Exercise Routine

Just wondering if I could get some opinions on Louis' exercise routine and if anyone feels it could/should be improved as I want the best for my boy. He is 8 months now and due to us working full time I want to make sure he has enough exercise to be left alone during these hours.

Monday: 45mins walk in the morning, me and my OH leave for work at 8am. OH is home for lunch 12-1 and OH is home from work at 4. Then Louis gets an hour walk.

Tuesday: As Monday

Wednesday: As Monday + starting next week a dog walker will take him out for at least 2/3 hours (this will increase to 2 days a week once another space becomes available)

Thursday: As Monday

Friday: 45mins walk in the morning, me and my OH leave for work at 8am. OH works a shorter day so is home at 2. Then Louis gets an hour walk and obedience training 8-10pm

Saturday - he has a long walk, about 2 hours, around lunchtime and a short walk before bed.

Sunday - Same as above with a visit to his grandmas so has extra play and runs around her garden like he's possessed.

Won’t be offended by anyone’s opinions if they feel I should change anything. broken heart

leaving him to go to work but i don't have any choice, bills to be paid and all that.

Thanks in advance everybody

Thanks very much for taking the time to read the long post and to reply!

Makes me feel much less guilty about leaving him now that i know he's definately getting enough exercise.

I have a friend visiting this weekend with her dog so he'll have a play mate all weekend. So Louis (and no doubt me) will be very tired come Monday.
