks up her feet like she's walking on hot coals, tries to eat the raindrops as they fall in front of her nose, and SHRIEKS if she happens to forget about the fact that the ground is wet and sits to lick her butt. "...ick! What is this?! WHY is there water on me, I SPECIFICALLY avoided those puddles!?! GET IT OFF! OFF NOW! OFF!! TAKE ME INSIDE THIS IS HORRIBLE!!"
Going back to school in a few weeks is going to throw a wrench into everything related to our schedule. I hope we both survive, as Nemo is the only one who likes a consistent schedule more than I do.
5:30 Pup wakes up husband by making noises in her crate, or if she's on the bed, starts making noises on the banister. Pup lays in bed/crate.
6AM Pup wakes me up with a "ruff" (doesn't matter where she is)..I take her out for a quick pee (15/20min), come back and she eats.
6:30-play, do my internet errands as I call it (email, bank), get ready for work
7:45-8:30 walk/last call for pee/poop.
I crate if she has not pooped in the morning just to be safe, otherwise bathroom door closed/off limits.
4:20 husband back to give her a good walk
5:20 ish, dinner time for the pup, we make dinner and eat ourselves which she likes to watch/beg.
7 ish, after dinner walk (skipped if there is a huge friggin thunderstorm like last night) play, train, chill.
9:15/9:30-last walk for the night (length of this walk is usually determined by the pup).
I used to try to get home for lunch, but it would take entirely too long and I didnt want to be inconsistent with the lunch schedule. She seems to be fine though, she doesn't drink/do much when we're gone (i spy on her w/ the webcam).
Weekends:
We try to stick to the same schedule, instead of getting up at 6, maybe 6:30 or 7am, depending on how late we've slept on Friday. and during the day whenever she wants to go out.
I dread how she'll be boarded up for 12 days at the vet...starting tonight!! At least she'll get walked which is what she's used.
*edit* ah yes, and once a week, since we don't have our own yard, I like to take her somewhere where she can either run off leash or do something really rigorous, hence the agility classes.
The early mornings depend on whether the dogs sleep with us or in their crates.
If in bed with us:
5:30 - 6:30 am: Roxy scratches at the bedroom door to be let out. Tim and I lay there until one of us just can't take it anymore and gets up to let her out. Of course, if the opportunity to play is there, Ryu will go out as well.
7ish am: Roxy scratches at the back door to be let back in. Again, Tim and I lay there until one of us can't take it anymore and gets up to let them back in. They promptly crawl back into their sleeping spots.
If crated, we are relieved of the above annoyance:
9:30 am: Tim and I finally get our lazy butts up. Dogs wake up, eat and go into backyard to play while we workout/eat breakfast/shower. However, they are constantly coming in and out during this hour and half.
10:30-11 am: Dogs come back in for good when it heats up outside.
11am - 2 pm: They rotate between sleeping, playing, begging for fetch sessions while I work and Tim tries not to lose his mind.
2 pm: Mom and Dad cook and eat lunch. Dogs drool at our feet.
3 pm - 6 pm: More sleeping, playing, begging for fetch sessions.
6-8 pm: Either a walk around the neighborhood or we drive them on post for a "less stressful on Mommy because there are no stray dogs" walk.
9 pm: Mom and Dad cook and eat dinner. Dogs are usually down and out by this point and half-heartedly beg while trying to keep their eyes open.
10 pm: Dogs somehow end up in our bedroom (Ryu on our bed/Roxy on her dog bed) and we have to decide whether to crawl in bed with them or put them in their crates.
All of our days are pretty much the same. Most of the time, we forget that it's the weekend and we're supposed to be doing something FUN! And of course, we have those days where we take the dogs into town and spend the entire day spoiling them.
Or one of Jessica's dogs because she cooks really good food for them...
I think it's so interesting (and pleased) to see how many times people walk their dogs. Around here, I feel like no one ever walks their dogs

Saturday
Whenever I get up, Jazz goes out for a walk. Before I go to bed, Jazz goes for a walk. The day varies too much to pin down a schedule.
Ours is pretty much the same as everyone else, except we spend much more time chewing on things we aren't supposed to around my house. So here is an abridged version:
6:00- Mom wakes up and deals with dogs.
9:00- Dad wakes up and doesn't deal with dogs. Has to find Yogi down the street when he doesn't watch him dig out of the yard. Has to pick up paper towel roll Gufi ate and with which he has decorated the kitchen. Has to pick Miki hairs off suit after cuddling session during the time when he wasn't watching the boys.
3:30- Mom comes home and deals with dogs. Play, fetch, teach Gufi a new command, work on Miki when she greets guests, break up nasty boy snarking, walk the hounds, photograph the hounds, write about the hounds on the forum.
6:00- Mom can usually convince dad to feed them.
6:05- Mom deals with dogs.
ASAP- Mom goes to bed so she is no longer liable for anything that may or may not happen
I keed, I keed. Sometimes this is what it feels like though.
• Overnight: Both dogs are crated (We used to leave Ichiro out overnight, since he earned out trust at about 18 months, then came Akira who is now 6.5 months -- so they both are crated at night)
• 8:00 – We (barely) wake up, causing Akira to start scratching at her crate. Both she and Ichiro go for a 15 minute potty
• Between 12:30 – 1:30 – Depending on conference calls, we take Akira out to potty, about 15 minutes
• Between 3:30 – 4:30 – Both dogs go to the ‘poop lot’ – an 8 acre fenced lot across the street from us which servers as the local dog park. We spend about 45 minutes with them, allowing for lots of open play time between themselves and their friends.
• 8:00 - Akira goes out to potty, about 15 minutes
• Around 11:00 (or earlier if the Colbert Show guest is not really interesting) – Each dog gets to patrol the neighborhood alone with Daddy before heading off to sleep. This can be about 20 minutes.
The goal is to eliminate the 12:00 and 8:00 walks, so that Akira goes onto Ichiro’s schedule. This should happen once she’s a little more grown up.
Jay gets up at 5 and takes the girls out and spends some snuggle time with them. He then feeds them and takes them on a 1.5 mile walk.
I get up around 7 and take the girls to the yard for some play time.
The day is determined on if/when/and where I am working (I freelance). Sometimes we spend the day playing in the yard. Other days it is play time in an x-pen with kongs filled with peanut butter and greek yogurt. The girls are never left alone for more than four hours.
One of us is almost always home by 4.
Between 5 and 7 the girls are fed. Then taken on a 3 mile walk followed by playtime in the yard. (this happens regardless of weather).
Then snuggle couch time.
Everyone is in bed by eleven unless Jay has a show. If he has a show and we get home in late, one or both of us will sleep downstairs with the girls.
We maintain the same schedule 365 days a year. No exceptions.
5:30 am - I get up and let the pups out if they want to wake up that early. If Bella is awake, I will take her for a run with me, if not, I run by myself.
6:30 am - Get back home and wake Nola (and Bella if she is not already awake). Take pups for a walk.
7:00 am - Get back home, shower, dress, let dogs out, eat, let dogs back in.
8:10 am - Get kisses from pups and head to work.
12:35 pm - Go home for lunch let pups out, eat, let pups back in.
1:15 pm - Go back to work.
5:15 pm - Get home from work, let the pups out, change clothes.
5:30 pm - Take pups for a nice long walk. (usually an hour)
6:30 pm - I go do whatever activity I have planned for the evening (usually trail riding or trail running, neither of which the dogs are a fan of).
9:00 pm - Get home. Let dogs out, eat, let dogs in.
9:30 pm - PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY!!!
10:30 pm - Let dogs out, get ready for bed, let dogs in.
10:45 pm - Nice relaxing doggie massage. And yes, massaging two dogs at once is not as easy as you would think!
11:00 pm - Time for BED!
The weekends vary so much that I can not even begin to write down a schedule. The schedule change for the weekends usually throws the dogs off a bit, but they are usually so tired by the end of the day, that it does not even matter. Mondays are usually awesome because the pups are so tired that they do absolutely nothing ALL day!!! (and that means I can actually sleep in about 15 minutes or so, since Bella never goes on Monday's run!)
6:00a - James gets up, takes Loki and Belle out to go potty, walks Keiko (Keiko usually doesn't do anything) - dogs get morning feeding
9:00a - I get up, walk all three (about a 1/2 mile = 1.5 miles for me), pray for Keiko to decide she's going to do something... pee... poop... ANYTHING!
9:30a-3:00p - the kids and I lounge around the house, surf the internet (Keiko and Loki like to check all the celeb blogs)
3:00p - James comes home, kids go out for pee break (unless they've made it known to me before then that it was needed)
5:30p - I make dinner, kids get fed so they're not under my feet OR we go out to eat and kids get fed/crated
6:30p - All three go on another 1/2 mile walk... usually this is James' job since I'm at work
11:00p - We all sit down and watch Chelsea lately
11:30p - kids and James go to bed for the night, after a quick potty break - it Keiko hasn't gone by then she goes to her crate. Belle prefers her crate, and Loki is just too damn big to sleep in the bed!
Sometime in the middle of the night - I finally go to bed
We stick to the same routine on the weekends, James likes to get up early so he doesn't get thrown off... I like to get up late cuz I'm too much of a night owl.
We get up between 6-7, I understand that Sage is not a morning dog, so I let him snooze now. I think one piece of Sage's puzzle was our old school-year routine for getting up early getting Raye off to school and Jeff off to work and then at 8 meet all our friends at the Hayfields for two hours of walking, playing and making new friends. 350 days a year. When his natural clock says "still sleeping." I now have a policy of not insisting dogs go out for an overwhelm session during their sleepytime. Its like teenagers and how they shoudl really go to school later int he day-evening for their best brain to be ready for learning.
Reilly loves mornings. I get up and send her out for her morning pee as soon as we get up. I do insist that she go out and pee as soon as I am upright. She leaks when resting and has no idea, so I must insist she really pee at this time so I know she is empty for a while. She comes in and the humans ready for work and school. I give Reilly breakfast. Sage is not interested in breakfast, he is interested in snoozing and staying out of the hubbub.
When everyone is off, I usually take Rei on a long leash walk to town or down the hill to the lake and back, or we drive somewhere to take a hike by ourselves for an hour, or we meetup with our Pack in one of various forests for a group trek. This is usually an hour or 90 min, but we take different routes or loops and bail if it's intolerably buggy or hot, or icy. Sometimes it;s swimming, sometimes fields, forests, and seasonal excitement like baby bunnies, or snow, or really tall grass during just-before-haying. We mix it up.
Sage gets Packtime once a week now- all other outings are with just Rei and I, or just me. I know which forests and times where we wont meet anyone else, and I know when its time for him to get out with his Pack. The day varies and depends on what other stresses he is enduring in his world. He went out swimming with the pack today, and we had company yesterday, so Sage will have several days off- he may go out with the group on Wednesday. Sage ALWAYS has weekends off from going into the world. We play frisbee in the yard, play int he dig pit, and hang out on the deck.
After the Outing of the Day, or Not, we come back and comb out ticks, or dry off. If Sage seem hungry, I feed him a small amount, usually he isn't interested. At this point, I get to work drawing or logo-ing or whatever needs doing. (I do wish I had more consistent work, especially lately.) The pups chill on the couch, on the deck or in the studio with me till around 3 when things start happening. sometimes I take Rei to meet Raye at the bus if it seems like something she wants to do, but if she is sleeping or not interested, I don't go make her join me. Raye comes home from school, the cats get fed by her, the dogs become active again. we do homework, have a snack, the dogs play together and with Raye. I make supper if it isnt violin lesson day.
I feed the dogs, then we eat sometime after that, with the dogs in downs beside my chair. After supper, they get individual leash walks, primarily about pooping and peeing, but also to read the local news and take advantage of any social opportunities with neighbors. These are attention-walks, and I guess they ARE daily. We train auto check in, loose leash walking, and grooving on a connection so we really BE with each other. I never ask Sage for more than he can handle anymore, and I can see when he's getting enough. Sometimes on the way back we catch my next door neighbors having cocktails and touring their garden. Sage thinks this is great and just plants himself there and we visit.
After walks, the dogs want to wrestle or ram around outside. Jeff has father-daughter time, and I have dog time. Sometimes we play tug and fetch outside, sometimes Sage and I sit on his rock and watch the golfers go by through the woods. Sometimes the dogs prefer to wrestle in the living room. After Raye goes to bed 8- 8:30 the dogs have Team Greenies (in which we all sit together and I hold one end of the greenies so they gnaw and dont chomp, and they dont forget the greenies are a gift from me) or do FIND IT for hidden independent biscuit balls and Jeff and I have time to hang out or watch movies, cartoons and video games and the dogs hang out. Sage sometimes likes grooming after greenies. Reilly is required to go out and empty one final time before we go up to bed, Sage has the option. He is fully aware of when he needs to pee, asleep or awake.
The dogs sleep on their beds on on the floor, or under the bed, it seems to depend on the weather. And we're back to the morning again.
Micah's the schedule maker around here, we do what he says and when he says it. We try to work around that.
Mon-Thurs:
5am: Mom gets up. Mylo stays asleep on dog bed next to our bed.
5:30am: Mom says bye to sleepy dad. Mylo still asleep, or barely opening eyes. (sometimes he'll get up to the scent of peanut butter if I make PB&J in the am. It's really funny because all of a sudden I'll turn around, and he's sitting there with this drowsy look on his face like "Sleepy.. but must sit here and try to look cute on the off chance that mom might give me some.")
7:30ish: Dad wakes up and walks Mylo. Breakfast after walk, and free range of the apartment during the day
11:30am (if I happen to only have a short shift): Mom comes home and goes back to bed for a bit (sometimes snuggle times on the couch, sometimes Mylo refuses to show mom any love, and I nap on the bed). Yeah. Lazy, I know. But 5:00am and I are mortal enemies.
2:30/3:00ish (really anytime before 4:00 when everyone in my area seems to come home and take their dogs out): Mid day walk with mum. Playtime after walk followed by a DentaStick (aka crack).
9:00pm-ish: Mom (and sometimes Dad) take Mylo out for his nighttime walk. Sometimes followed by play, depending on Mylo's mood. Followed by dinner time.
Whenever I feel like it: Bedtime
Fridays: Everything the same, except morning walks are around 9:00am.
Saturdays/Sundays: Pretty much up for grabs depending on what's going on. Mostly the same as Fridays, but if we go to Kingston (about 2 hours from here via scenic route) to visit Adam's parents, Mylo goes to my parents place (because Adam's parents have a terror... I mean terrier who is off the walls. Too stressful for Mylo). My parents know the schedule =0). I love my parents.
-----I'm interested to see that so many people feed and then walk/play after. I was always told that's super dangerous because of the risk of a twisting stomach. My brother's friend just lost a 3y/o GSD that way =0(. That's why we always walk/play, and THEN eat... I try to tire him out before food so that I know he'll go lay down after.
M-F (unless I'm off) John gets up at 5:30 and takes them in the yard for peeps
I'm out of bed by 7ish.. or 7:30 when the alarm is nice to me.. and I walk the dogs for a solid 30-40 mins
They eat breakfast and I'm out to work by 8:30
I come home on lunch to let them out at 1, we play and be crazy or if its hot I eat and they get what I'm having. The Golden Girls usually keeps us company on the hot lazy days. Back to work by 2.
John gets home at 4, lets them in the yard. We all walk by 6 for a good hour, sometimes at the park, sometimes the neighborhood, sometimes to blockbuster and the market (kitsu's least favorite).
They eat by 7:30 usually
They get let out again around 10:30, then we sleep to recharge for the next cycle.
Weekends are a wild card, sometimes we don't budge until 11 and I love that I have adult dogs that are OK with that! I think they know that a hike is usually the destination on weekends so they cut us some slack. BUT - they MUST get walked 2-3 times a day, every day (or crazy play to compensate for the third walk) or we would have no cooperation and a very unpleasant household!
Unfortunately when we have him full-time he wont have much of a schedule, my shifts are intermittent and usually 7 hours long with no hope of coming back for lunch. Fortunately we have friends who plan on visiting at certain times throughout each of our shifts (Johns are 2 earlies, 2 days, 2 nights, 4 days off and mine are 8 - 3 or 130 - 8, usually). Fortunately for Tiger (not so much for me and John) we rarely work similar shifts so it's unlikely he'll be alone for more than 4 hours in the house, especially with our excited band of Dog-Checkers/Walkers.
6 to 630. Wake up, Walk the Brat, Feed the Brat. Dawn gets ready, I watch Sportscenter, Katsu Plays.
745- I leave if I'm doing Alarms
12- I leave if I'm doing Ice Cream
2- Dog Walker walks the brat
5 -Dawn Comes home
7-The Brat eats
11-12 Sleepy time.
Any time in between that we're home she's out and either playing or sleeping
On the weekends we sleep in a little bit.
Our Brat is the center of our lives. She totally owns us.
She does pretty well if her schedule is thrown off. Being laid up because of the spay is starting to get to her though. We're still limiting her activity and I can tell the pent up energy is getting to her. I can't wait till she's better and we can bring her to the dogpark so Tikaanni can beat some of the energy out of her.
I put in home security systems for Slomin's. We're still one of the only companies to do mainly hardwired security systems, so my days are usually spent in attics and crawl spaces running wires and being harrased by fiberglass and spiders.
Now in an effort to get more customers they bought 4 brand new dodge sprinters, had them wrapped in a custom vinyl design and outfitted them to be ice cream trucks. I was one of they "lucky 8" to be picked to drive the truck this summer. It's really not that bad, the hours are diffrent and it's less work. I do get to hang out with the brat in the morning and she spends less time crated up. I am getting fatter and lazier though.
I'll try to take a pic of the truck today. It really is pretty crazy, they're probably some of the nicest and most expensive Ice cream trucks in the world. There's a POS system for the icecream and a touch screen so people can enter a raffle for free oil. We also have all these strobe lights and flashers.
Quick 15 min stroll/toilet run, then some play/training, and lastly, breakfast. If she's antsy, the wife will take her out for another walk after I'm gone.
Haru is loose in the house all day, plays a bit, but usually just picks a spot to lay down and survey the house.
Haru gets a good 45min run around to the park with my wife on her bicycle at around 6pm. She usually gets dinner around 7.
I get back between 7-11pm and I take her out a bit before bed for a good 30min-1hour jog and training session.
Haru goes everywhere with us, so everything we plan is dog friendly. We even took her with us to my brother in laws wedding 2 weeks ago.
I have two days a week off, and pretty much every day off is spent in the mountains with Haru, or taking her for socialization trips.
My wife's schedule involves cooking for me, 3 cats and Haru, and cleaning up all the hair that us animals shed all day long.
Monday, Wednesday
6 am alarm goes off Koda gives quick yelp to be let out of his crate
6:05 Koda is in bed with me usually cleaning my hair, hands, arm and wanting love back
6:25 Get out of bed
6:30 Dressed in sweats and out for a walk
7:15 Breakfast while I get ready
8 am Gets dropped off at my mom's (she needs her Koda time)
My mom brings Koda everywhere during the day. It makes me crack up when I hear how many people's houses they have gone to or new dogs they had playdates with. I went to the grocery store and the fish guy was telling me how cute Koda was. lololol
5:30 pm Play with Koda in the backyard
6 Go home have dinner
8 Another walk this time for an hour
9 Koda hangs out with a bully stick
9:30 Falls asleep somewhere around the house or right outside the back door
The only real difference with Tues, Thurs, and Friday is that Koda is at home. My neighbor takes him and his dog for a walk at noon until 1pm. Koda may stay a while at his house to play with Buddy. Then he's put back in the house. As most of you know, there is no containing Koda so we restrict his entrance into bedrooms, etc. by closing the doors.
Saturday and Sunday is filled with lots of different activities, but I think Koda's favorite is sleeping in. He will usually give me a yelp at around 7 am. I let him out of his crate and he climbs right into my bed where he likes to cuddle up really close to me. He can sleep until 10:30 or 11. Lazy, lazy dog.
"6:30 -wake Jazz up
7:00 - wake Jazz up again"
