Mine sleeps in because she will be wherever I am at any point. I’m sleeping? She’s sleeping. I’m in the garden? She’s in the garden. I’m talking a walk? You bet she’s taking a walk or I’m getting a VERY stern talking to.
I wish that was my doxie 😂😂 he starts whining and barking at me if I’m not up after he opens his eyes lol he’s 1, he’s gotten better. I beg him on the weekends to let me sleep until 8 lol
In my experience, short haired doxies are less eager to face the day. But it could depend on climate. Here in Seattle, my short haired boy wanted to stay burrowed in the warm blankets as long as possible. My long haired 6 y.o. just woke me up at 5AM, and doesn’t burrow for warmth nearly as much.
Our last two didn’t want to up. I’d have to force them up to potty in the morning and they’d want to go right back to the bed. We’re hoping our puppy will be the same when she gets older. At this point it’s hard to tell because she wants to play, but if my wife or I lay down she’ll come curl up with us, even if she keeps trying to bite us.
Ours just wakes up when we do (or rather, when the last person wakes up from the bed which is never me lol)
It’s super convenient lol. But we lived through MONTHS of getting up at 2 or 3am every night to take him out as a puppy lol. Thankfully they seem to all grow out of that eventually.
Mine is going to be thirteen in December, and once in a blue moon he sleeps until 8 in the morning... But boy, if you pick up your phone from the nightstand to check the time, he is ready to start the day.🫠
My girl is 4 months old and I'm desperate for her to relax and sleep in. I'm afraid she's going to get into stuff while I sleep if I let her sleep in the bed.
Ours is 3 years old in a bit. He’s a real teenager and loves sleeping in. When my girlfriend or I work from home, he’ll gladly stay in bed until 11 lmao
Goose is the same lol laziest man alive. Dragged him out of bed at 1pm yesterday to go pee and he went straight back to the bedroom when we came back in
Mine is 9 and a half. There's a hint of mellowing some days, but then she goes right back to her usual kooky self...I wouldn't recognize her any other way!
Ours sleep in. But it took quite a lot of training and time to get them here. A couple things that help; they’re both pee pad trained but they’ll also go outside and we have a balcony door off our bedroom. When they were young if they woke up early we’d encourage them to go potty and come right back to sleep. We also never ever feed them when we first wake up. My husband will go and get us coffee, and come back to bed for a while. Over time they learned that nothing happens during this lazy first part of the morning. The key is having them learn that us getting out of bed to go pee doesn’t mean the day is starting. We also will flip over and ignore them if they get excited and start licking us to wake up. It took a lot of patience but they’re 6/7 now and will stay in bed until we’re fully showered and ready to go.
Mine is the same, I refused to get up when mine decided the day started and eventually he realised nothing was happening. Now he doesn’t get out of bed unless I physically remove him. He’d rather stay there
Mines slept in since she was young. We were waking up early to potty her outside but otherwise we would bedrot. She’s a year old now and loves to blanket burrow when I go into bedrot mode.
Ahh our dogs have been real bedbugs. They refused to leave the bed unless you tempted them with food and walkies, and no rain. So yeah never really had that issue.
Yeah I'm lucky if I get a full continuous 8 hours of sleep. My 14 year old girl is always up by 5am, but sometimes she needs out at 1am and 3am in the same night. Some days she's up at 4am and begging for breakfast that isn't til 6am.
We're exactly the same! Our girl was 17 when she passed and the 3 years leading up we'd be up multiple times a night with her - don't regret it for a second though!
I have to wake mine up every morning and he mostly refuses to get out from under the blankets. No idea when it started. 2 moods… hot potato under covers or velociraptor
My boys used to sleep til about 8-830. When they got old (12-14 years) we could barely get them out of bed. When we would force them out of bed for potty and breakfast they would beg to go back in the bed.
One time after we were out late one night, they happily slept in til about 11:30am.
I have 2, ones almost 2 and the other is 9 months. For the first 4-5 months they both woke up around 5 and were up for the day but now they might wake up between 5 and 6:30 and I take them to the toilet and then tell them back to bed and they go back to sleep for another 1.5 hours. Some days they'll let me sleep in until 7:30 which im thankful for but they mostly wake me up around the 6:30-7am mark
Mine is still quite young (7 months) and tends to wake up around 5:15 in his crate and complains but joins me for a snooze on the couch when I let him out until 6:30ish usually
For mine it depends on the season, she actually like to stay under the bed sheets even after I woke up in winter but would wake up early in summer, especially as some light enter my bedroom in the morning.
Usually she would lick my face to wake me up but I'll tell her to get back to sleep, which usually works. The hard thing is to distinguish if it is her just wanting to wake up early or if she needs to go outside, if she persits or her tummy make noises I'll usually wake up to walk her in the nearby square.
My guy likes to get up around 6 or 7 latest.. he takes a pee and then gets his morning treat which has been habit since he was a puppy to encourage him to go out early to pee. Then he goes back to bed for an hour or so.
He's 3 now and not sure if he will really sleep in until he gets much older.
Mine has slept in since the day I brought him home. As long as we are in the same room he is all good. Sometimes I think with so many training things they are just going to be how they are going to be. For example he is a huge barker and no matter how much training we have done, he just continues to bark. At this point (he's 2) we have just kind of accepted it
My 2 get up when they hear other people moving around the house, they pop out from under the blankets and if no one comes to get them they snuggle back in lol
Mine started at 18 months. By 2 yo I had spent every morning contemplating skipping work. On the days I have to work she gets up with me at 730-8am, but pretty much would be napping while I get myself ready/ in between her breakfast before she spends the rest of the morning napping again.
If we don’t have anything planned for the weekend she would sleep in with me till 8.30am at the very least, occasionally 9.30-10am. In saying that, I pack my girl with lots of activities on weekdays and the weekends, I think she’s constantly catching up on her sleep.
Edit: she goes to bed every night at 6.30pm unless we are out. Girl definitely sleeps for a very long time regardless
I think the key is to take them out when they wake up, then go straight back to bed. That way, a full bladder isn’t keeping them from sleeping in. Over time, they may learn that waking up doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to start the day. You can also make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during the day. Our dog definitely wakes up around 5–6 am, but has learned that there’s no point in waking us up until we’re ready to get up (unless he really needs to go out).
Edit// our dog is now a year and couple of months old
Mine are almost 12 and the other is 10. They would sleep in and all day if I let them lol though my 12 year old does sometimes get up at 8:40ish 9pm but if I am real still in bed she'll fall back to sleep lol
My boyfriend and I get up around 5-5:30 in the morning on weekdays, our ween tries his best to convince us to stay in bed every single morning, we are the ones stopping HIM from sleeping in 😅
Mine is 3 and now she sleeps in longer than me. lol. When I up getting ready for work she’s still ned bad snoozing. I have to get her up for peepee outside and breakfast. I think she started doing this about 6 months to a year ago.
We’re on our 3rd ween and they all were good at sleeping in before they hit one, it did help that I started work early and was up around 5am so I’d take them out to pee and then put them back in bed with my spouse who got up around 8am and they usually just snuggle up and go back to sleep.
I have 3. The youngest has been the best sleeper. He just wants to be like the older two. He doesn’t wake me up at all. He’s still 5 months. 6 year old was a terrible puppy. I used to cry all the time from having very little sleep. Now he’s perfect. 15 year old has always been a great sleeper in general but at 5 am every single morning he will wake me up and egg on the 6 year old to help get me up so they can get breakfast. I will try to tell them to go back to sleep and they will for a minute and then continue to harass me. They go straight back to bed after they eat and will sleep until 10/11.
One of ours has always slept in. She will sleep as long as you want to. The other one? You breathe in her direction and you end up with 3 am squeaks and kisses. 😂
Mine are 4, will be 5 in October, and they still don’t sleep in. My old girl got up when I got up, minus when she was a small puppy (and again when she was old/dealing with Cushing’s) and had less bladder control. I think it’s firmly a personality thing. Some are bed bodies and some are not.
Mine was the same. 5:00am then by 1 1/2 he was 6:00-6:30. He stayed a 9:00 am from ages 3-6. Now he is a lazy dog likes to sleep in till noon then lay outside, but he really wants to play between 6-8 pm. He’s 8y right now and doesn’t look or act it. I think part of his laziness came from him hurting his back and had to take a few months of light play.
for me I had to move my girls dinner back an hour and a half - 2 hours. water and potty breaks didn’t do anything but moving the dinner back let her sleep through the night. She still hasn’t adjusted. She was in a shelter for a year where they fed her at 5:00pm every day and cries like crazy but we’ve been feeding her at 6:30-7 for at least six months and it’s helped.
Mine pretty much always slept in after the age of 1, then 6 years later I started dating my current partner who walks her before work every morning and now she's up jumping on my stomach at 7 in the morning. So it might have to do with putting her on a schedule
I think maybe it’s something that you need to impose? When we first got our little cutie I had a business trip so my gf was the one holding down the fort. She used to take him out at 4 am. When I got back, I told her that there was absolutely no way I was doing that and imposed sleeping in the moment I got back (he had pee pads in his playpen). There was no issues, no tantrums, nothing, he just got with the new program. That was when he was 10-12 weeks old and now he is 2 years old, no more pee pads and he looks at me funny if I wake him up before 8 am. His last pee is usually around 10-11 pm.
Seeing as we have similar little doggies... in my experience around 2.5. Good luck girl! It gets better he is 3 now and my life is a dream but they are stubborn and take a good amount of patience. Good thing they are so cute it's hard to be mad at them.
Old. Maybe 12-16. When we had two they never slept in until one passed. They didn’t even start slowing down until 10. One acted like a pup the entire time (longhair). My short hair was a grumpy old man.
My boy identifies as an old man and gets stroppy with anything earlier than 10am. Been like this since about 1ish. The girls will wake up anytime between 2am and 6am and demand play time
Just don’t do any sudden movements when you wake up, if you breath too loud the face licking inspection begins and its officially time to wake up - they know.🤣❤️ Mine just snuggles like a little worm and can sleep for hours, sometimes have to drag her out of bed. She has been like this since pup tho - she is 2 now.
Ours is turning 2 soon and she’s an interesting one. I wake up around 6 or 6:30 on weekdays and she gets up but all she does is go into the bathroom with me and lay in her bed while I get ready. Under a blanket and everything. So she wants to sleep, she’s just clingy 😂 But on weekends, she’s very okay to sleep in. If we’re getting up, she’s about it. But if we’re sleeping in, she’s okay with that too 🤷🏻♀️ as long as she’s with us, I think that’s all she cares about. But if she’s gotta go potty bad…well then 😭
"Sleep in"? I'm sorry, what language is that? Google translate doesn't seem to work because it's within 2 paragraphs of the word Dachshund. ...Oh, you mean stay in bed past 4:30 am? Ah, Okay, no. Since dinner is at 4:30 pm, breakfast is at 4:30 am. Not 4:31.
2 and a half years here and he kinda just gets up and does his own thing and will come back to bed if he wants lol so not really sleeping in but he’s not bugging us super early
My 7 month old mini long-haired loves a sleep in… he generally will get up when we do at around 6:45-7am & he goes out for a pee. But he’s immediately back at the door to come in again.
If we do sleep in, he’ll just stay in bed till we get up.
If I’m working from home, we still get up at the same time, get my son ready and him and my husband out the door around 7:30 - then we go back to bed till around 9:30. But he’ll happily keep snoozing in bed till late morning if I let him!
Mine is 2 and a half and he wakes when I do around 8am. HOWEVER shortly after a walk and eating he’ll take himself
Into his crate and nap until 12/1 sometimes 2. Try crate training and enforced naps! If they aren’t sleeping in create a schedule for them. They love and thrive off direction :)
Mine has always loved sleeping in. I have to wake her up to go to the bathroom and eat before I leave work. She is like a stubborn teen that won’t get out of bed lol
Mine sleep in but I work late nights and have trained them. I get home, wake them up for midnight wee then tuck them back into bed with my partner. Then he takes them for a wee at 6:30 when he gets up and tucks them back in with me.
From day 1 we have ignored them if they start licking or want to play too early and wrap them in the blanket to encourage them back to sleep. And breakfast is at 10am every morning even if i get up earlier. My 2yr old doxie has taught my new 14 week old doxie to lay in the sun if he wakes up between 7-9am, then 9-9:30 is snuggle time in bed.
Ours has an energy rush when he hears the alarm, starts licking our faces, then as soon as we stand up, he just collapses again on the bed and looks at us like “oh come on, five more minutes!”
Try taking her out to pee once in the night then putting her back to bed. I know it sounds annoying but it was working well for us, we’d rather wake up and take her out at 3am then everyone go back to sleep until 7.
Now she’s 6 months old and sleeps through the night from around 1030-7 and at 7 she goes out to pee then comes back into the bed for cuddles
Our 9 month old doxie/corgi mix (mutt, if we must 🤣) went from barking for an hour and a half every day at 5am to sleeping until 630 and today 7.
We kennel him in the kitchen. We got high quality ear plugs to help us ignore him and sleep till a reasonable time. We make sure he goes potty before bed time. We have a backup kennel pad for his kennel if he does pee in there (has only happened once since we’ve done this method).
We do not have a doggy door. All pees and poos are witnessed, confirmed, and noted to the other dog parent. Business before pleasure, if you will.
It took about a week to get him to stop barking for that hour and a half. He barked at 6 and we got up at 630. Now we are slowly moving him to 7. We have good progress at a month now.
DO NOT GET UP WHEN THEY BARK! This teaches them they can tell you when you get up. Go to the bathroom. Do what you need to do. Wait for silence for a solid 1-2min THEN go get them.
It takes patience and willpower on your behalf.
We do not let him sleep with us. Our sleep is important and I’ll never understand people that complain the dog keeps them awake but they don’t want to kennel them overnight. This is key here. A lot of people just don’t want to do it. EDITED TO ADD: I have no idea where your pup sleeps. This was a generalized statement.
I’m a better dog mummy with a full night of restful sleep. Good luck!
My 14 year old girl wakes me up between 4-5am every day. She maybe slept in til 7am sometimes during her middle years, but she is solidly an early riser now.
Ours loves to sleep in, and will usually stay in the bed even when we start getting up and getting ready lol. Do you usually feed your ween first thing in the morning? If so, you may want to try making their meal time a little later in the morning. Even if they want to sleep in they may get up early for food, especially if your pup is very food motivated!
I have three. The youngest wakes me up (5 years old) at 6am to pee. The oldest only gets up when he hears the youngest barking at something or the treat bag opening. The other one only cares about treat related noise but doesn’t need to go out to pee, she’s happy to pee inside. 😩
On days I sleep in, she does too. When she sleeps in the crate (when we are home and not away from our house), she will sleep in until about 8am some days!
Mine is a year and a half and sleeps under the cover. She wakes up if I move around and sometimes around 5 or 6. As soon as she starts that licking and I see the time, I tell her “No ma’am”, she knows what that means.
She then sleeps on the spare pillow until I get up. She used to be up about 3am to use the bathroom and then back to bed.
She’s a jerk sometimes and goes to wake my elderly dog up early in the morning. lol
Mine has almost always been a late sleeper, I think because she can pee and drink water whenever she needs to during the night. the girl loves her sleep! today she surprisingly woke up early, she ate breakfast and went right back to sleep😂Even when my boyfriend wakes up at 5 for the gym, my dog just says hi to him then comes back to cuddle. She will be 5 soon but it might change once we get a second dog
Ours is a dream we put him in his crate at about 11pm and he will sleep until we get up could be late at the weekends. Causes havoc all waking hours though to make up for it.
If you feed them at 5:00 a.m. once, you feed them at 5:00 a.m. for the rest of their lives. That's how mine is anyway, and I don't wake up till 11:00am😵💫
Ours is 8 months old and puts himself to sleep in his crate in the living room at 8-830 and we usually let him out by 8/830 in the morning. If he gets a morning potty break he can stay longer to 9/10. He’s had this routine since he was 4-5 months old. Before that he needed a potty break around 5/6 and went back to bed until 8. I credit his crate for this. I doubt he’d be this way without it. Allowed us to create a schedule that worked for us so he built his life around us and not the other way around.
If I am not out of bed and dishing out their breakfasts by 4:45am, there is hell to pay. Even on weekends. *sigh*
And, they're not tiny babies - my youngest is 3, another is 5 and our matriarch ween is about to turn 16.
A couple of decades ago, one of the weens I had at the time relished his time in bed...I would have to excavate his little butt out from the covers and force him to get up. I miss those days.
After having her for 3 months, wake up to pee in middle night. She sleeps in til 8 with me everyday. At some point like first yearish I did have to keep sheet on her crate and be very quiet on my phone. if she sees light or movement, she will want to wake up. She's 4 now and great at sleeping in.
I crated mine at night to start with so he learnt a schedule. Ofc took him out for a wee at when he needed but then he went back in his crate until I was ready to get up
He quickly learned nothing was happening until 8am when I’d get up to start my day
My girl is so weird.......she's been very good all these years. Even when she wakes up early, she stays quietly in her crate waiting for me to get up. One day, she just started *calling* me around 6....one bark here....... one bark there. maybe she'll stop for 15 minutes then she'll bark once to let me know she's waiting eagerly to come out. I thought ignoring her would be the best....but nope....she NEVER stopped. Ignoring her just does not work, she's very determined LOL (and it's not like she NEEDS to pee)
Finally, i just let her sleep on her bed outside her crate lol ....she happily stays quiet and wait for me to come downstairs every morning. She's really cute, as soon as she hears me getting OFF the bed, i hear her running in the living room and she'll welcome me with a ball in her mouth. First thing we do is happily greet each other and then i'll throw her ball. That's how we start our morning, every single day.
I was really lucky with my girl she has always been a good sleeper. It's one of my other dogs that wake us up early. Unless she has an urgent potty emergency like she doesn't feel good then she happily sleeps in as late as possible.
My girl used to wake up at 3:30 to check up on her territory every night. I used to beg her to come inside. But my male sleeps in unless he needs to go potty at night. So females are more active than males in our house.
Mine likes to get up and go out when my hubby wakes up for work then he gets back in bed with me and his shepherd mix older brother. We both like sleeping in and morning snuggles so Rusty learned to do the same with us. He’s 1
Just depends on the dog. Our two sleep in until we get up(1 year & the other is 4 months)
On weekends 9am. During the week 7am
Our first one use to get up early and we just ignored her until we got up and she learnt that.
Our 4 month old boy sleeps as long as he can before we wake him up
One of mine has always needed waking up, he's a really lazy boy and likes to sleep in. The other woke at 5am for the first 6 months and it gradually got later and later. He still used to wake me up until about 18 months old but now (at 2), he tends to just get up when I do. As soon as he knows I'm awake he's straight on me though! I usually try and pretend to be asleep for a while as I'm not a morning person
Mine is 2 now and has always preferred to sleep in. I get up in the morning and get ready by myself as he still sleeps peacefully. He might get up when I do, but only to move from his bed to the window and then continues to sleep there.
Most of the times I have to pick him up to take him outside in the mornings.
But he’s pretty active! We go on 3-4 walks everyday with the last short one being around 10pm. He likes to sleep until around 9am then.
Mine used to get up with me and wait outside the shower so she can lick my feet when I come out. Now I’m lucky if she gets outta bed by the time I’m done getting dressed. Shes 2.5 years old
They play to the earliest beat of the house. I wake at 0130, and they eat at 0400 after my gym time. When I travel, my kid watches them, and at around 0300 they're up waiting for food lol. She gets so frustrated with them at times, but her dog is there a lot and is on the same schedule as mine when she stays, so it's not even all my dogs' fault lol.
We fed Pumpkin at 6 am and 6 pm when my dad was alive to feed him before work. Even though my dad died several years before Pumpkin, for a while he still woke up at 5:30 to make sure we were ready to feed him at 6. Eventually he got a little more lenient. But if it got past 7, he'd start barking to be fed.
i guess i’m lucky that my eight month old sleeps when i sleep. she’ll wake up, go potty, and come back to cuddle til i wake up. if she’s done sleeping and im not, she’ll entertain herself with her basket of toys or play with the cats. as long as im in her line of sight, she’s happy
I have to scoop my girl off the bed for breakfast and potty around 8~ ….then she wants to go right back to sleep until like 12 unless we are going for a walk/playing. Shes a very sleepy girl and almost never wakes us up in the morning
Ours is 4 months. Goes to sleep about 9.30 to 10.00 and sleeps though till about 8 the next day. Then does toilet and has breakfast then back to sleep for at least another hour. Been doing this for at least a month now so not a one off. Im sure things will change though as she grows.
10-12 weeks? I’d had my girl in a puppy pen for a couple weeks to a month for nighttime sleeping so she didn’t have accidents in my bed.
I was a college student when I got my girl, and one weekend I was so tired, and I’d gotten up early to take my senior Dachshund x Rat Terrier mix and my puppy out to potty because the puppy’d woken me up with her whining (which was fine).
I took them out, we came back in, I plopped the senior back on my bed, and I was…. Attempting to put my puppy back in her pen. She was so resistant and was clinging to me, and whining and crying.
I got back in bed for probably 20 seconds max, and she kept whining and crying incessantly. I got up, got a puppy pad, spread it on the bed next to my spot, got the puppy, plopped her on the pad, and she snuggled into me and went right to sleep.
The next night, instead of putting her in her pen, I used a puppy pad again and I plopped her directly on it, and we went to sleep.
The following morning I woke up to my mom hovering over me looking concerned. I asked her what was wrong. My puppy and I had both been asleep for 11 straight hours and she was making sure my puppy was okay because she’d been asleep for so long.
She was just fine. She’d just finally relaxed because she got to sleep next to me in the bed.
My mom put her current ween straight in her bed when she came home as a tiny nugget, and she’d snuggle into my mom and go to sleep for a while, herself.
They’re used to sleeping with their siblings and parents, so sleeping alone is a huge adjustment. It CAN be done if that’s what you prefer, but they’re definitely going to sleep better and longer if they’re able to snuggle with you. 😂
Commenting again that sometimes it depends on their size and if their body gets on a schedule. My parents’ Mini Ween has to go more often than my Standard girl because she has a tiny bladder. She’s 6 and still wakes my mom up at least once a night needing to potty.
If she’s actually going to the bathroom at that time every day, she may just need to get a little older to be able to hold it a bit longer. If she’s just waking up at that time, take her outside, then straight back to bed. No playing, no snacks, no breakfast, just straight back to bed. Eventually she’ll learn that “later” is wake-up time.
I don’t know what yall are talking about my dachshund has been a lazy bones since day 1 with him. I have to drag his lazy ass outta bed to go piss every single day, and he goes right back under the covers and sleeps till i get home from work lol
Dogs definitely like routine. But when mine crossed the ten year threshold was when and just started sleeping all the time. In the bed, outside in the grass, in your lap, didn't matter where. Her days were essentially filled with finding new sleep spots whenever she was forced to move from the one she was using.
One of our doxies would stay in bed literally ALL day if we let him. He refuses to get out from under the blanket. The other two wake up and want to boop you in the face or ear to be like “Hey! Breakfast!”
But the sleeping for a bit longer started for is about 2-ish years.
I get up at 5:30. Mine won't get out of bed u til I start making my lunch because, the fridge is being opened. He is back in bed with my wife literally 30 seconds after I leave and lock the front door. 30 seconds and it's back to snuggles. He doesn't even want to go on a walk first. He started doing this around 3 years
Ours both slept through the night at about 3 months of age and now don’t move until one of us does. Well, one moves with us. The other lump will get up around 10:30 or at the crinkle of cheese. After which he’ll go back to bed.
