What time does your Yorkie wake you?

[AbbyMax]

Ah, the puppies! My two have been waking me up between 4-4:30 since I got them in June. They do not bark -thankfully. They get up and start whimpering a bit for my attention. If I tell them no and ignore them, they will lay down until 6-ish. I am a light sleeper and tend to start tossing and turning about 4am, so I can't really blame them for thinking it is time to get up. They have potty pads in their area (they sleep in the master bathroom) so will go potty there if they have to.

We usually play until I go to work at 7. But saturday morning are great. We get up at 4, but by 6 we are all snuggled together and napping on the couch. Ahhh, puppies.

morgan sometimes has to go out during the night but he goes right back to sleep and some nights he doesn't he does get up until we do

Levi has a heavy-duty internal alarm clock. He used to wake up at 6:30 AM every day, ready to potty and have breakfast. Then our schedule changed for awhile, and we had to get up at 5:30 AM. Now, I don't need to get up quite so early, but some little guy has decided he likes being awake at 5:30 AM.

Brandi wakes me up every night around 3:30 but not to go potty. She wakes me up because she wants me to pick her up and put her back in the bed.....little stinker. She's potty pad trained. I have steps next to the bed and she will use them to go down but expects me to pick her up so she can get back in bed. Does she have me trained or what?


I have tried ignoring her but it doesn't work. It's the funniest thing....she looks like one of those wack-a-moles. All you see is her little head going up and down. She will do this until I give in and pick her up. She will not use the steps to go up, she only uses them to go down. She perfectly capable of jumping in the bed without my assistance. She does it all the time when I'm not there.

Oh and it's the cat that wakes me up every morning. Brandi will let me sleep but the cat will walk of over my head until I get up to feed her.

My Jimmy is the same way! I try and get to sleep before 10:30, in bed by 9:45. He sleeps all night but he's been starting to get up earlier and earlier.

I used to keep him in his crate by the bed and put my phone on top of the crate (it doubled as my bedside table). My alarm went off on my phone at 6:20 and he'd get up then.
Then I started letting him on the bed at about 4.5 months old. He would sleep until my alarm went off. Then I changed my alarm a few weeks ago to go off at 6am. He'd get up once the alarm went off and walk around the bed looking over the edge.

Now he is bouncing around on the bed come 5:30am. It's OK with me, and it cracks me up because he looks like a little gazelle jumping up and over all the pillows, bodies and blankets.

Now if I can just get my GF to take him out in the morning before he wakes me so I can catch a few extra minutes of sleep!

My Hercules wakes me up lately at 12pm and at 3am how do i control this issue?

Our girls go out right before bed and they don't get up until between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m.

If my daughter is home, Roxi will start out sleeping with her. She gets up at 4 am to go potty (she uses pads) and then comes into my room and starts barking at me to put her in my bed (the stairs are in my daughter's room). Then she sleeps with me until I get up.

If my daughter is out, Roxi starts out in my bed until she hears my daughter come home. Then she goes into her bed and then ends up in my bed at 4 am.

The only time I get to sleep all night thru is when my daughter spends the night at a friend's house. Then Roxi sleeps through the night with me.

Max woke up at 5 - 5:30 as a puppy. He would wake me up with the noise of wrapping up his piddle pad.

My boys still wake up very early, but they usually don't disturb me until they see me open my eyes, unless they have go potty. Then it is about 6:30, and we go back to bed for a little while.

Geno used to be so bad during bedtime but he's gotten a lot better in the past few months. I go up to bed before my boyfriend which is between 10pm-12am. Last night I went up to bed a little after 10. Geno got groomed yesterday so he was pooped and slept all night. He does try to lay in places that I'm scared I'll knock him off the bed, so I move him a lot towards the middle of the bed. I also wake up a lot during the night so I always search where he is at on the bed, kiss him, and then go back to sleep. He gets up now whenever the last person out of bed gets up. Lazy puppy If it's really late and he wants to get up, he'll just kiss our faces haha

Oz will sleep as long as you let him. He makes it impossible to get out of bed in the morning for work! Once my b/f leaves for work, he walks over to me and climbs up on my chest, stretches right out, and crashes. If I wake him up he just gives me kisses and rolls onto his back for belly rubs. Seriously, it is really hard to get outta bed when you're faced with a cute puppy wanting belly rubs!

Wow I thought I was the only one who lived with never getting more than 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. No mater what I have tried, they eat their last meal at 9 pm and get a little snack right before I go to sleep around 11:30 -12am, Every single night Pixie wakes me up at 3 am. She doesn't want to go out she wants to eat. She will bug me for 30 minutes and then give up until 5:30. Then I get up and feed them all. The others would sleep all night if Pixie didn't get them up too. Pixie also lets me know if it is 1 minute past her3 pm and 9 pm meals and 7pm snack. I can't believe how she can know what time it is. Even if I feed them later if I am not home at 3 it doesn't throw off her schedule so I don't think she goes by her tummy clock but a human clock. lol

I am one of the lucky ones! Jersey has slept through the night from the day I got him. He is now 6 1/2 months old. I have raised puppies before but have never had this happen!

We put him out to potty between 9:30 and 10pm and then he sleeps (in his crate) until we get up at 6:30 am.

My boys don't even get up when I get up! Lazy bums sleep in until I am out of the shower and dressed and ready to leave the bedroom, THEN I lift up the covers and they look at me, yawn, stretch, burp, fart and slowly drag themselves to the edge of the bed! hahaha If I go to bed really late and sleep in really late, they don't move a muscle. The longer I sleep the longer they sleep!
