Has anyone successfully got their dog to stay in bed longer?
My nine month old pup happily sleeps in a large covered crate in a very comfy bed. However, she gets up at 6-6.15 every morning and I'd prefer her to stay a bit longer.
The crate is covered so no daylight making a difference. No boilers or anything starting up, no traffic noise. She isn't desperate for the loo as I open the back door and she doesn't even go out. I've tried giving her evening meal later, keeping her more active in the evenings, giving her a snack before bed, all make no odds. Nothing is going on to make her get up. She barks intermittently until I come down (I don't feed her until after 7am)
Any ideas? Previous dogs have just happily stayed put until I get up, I'm not a late sleeper anyway so it's not the end of the world but I'd prefer not to be dictated to 😂
