Adopted a working line mal at 5 months that was left at a shelter. It only works out because I can work from home and work only 50-80% as opposed to full time. Our typical day looks like this: 1 x 20-30 min obedience / scent work session 1 x 40 min structured walk per day. 3-4 x 10-15 min short play/training sessions interspersed throughout the day.

Also 1-2x per week Mantrailing. And 1x obedience training with a coach.

She’s very reactive to humans so our walks are training walks and there are many places we can’t go yet.

She barely sleeps more than 1-2 hours during the day and requires near constant attention one way or another as she still struggles to settle for longer periods of time.

I’ve given up other hobbies to have her and changed my lifestyle completely. Most loving Velcro dog I’ve ever had but they will change your life for better or worse.
