By one year ours had a schedule the same as us getting up at 6am and boy she knew when 6pm was for her second meal.
There was a period where she woke at 5am. Luckily I happen to wake up earlier one time and realized it was a neighbor's diesel truck starting up and waking her. So listen and see if anything outside is doing the waking.
Oh lovely, I just realized we have the problem at this home with a semi-truck sometimes waking me up. Should make things interesting when we get a puppy.
When she was a senior, she was content to sleep in on Saturdays until 8am.
I did have her crate as my nightstand, and I remember tapping the crate door saying quiet. With her washable bedding, it was worth the risk to get my sleep and not be a grump to all. But as an elder dog, her bladder ruled me, she finally won who got who up.
Merrie
