Message: [QUOTE="Yardigan, post: 3993337, member: 8851"] I know this is OT on this OT thread...but we got a golden retriever puppy about 3 months ago. We've been crate training her and she's been great. She taught me early on that it was much better to get up in the morning when she barked, than to clean the crate afterwards. She's been pretty regularly waking me up around 630-7...whether I liked it or not...for 3 months In a couple weeks, we're heading up to Maine and won't have a crate. I decided to bring her bed into our bedroom and let her sleep on the floor next to me. (I have a gate across the end of the bed to the wall). Done that for three days...and she's slept until 830 every morning...and that was because I woke her up... I like the auto-feeder idea. Distribute the food over 5-6 cycles, including one that aligns with his early AM hassle time... [/QUOTE]
