    Our 6 month old puppy has started to wake up at 4 in morning, she goes out and does all her jobs like normal then pops back into bed like a normal morning but then will whine and whine until we give in and go and feed her her breakfast, she Weill then sleep for short while and wake again for another early day! Any ideas how to get her to sleep longer, she sleeps in a crate.

    I wouldn’t feed her till normal breakfast time or she will wake up for food.

    Maybe make her evening meal later?

    I wouldn't feed until breakfast time. Waking early doesn't make it breakfast time. What food schedule are you using, treats and biscuits included :) . Also sometimes the actual food/quantity can be a factor so that info would help us advise you :)

    In our house Luna has to fit around 3 different work patterns. As shift work for one of them. Most days someone leaves for work at 5-30 so she has breakfast around 5 and then the others are either coming home from night shift or have a day off, she is never left for long on her own in the house and loves her crate. We feed her 3 times a day the recommended amount of kibble for her size and breed, the last time we went to her vet check she had put on a little too much weight! She loves her frozen Kong's with healthy snacks inside and she will do anything for a carrot!
