I have 5 GSPs, of which 4 are mine: Riley, Blue, Vegas, and Memphis.  Riley is retired at 13 years old, so we won't tell his story.  I also have 1 foster dog, Zola.  Here's a breakdown of my dogs' schedule.

Saturday - Agility!

• The dogs wake up for a quick potty outside in the yard and a joyful dash around the fence perimeter chasing birds, squirrels, bugs...anything fast moving and/or shiny. 
• Breakfast:
  • Vegas gets a handful of kibble to tide him over until agility practice. 
    
    • If we're feeling motivated, I put it in a bowl in the middle of the kitchen and we do a little work heeling around the bowl (this lasts maybe 15-45 seconds depending on how successful he is) - releasing to the bowl when he's done a good job. 
    • If we're not motivated, he does some drop on recall pratice with bits of kibble thrown at him when he's a good boy. 
    • Or we may do competitive downs - whoever downs the fastest (Blue or Vegas) gets the kibble.  You snooze, you lose on this one. 
  • Memphis and Zola get a handful of kibble tossed in their respective crates after the morning potty run to tide them over until class.
  • Blue gets his regular meal in his favorite toy (Nina Ottosson's Pyramid - I highly recommend it as a medium-hard interactive toy.)  This is the last thing I do before leaving the house with Memphis and Vegas.  He's happily batting around his toy as we head off for a fabulous car ride.
  Car Ride!  Vegas and Memphis load up for a trip to the agility field.  My dogs LOVE car rides!
• Memphis has class first - he's in Baby Intermediate agility at our club.  That's basically just past obstacle introduction and beginning to sequence obstacles.
  • Memphis tries to run madly in the agility field; I try with equal fervor to keep his attention focused on me and just allow him to run wildly in short spurts in between the obstacles.   
  • Memphis gets to practice some basic rally moves in between turns - yay! Fun focus :)
  • Memphis gets breakfast and extra yummy treats for all of the above most excellent work.
• Vegas has class next,
  
  • but Memphis has to be entertained, so he gets a stuffed Kong or stuffed Squash (love these! from Ruffwear) while he waits in his crate for Vegas' class to finish.
  • Vegas tries really hard and invariably proves that he is much smarter and better at agility than his person is...as he does every week with embarassing consistency. 
  • After class, Vegas and Memphis run around for 5 minutes or so in the great big fenced field surrounding the agility field.  We pratice catch & release recalls. 
• Car Ride!  Vegas and Memphis go back to the house and Zola heads to the agility field.  Blue may come with to use as a motivator dog - that's just the dog who gets to play when the one you're training decides they're having more fun doing other stuff.  Works great :) 
• Zola has beginner agility class (thank you K9 Xpress for donating!)
  • Zola tries really, really hard to pay attention...but there are dogs playing out in the field and it would be really great fun to join them.
  • Zola regroups, makes a supreme effort and manages to participate in class, have great fun running through the tunnel, and mind not at all that she gets bunches and bunches of yummy cookies when she hangs out on the contact obstacles.  We even practice a bit of basic obedience in between the agility fun.
• Car Ride!  Zola heads back to the house. 
• All the dogs get a fun chew - antler, stuffed bone, stuffed ball - and I get a much needed doggy break :) 
• All the dogs get dinner in their favorite toys and a potty break or 2 before bed.  Zola practices sitting to go outside or come inside and polite releases from the crate. 
• Then we do the doggie bedtime shuffle:
  • Memphis in his crate in my bedroom.
  • Zola in her crate in the dog room.
  • Riley is his crate in the garage.
  • Blue works on the distance down command - then gets released to the bed.  Unless we do down races and Vegas wins.
  • Vegas has to do a trick (maybe front or a distance down), then he joins on the bed.
  • I squish the 2 dogs over and we all crash after a very tiring day.

Sunday - Hanging Out

• Mad morning dash to potty, then all back to bed for a little more sleep. 
• Memphis goes back in his crate to eat breakfast out of his green Everlast ball.  Blue gets his favorite pyramid toy or 2 XL stuffed Kongs, Vegas gets the same, and Zola gets her Kong Wobbler toy.  I hang out and drink coffee completely undisturbed by spotty dogs.
• Blue gets to run errands with me and usually meet friends for lunch at a dog-friendly outdoor patio.  Blue works on his pet manners, which are in need of some polish.
• Last weekend - Zola came with and stayed in the car while we ate.  Then she came out for a little walk around Tomlinson's and some fun videoing of her newly learned skills.  See Zola's Greeting a Friendly Stranger YouTube video!
• Once or twice a month, Blue and/or Memphis get to go tracking - with our schedule freeing up a bit we're hoping to track weekly.  See Texas GSP Rescue's FaceBook page for pictures of Memphis tracking. 
• If I run errands in the evening and it's not too hot, I bring whichever dog appears the most neglected along for the ride.  Vegas always claims to be most neglected, but sometimes Blue or Memphis win.  Car rides are great!
• Everyone has a quiet evening with some good chews andI may or may not go to a friend's house bringing 1 pooch with me.

Sometimes I compete on the weekends, sometimes I teach seminars.  On these weekends, the dogs are even more the focus of unfolding events. 

Weekdays

During the week, I rely on interactive toys, intermittent training sessions, and training classes (whether a class we take or my dogs acting as demo dogs for class I teach) to make up for the fact that I'm away from home much more than on the weekends.  Everyone practices Being on Their Best Behavior until the weekend rolls around again.  Every dog gets 1 evening out at a training event during the week on a rotating basis, except Zola.  So Zola sometimes gets to ride in the car for quick errands - even if it's to the corner store to get toilet paper :)  Zola thinks that's an excellent adventure: leashing up, walking to the car, loading in the crate, waiting in expectation to arrive at some wondrous end destination...arriving and not getting out of the car, returning to the house.  Somehow, this proves to be a most excellent adventure for all of my dogs.  Car Ride!
