Just on a side note, doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. I have a dog and he always wants to go for a walk, like five times a day(I think because there is a lot of dogs in the neighborhood). I usually take him out late night too, because it is cooler in the summer but he wants to go out even at like 3 am.
I have a dog too. I have a regular schedule of taking him out 4 times a day. He’s used to that schedule so when he asks to go out beyond that it usually means he really does need it. Taking him for walks to bathroom instead of just in the yard does get me to meet the neighbors more easily though!
My dog gets used to weird things. It isn’t based on like actual times, but like random stuff that happens. Like if someone visits and then I take him out afterwards, he thinks okay now it is walk time any time anyone ever visits. Or like I brush my teeth in the morning, then I walk him, now he thinks okay you brush your teeth and its night time, time for a walk.
