What time does your dog get up and what time they go to sleep...

[newme175]

This will either depress me or will make me feel less alone haha...
I've been getting up between 5/6am for over two months now, with zero lie in, weekends, bank holidays etc etc and it's starting to take its toll :(
I don't mind the normal weekdays as much but the weekends and bank holidays are a killer.
Have to get up as the pup needs the toilet and then wants feeding.

I would LOVE to get up at 7

At least he sleeps through the night now without any fuss, that's took some time as well but we got there in the end :)

Can you remove the association between getting up and being fed - i.e. always feed at 7 regardless of what time he gets up. Obviously still out for a wee when he's up. If he knows the excitement of breakfast isn't till later will be less impetus to wake you up. Tricky this time of year with light mornings tho.

She goes to sleep at midnight when lights turned out (she's on the bed) and up when we do so 715 weekdays and later at weekend
At 715 she goes outside, then back on the bed and falls back to sleep. She's currently snoring

DDog starts grumbling and moves from her bed to behind the door (making the door bang) about 5.30

She sleeps most of the day because she's 13 and lazy, but only in her basket after 11 when DH shoves her out for a last wee and sends her to bed.

I assume you don't want him in bed with you?

Our one sleeps downstairs in his cage but in the morning I get up to take him for a wee and then he is allowed to have a lie in with us in bed and it's very very cosy

Some very good advice here, thank you

Our 4yr old rescue lurcher gets up everyday between 5am and 6am without fail !!!!!
