    Look, I can’t help it. The dogs wake me up at 4 every day and I can’t train them out of it and once I’m awake, I can’t get back to sleep.

    I wish I wasn’t a morning person. I really wish I could sleep in on the weekends. Alas, fate had naughty dogs in store for me.

        My dogs are very stubborn and very stupid. One of them failed training. The other one can’t even learn to sit.

          Definitely a you-problem. There don’t exist a dog too stupid to learn to sit on command. Them barking to wake you up continues to happen, because you allowed it to work in the first place.

          If a dog barks and sees you raise… well of course they’ll continue that behaviour in the future, if it’s successful.

            Oh it isn’t barking. It’s one of them jumping off the bed, zooming through the house in a big circle and then jumping on the bed over and over again and then the other one getting woken up by that and deciding it’s kisses time.

      I hear you. I’m an insufferable morning person, but my son goes harder and is almost always up before sunrise.

        Honestly, I’m so used to it at this point that I kind of look forward to quiet time when I can just sit with the naughty little dog in my lap and read the news, check forums, etc. before work.

          Here’s rhe secret: that’s why night people like the night too

          Turns out people generally just don’t do anything in the morning or night and whichever one you choose doesn’t really make much difference
