Dogs That Wake You Up

Last night was one of those nights. I went to bed with too much on my mind and woke up at 3:30am, back to thinking about all of that stuff. Worrying, really. 

We all have stuff. Stuff to worry about. For me, last night, it was about technical issues with my website. So, I woke up, couldn't stop thinking about it. And I sent off an email to my webmaster to have him work on it today. 

I'm going to be tired today.

I see a lot of dogs with sleep issues. 

Some are medical, so those are referred back to the vet for diagnosis and treatment. 

Some are behavioral, and those need to be puzzled out. For young puppies, it is normal for them to wake up frequently. As dogs get older, then something is going on and that needs to be figured out. I have had students lose their cool with their dogs, and hired me to help them find a solution. It is no fun having a dog that won't let you sleep, for one reason or another. 

Plan accordingly.
