| Jeter wakes up waaay to early...help!! Does anybody have any advice on getting Jeter to sleep later? He is waking up at about 5 a.m. every day. Even if I keep him up later, he still wakes at 5. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

| Jewels wakes up real early like that but she just lays in the bed and waits for us to get up. Chachi sleeps in like us.

| I guess I'm a lucky one bc Harley gets up whenever I get up. Whether it's 6am or 11am it doesn't really matter. Just so long as he had his potty break and snack before 'nite nite' he's good to go. Every once in a while he'll do a little whine thing but it only lasts about 2 seconds and goes back to sleep.

| Does Jeter sleep in a crate or with you at night? If he's in a crate, does he cry until you get him out and take him outside?

| Jeter is almost 6 months. He sleeps in a crate. When he wakes up he wimpers for a couple minutes and then barks. When I get him up and out, he does go potty and then he joins me in bed for the next hour until I get up. The vet seems to think he should be able to go longer. Thanks so much for all your input. |

| That's just how some dogs are. My family used to raise guide dogs, and most of them were up at 5:30-6:30 every morning- and let you KNOW that they were up. But we had one that would calmly hang out in his crate until you came down. |

| Loki gets up early, but if he gets up REALLY early it's just to pee and it's back to bed. Some vets seem to think all dogs are alike. Loki can't hold it more than 6 or 7 hours, even at night and he's a year old. If I do get up with him (if it's not too early) we play for a little while and he's ready for a nap within 20 mins. I don't let him nap after 7pm (well I try) and if he is up WAY too early and won't go back to sleep he has to go in his cage and not back to bed with us because he will jump off the bed and cry for me to get up. Sometimes he will snuggle and chew a bone and wait for me to wake up. Also, try doggie daycare. Not every day, just like once a week or every 2 weeks. Loki gets so worn out and is so tired for like a week after. It's awesome.

| Unfortunately, I get up every morning to go to work at 4:30. Since Roxie is used to getting up with me, on the weekends she only sleeps till 6:00-6:30, which I could consider that SLEEPING IN!

| Pebbles also wakes me up 5 a.m. sharp. Not 1 min early or 1 min late. But she is 3 months old. |
