My dude pretty well sleeps through the night well. I do free feeding with both my yorkie and lhasa apso, they do well with it and are at good weight.
I did some crate trainning when I was potty trainning and after he got trained well enough I let him roam the house. He does well with this even while I'm gone at work. Far as I can tell he sleeps during the day. They do work like clock work though. He always seems to wake up the same time. Not too much a problem, just sometimes on the weekends he won't let me sleep late as Id like. His bed is next to mine in the bedroom. He can come and go potty as he pleases or snack at night. But when he does determine that he wants you up he comes to the side of the bed, barks and jumps up w his paws on my side of the bed.
Maybe yours just need to have thier routines altered and just re adjust them more to the schedule you like.
Hope you get some relief. But kind of a funny story. :O) |
