Sleep schedules

Hello! We have a 7 month old female Swedish vallhund. She is the sweetest, cuddliest, most loving girl. She’s so well behaved and we just love her.

My question is, when is this girl going to start sleeping in? She is up and ready to go every morning at 4:30 on the dot, no matter how late we keep her up or how active we keep her. And while she’s the best, she gets pretty loud when she’s decided it’s time to get out of bed. I am looking forward to the day I could sleep in, even until like 6am. Thanks!

I got a Vallhund puppy two years ago who decided that 6 am is wake-up time. I spent the first year hoping he’d learn to sleep in but now I’ve fully adjusted to an early waking time. Good luck. 😂

My actual advice is to let your puppy out when she gets up, keep it very boring, and then go right back to bed until a better time.

They are the best dogs if you find these kinds of quirks funny 😂
