To kickstart the journey to collective adventures, here is my go-to list of ways to make sure your pawrents are proactive in keeping you as a pup happy, healthy, and involved in the daily adventures!
My Top 10 Productivity Hacks
Automated Pet Feeders: Automated pet feeders allow you to schedule your dog's meals. This saves time because you don't have to pause what you're doing to feed your dog, and consistency in meal times can aid digestion and general health for your dog.
Use Playtime as Exercise: Incorporating playtime with your dog into your exercise routine means you can multitask effectively. This dual activity saves time and ensures both you and your dog get the physical activity you need.
Interactive Toys: These toys keep your dog entertained when you need to focus. This saves you from interruptions during work, and mentally stimulating toys are beneficial for your dog's cognitive development.
Train While You Work: Training your dog to remain calm while you work reduces disruptions. This calm behavior is also beneficial for your dog's general wellbeing and can make them feel more secure in their environment.
Portable Gates or Pens: These create a safe space for your dog near your workspace, reducing distractions without isolating your dog, promoting a sense of safety and comfort.
Scheduled Vet Visits: Regular vet check-ups can catch health issues early, saving you time dealing with larger health problems down the line. Regular health care is, of course, vital for your dog's wellbeing.
Prep Meals in Advance: Like with human meal prep, preparing your dog's meals for the week saves daily time and ensures your dog gets a consistently healthy diet.
Online Shopping: Scheduled deliveries of pet supplies save you from making regular trips to the pet store, and consistent supplies ensure your dog never runs out of what they need.
Create a Dog Cleaning Station: Having everything you need in one place speeds up post-walk clean-ups, and regular cleaning is good for your dog's hygiene.
Routine and Consistency: Keeping consistent feeding, exercise, and sleep times reduces the time spent trying to settle an unsettled dog. Routines are also comforting for dogs, making them feel more secure and happy.
