   Ideas for entertaining our dog while we work? - We have a 2 year old GSD, she’s incredibly smart, easy going, and eager to please. Right now she goes to daycare during the week, this is something we’d like to stop doing for a plethora of reasons. However, my fiancé isn’t convinced that she’ll be entertained enough at home alone. I’ve tried to tell him that I don’t think she gets a lot of interaction at the daycare, they try, but she’s kept separate since she’s not spayed yet (health reasons and breeder’s contract). From what it sounds like, she enjoys spending most of her day outside rather than in the kennel, understandable. I’ve thought of the following to set up for her: 1. Once or twice a week 1hr walks during the day via Rover, I normally walk her 30 mins to 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening after work. We also use this time to train, she loves it. I figured an extra walk twice a week would be a nice way to break up her day and get extra exercise in. 2. Puzzles, we have 4 puzzles for her already. She loves them, I’ve wanted to get her a few more to rotate out different puzzles. I figured maybe setting up 3-4 around the house for her to play with wouldn’t be so bad. 3. Snuffle mats, similar to the puzzles, probably just 1 out during the day. 4. Frozen kongs, we actually have the woofsicle thing. A bit easier for her so she doesn’t get as frustrated and walk away to forget about it entirely. I figured one in the kitchen would be good. 5. Go Dogo remote training treat dispenser, thought this was interesting. A bit more randomized for her, so I figured that would be nice. I can’t think of a lot more, she enjoys hide and seek with treats, but it’s like the puzzles and kongs, she’ll forget. We already have a minor mouse problem and I don't want to encourage them more than we already have. I just don’t know if maybe higher value treats would be the key or not, or if hiding treats like that would just encourage more inappropriate rummaging in other environments. Any recommendations are welcomed!

   I would say between $125-$175. My dog’s daycare offers boarding and it’s $45 a night. Someone is always there with them, even overnight and it’s kennel free. Then they get the “play date” during the day which is just the daycare part. So, 3 dogs at $45 a night… I think there might be a slight discount for multiple dogs for boarding, but still, my boarding place would charge $120-$135 per day for 3 dogs. My vet charges $65 per dog, per night. But it also depends on your area, someone told me the rates for my area are kinda low. Check around local places and see what they charge. Be competitively priced, but be aware of what the service you are offering is worth. Personally, I would be willing to pay more to have someone stay at home with him where he is going to be more comfortable and have all his things.

   Daycares made a huge difference for my parents' dog when my brother and sister-in-law went back to work after their leave.

   So you're also house sitting. Guess it depends on if you're in a rural or urban area. If theres lots of competition or daycares/boarding around. Definitely charge more for medicating pets (like 1 pill a day is negligible but several AM and PM can get kind of up there.) just be prepared to actually medicate and chart it.

   I think it’s fine to have a dog with that schedule but you need to get a dog that would suit your lifestyle, not try to fit the dog you want into your lifestyle. There are many breeds and older dogs who would be fine to nap during the day and be ready for play and cuddles when you got home. A GSD is not one of them. I would say the one workaround would be dog daycare while you’re at work maybe, but that is expensive.
