Dogs add a lot to our lives, but they may take some of it back each morning when we are trying to get ready to go to work. Often, dogs make it even harder than it would otherwise be to get to work on time. There are oh-so-many ways that dogs regularly interfere with their guardian’s good intentions to be punctual. Do any of the following scenarios seem familiar to you?
He messed with your sleep by hogging the bed and the covers or by bumping into you as he was dreaming. You end up oversleeping.
You take him out for his walk and he just won’t poop, causing you to make the walk longer than your schedule can accommodate.
He won’t take his medication, and you absolutely have to get it in him before your leave.
You have trouble getting your dog into the crate. The resistance means that this is more time consuming than you had figured it would be. (Corollary—the dog is hiding to avoid being put in the crate.)
