DOGGY BOOT CAMP!!

We don’t just mind your dog, this is a holiday boot camp for them! Most dogs will have a routine each day that consists of the following: From CHAT GPT

Here’s a typical daily routine for a dog in a standard UK household. This suits most adult dogs living in a house or flat with an owner who works standard hours. Puppies, seniors, and high-energy breeds need adjustments.

Morning (6:30–9:00 am)

Wake up & toilet

  • First thing outside for a wee (and poo if needed)

  • Essential, especially in flats or homes without garden access

Morning walk (20–60 minutes)

  • Short walk for small/older dogs

  • Longer walk for working or active breeds (e.g. spaniels, collies)

  • Often includes lead walking, sniffing, and basic training

Breakfast

  • Most dogs eat once or twice daily

  • Many UK owners feed after the walk to avoid stomach upset

Settle time

  • Rest while owners get ready for work/school

  • Dogs often nap naturally after exercise

Daytime (9:00 am–4:00 pm)

Home alone period

  • Many UK dogs are left alone during work hours

  • Typical alone time: 4–6 hours (longer is not ideal)

Midday break (if possible)

  • Dog walker, neighbour, or owner visit

  • Short walk or garden toilet break

  • Particularly common in cities

Mental enrichment

  • Puzzle feeders, chew toys, or frozen Kongs left out

  • Helps prevent boredom and anxiety

Afternoon / Early Evening (4:00–7:00 pm)

Toilet break

  • Immediately on owner’s return

Main walk of the day (30–90 minutes)

  • Often the longest walk

  • Parks, fields, woods, or neighbourhood routes

  • Socialisation with other dogs is common in UK parks

Training or play

  • Short training sessions

  • Fetch, tug, or scent games at home or outdoors

Dinner

  • Many dogs eat in the early evening

  • Some owners split meals morning/evening

Evening (7:00–10:00 pm)

Family time

  • Relaxing with owners

  • Dogs often lie on beds, sofas, or dog beds nearby

Short evening toilet break

  • Especially important before bedtime

Wind-down

  • Calm environment

  • Chews or quiet interaction

Night (10:00 pm–6:30 am)

Sleep

  • Adult dogs sleep 12–14 hours total per day

  • Usually uninterrupted overnight

  • Sleeping locations vary: dog bed, crate, kitchen, or bedroom

Typical UK Variations

  • Flats: More frequent outdoor toilet trips

  • Rural homes: Longer walks, more off-lead time

  • Working dogs: Extra exercise and structured training

  • Older dogs: Shorter, gentler walks and more rest

 

Well, this is not the normal routine here at Pet Getaway, unless you want it to be of course!
Here they get constant access to some very large areas that they can wonder around in at their leisure. Then many times throughout the day, they will be greeted by usually Colleen or another member of staff, to go onto the large secure paddock and ball chase, rope pull, bark at passer by’s haha. Then at other times, they are taken onto the nearby massive fields for stimulated walk, either on or off lead (depending on how they normally go) and explore the many, many areas it offers!

If your dog is overweight or in need of more stimulation and exercise, then this is the place to be! Doggy Bootcamp!

Hopefully when you return from your holiday, they will want to come home!! haha.
