A day in the life of a sponsor dog
Meet Daisy and Tang, our fabulous sponsor dogs.
Meet Daisy
Meet our playful goofy girl Daisy! She loves a good game of chase, her toys and playing with her bigger dog friends.
Meet Tang
Our resident walking ball of fluff, Tang loves to chase tennis balls and go on walks with my favourite humans.
Sponsor dog daytime schedule
Their days vary but they would like to take you on a tour of what a generic day looks like!
8am - Breakfast time! Both Daisy and Tang have their meals in a form of enrichment, such as puzzle feeders, usually a destruction box or newspaper. This naturally provides mental stimulation for them and gets their brains and senses ready for the day ahead!
9am - Daisy normally heads out just before Tang does at around 9am, Daisy normally lets her handlers know what sort of activity she wants so will tend to guide her handlers to either the paddock or for a stroll around the centre. She loves a run around in our off lead areas and loves playing with toys.
10am - First activity of the day! Tang will make a beeline for the paddock where he likes to spend his time play with all the tennis balls!
11am - After her morning activity and a quick snooze, Daisy will head out with one of her DWAA's for some training work. Daisy has been working really hard on her settle work and spending time in the office to practice this, and she is making amazing progress with her loose lead walking too.
12pm - During the middle of the day, Daisy will either be lounging in her kennel or on our sofa looking at the sky in the compound, whilst Tang will be next door snoring away!
1pm - Lunch time! Daisy gets her lunch in a different form of enrichment, like a kong or wrapped up in a towel.
2pm - Training Time! Tang is continuing his muzzle training for close handling and is learning to become more comfortable with handling for grooming as he is such a fluffy boy!
3pm - The last activity of the day. Daisy loves to make new dog and human friends so her last activity will either be playing with a dog friend or having a cuddle with her favourite humans. Daisy is a very affectionate girl but can also be super playful and loves a run around with a dog that can match her energy!
4pm - Dinner Time! A different form of enrichment to tackle this time like a slow feeder, and will challenge the dogs enough to make them more sleepy and ready for bed time!
5pm - Bed time! Arguably their favourite time - Daisy and Tang will be fast asleep by the time we leave for the day!
What a perfect day!!
