Right foot forward

Every dog needs to work out an acceptable waiting time for their morning walk. That is, how long are you willing to wait from being let out of your crate until you and your human are dressed and ready to leave the house.

You can't expect your humans to jump straight from bed and into their shoes, but they need to understand the sense of urgency. After all there will be dire consequences if you are late marking your local lamp posts and trees, not that you can expect your humans to understand how dog's territorial systems work.

Personally I like to give them five minutes or so, then if there is no movement towards the poop bags, my lead and the front door they sometimes need a gentle reminder. I find that helping them find their shoes can speed things up enormously.
