| Help! Molly has been waking up toooooo early! For about a month Molly has been waking up at 4 or 5am. To give a little bit of history, she used to go potty around 8 PM and sleep all the way until 6 AM. Now she's waking up at 4 or 5 AM wanting to eat and then potty. As soon as I feed her and take her potty she'll go back to sleep for an hour or two. How can I get her to stop doing this? I've considered putting her in her crate until 6 AM. Has anyone had any experiences with this problem? She sleeps with us and always has. |

| Do you think she may just have to potty and then settle back down. You could try the crate and see if that works maybe she wont wake if she thinks the only thing she will get is a crate stay. You could try a food snack before bed. Or maybe a Vet visit is in order just to make sure there isn't any bladder troubles is she peeing more during the day. |

| Pick up a Good set of stairs, and let Molly get up by herself if she needs to. Roxy, gets up everynight about 2 am. She does her bussiness then comes back to bed! No fuss no problems. She has been doing this since she was 7 months old. Check Amazon! |

| I have a set of foam stairs beside the bed. Cali goes and takes care of her business and I never even know when she leaves, but she gets right back in bed.

| I agree in moving things back an hour. If Piper is hungry, she's restless and pesky, but put a little something in her cute little belly and she'll zonk out, pretty much for the duration. |

| I kind of feel your pain, in my case it's usually because a family member is an early bird and my little Kimchi feels the need to make sure I get up too at times X.x Sometimes she'll let me sleep another 30min to an hour before trying again and sometimes she'll not let up. Sometimes she'll fling back my door letting all the light in (I leave it cracked for her to leave or come in to sleep in her cave bed) and bark like mad at me >_<;;; Otherwise, she'll kind of call out if she's stuck/left on the couch and wants to get down (she doesn't jump up or down the furniture). just gotta make sure to take her out to do her thing as soon as she's on the floor X_x

| I would take her outside at 9pm. Put her in her crate at night until morning then take her out as soon as you take her out of the crate. Its what i do. It works well for us.
