Maxie is pretty good about going to bed (NOW). The routine, is that she goes into her crate (and I admit into my bed at times) when I go to sleep at 10 ish. Sometimes she will fall asleep on the couch or keep walking into the bedroom when she is tired. Staying until 5 am was never an issue, unless she wasn't feeling well.

At 5 am WITHOUT FAIL WEEKEND OR WEEKDAY she will be up and ready to go. At first, she is now 9 months, I would walk with her and then she would sleep in her crate until about 6:30 and we would walk again and again at 8. Now she is getting a little better. It also has to do with the sunlight. It is not up at my house (Mass) until about 6:30 now. So on weekends, she stays asleep until 5 and after a quick walk will sleep until about 8 pm.

Up until recently, I was exhausted!
