I don’t think she has to go to the bathroom – I think she wants to get the day started. She sleeps in the bedroom right next to mine, but the trainer says she should sleep in the same room close to me so it’s den-like. I am loosing sleep over this!!! What can I do to make her sleep longer in the morning – ignore her? And, do you think it’s okay for her to sleep farther away from me so I can’t hear her waking up early? To clarify, she wakes up early whether she's in the room with me or not. Thanks. |
Having a puppy is not unlike having a baby. You are going to have to accept the fact that your going to lose sleep till it's older. I'm surprised you have such a wonderful little puppy that will actually sleep all night. Your just going to have to give up a couple hours sleep and maybe take a nap later if your exausted. Baby comes first.
