Just like many humans, dogs do well with a schedule. Waking up and going outside at the same time each day helps lessen indoor accidents. An established mealtime can regulate a dog’s hunger, while a daily nap can keep both pooch and owner feeling good. This doesn’t mean that it’s up to you to tell your dog when he can nap, but it just illustrates the importance of a schedule. We all know how we feel the next day after staying up later than usual the night before.
