I only have one dog so in terms of basic things to do, it does not really take much of a time. It takes about 10 minutes to bathe him, about 20 minutes to clean his house, and then 10 minutes to prepare his food. However, I spend a lot of time playing with him and I walk him a lot. This helps us form our bonding. He is much like a friend. Also, I noticed that the more time I spend with him, the more he becomes used to people and is more friendly when friends come to visit. He looks more active as well, compared to when I just live him in the playpen alone. Dogs are very social animals and you need to make them feel that they are given enough attention and that you really interact with them.
