I guess we got lucky in that our Stella is not only a late sleeper but also addicted to bully sticks and everlasting treat balls. But, if she did get up at 3,4,5 in the morning I would just give the "special treats" (aka everlasting treat ball) to her and that would keep her occupied long enough for her to get tired and go back to sleep. I sometimes take her to the dog park right after dinner too (or right before it gets dark) and that helps a lot...no problems sleeping through the night after chasing a min pin or an Italian greyhound around for a half hour (she thinks she's just as fast, silly girl)!
