Dog Sitting Instructions

• Excercise
  • Morning walk, usually about 15 minutes.
  • Late afternoon walk, usually about 30 minutes. Then feeding followed by a walk around the barn.
  • Evening walk, just around the barn.
• Feeding
  • One small and one large treat in the morning, treats are kept in plastic container in the barn.
  • Fresh water in the morning, bucket is kept near lower rear patio door, close to water faucet.
  • Food in the afternoon/evening. Dexter gets 2 1/4 plastic cups (4 1/2 real cups) and Dylan gets 2 plastic cups (4 real cups). After a barn walk, one small treat each.
• Discipline
  • The dogs know the commands sit, heel, come-here, and down. The most import is come-here.
  • Don't let them disobey any command!
  • Use shock collars just in case, but shock only in cases when dog will not return. Vibration is preferred to shocking.
  • Collars and control device are above food area.
  • Use black collar on Dylan and blue collar on Dexter. There is a switch on the control device.
  • Turn on collars first (hold button down till flashing), turn off collars when removed (hold down till light flashes off/on/off). Collars will lose charge if not turned off.
• Contacts
  • Don't hesitate to call cell phones (see food bins) in case of problems.
