The importance of routine with your Mini Bernedoodle

Mini Bernedoodle puppies are a lot like babies: they need a routine to help them adjust to their new home. A good schedule will help your puppy know what to expect and when, which will make it easier for him to learn the rules of your house.

Keep Things Consistent

It's important to keep your bernedoodle puppy on a consistent schedule, especially in their first few weeks of life. This will help them differentiate between play time and rest.

For example, if you want to begin the day with a morning walk, take your puppy out for this walk around the same time every morning. If you are going to be home all day, grab them after lunch and take them outside for a potty break. The more consistent these habits are, the easier it will be for your pup when they're older—and they'll naturally know what's coming next!

Schedule Meal Times

Schedule Meal Times

Meal times should be at the same time every day. Your puppy will learn to eat at a certain time, and it will help you keep track of his daily intake. Feed him the same food and in the same place every day. You should also make sure you have enough feed available for your puppy if he needs it throughout the day. This is also a good time to reinforce good behaviors. Use meal time to learn basic commands like sit.

Set Up a Routine for Going to the Bathroom

One of the first things you'll need to do is establish a routine for going to the bathroom. Because puppies can't hold it as long as adult dogs, it's important that you take them outside before they relieve themselves. If your puppy has an accident in the house, he may become afraid of being punished and may begin holding it even longer. This will lead to more accidents in the future—and more of your frustration!

To make sure this doesn't happen, be sure to take him out every hour or so on his first day home with you. For now, just encourage him when he goes outside; don't worry about training yet (we'll cover that later). But if he has an accident indoors after being taken outside ten minutes earlier, give him plenty of praise when he does go potty outdoors.

Introduce Your Puppy to the Yard

As you begin to let your puppy into the yard, take him out every hour or so. Make sure he goes potty and plays with a toy while you are outside. This will be good for both his physical and mental health. A fenced-in yard is definitely recommended as it gives them a safe place to run around and get exercise without getting lost in the neighborhood.

A good routine can help your puppy adjust to his new home.

A good routine can help your puppy adjust to his new home and make him feel safe and secure. A consistent routine also helps the puppy learn what to expect, which makes it easier to train him.

Conclusion

The key to creating a good routine for your puppy is consistency. You should follow the same schedule every day, and your dog should get used to it quickly so that he can learn what’s coming next.
