Rant: the mail carrier told me to stop walking my dog at 6am, and my dog has never slept better
My mail carrier Denise stopped me about 2 weeks ago and said my dog Rufus looked wired every morning because 6am walks were hyping him up instead of tiring him out. I thought she was crazy, but she's had three labs and swore by walking them after their breakfast at 8. I tried it for 5 days and Rufus stopped the 4pm zoomies and actually naps now. Also I'm not getting side eye from the guy who opens the coffee place on 5th anymore because Rufus quit barking at his sandwich board. The other thing Denise told me: keep the route boring in the morning and save the park for after work. Anyone else switch their walk time and see a real change in their dog?

The boring route part is huge. I started doing the same loop every morning, same houses, same fire hydrant, and my dog stopped pulling like a maniac. Save the new smells for the evening walk and they actually get worn out instead of over wired.
