Is this a weekend problem?

Because if 5:45 is your wake up time during the week, the dog don’t give a frick that it’s Saturday or Sunday.

Lol at all the people in here acting like 5:45am ain’t early .. some of us are night owls and waking up at 5:45 sounds like the ninth circle of hell.. just cause you like waking up early, dont assume everybody else does .

You seem to be a young couple. Just wait until you have kids and work problems/life problems and other things mean you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep or you get up at 4:30am naturally. I'm not that much of an early bird, but I'm awake by 6 and I get emails from my coworkers that are sent at 4:55am.

If you go to bed anywhere near 10-11pm, thus is entirety normal.

The dog is training you. Learn to be submissive.

I hope your puppy is not a hound

I have a house full of rescue hounds. I am immune to barking at this point. At least one learned to play the piano so it turns into a sing along and they all like beer!

You’ve probably conditioned her by letting her wake you up at 5:45am as well. If she is rewarded by you getting up and taking her out then it’ll continue to happen.


I have a similar issue too with my German Shepherd.

She will wake me up around 5 or 5:45, but my alarm is going off around the same time so she know its time to put my arse in gear and get up to let her do her business.

Putting your dog in a crate does not equal being crate trained.

They are all spayed or neutered so none are engaging in sexual relations

If you find this disgusting, perhaps you should get neutered and not spawn.

I guess fostering kids is disgusting to you as well?

Hounds stink. They have a natural, ingrained odor. They also shed, excrete oils thru their skin and are loaded with nasty bacteria. I can't imagine how filthy your house is with a "house full" of hound dogs.

I have worked with people like that, they are the scum of the Earth…. Seriously, you know they are only emialing you at that time to prove a point, to “show off” even though they are showing themselves to be jackasses.. also fwiw there are also email settings that allow you to write an email and then schedule it to be sent at a certain time later, so they may not even be awake at 4:55am when you get that email, they might actually be sleeping til 8:30 .

Sounds as if she has got you trained. Not the other way around.

Sunrise is 6:05. The dog sees the daylight. It is ready to roll.

huh? 5am is not some super early time. Who gives a shite when people send email?

I was in sales a long time. You got 5-6 every morning prior to 7am. I liked em early.

I work w a group now that seems to not get to work till 3pm. They fire shite off at 4 all week. Screw that. 8 am trying to be done at 3

Are you an Auburn alum?

My vet is and he loves that I am so good with my hounds. Several came to me near death and now healthy and happy (some took months to recover)

They can get ripe, but only if you let them. Once a month usually gets it done but more often if is called for with excessive rain.

quote:

They also shed


Yes they do, but they invented something called a vacuum cleaner to fix that issue.

quote:

excrete oils thru their skin


Have a person who does their anal glands so not sure if this solves the problem but I do not notice.

quote:

loaded with nasty bacteria.


What isn't? Not like I have a house full of Komodo Dragons


Things you did not address tho ...

They are hardheaded (but smart)
They slobber
They are the poster child at vet schools for over eating
They need to run (not fit for apartment living)


I guess you have a cat.





At least I have no worry of having you live in my hood. Pretty much all my neighbors have mid size and large dogs (no foo foo's) and most have more than 1.

I have 3 kids under 8 and until recently had been waking up from 3-5 because of my dad passing and running my own business on top of other life stresses. I have a dog problem, not a life problem. I’ve been through the up all night crap with the kids and have finally gotten used to sleeping normal again.

We are just trying to figure out how to get my dumbass dog to stop waking up early.
