It varies by dog. Most of them want out by about 7am. They usually come in for the last time around 11pm. Hobo occasionally wants out at 4am, if he has had too much water!

Sleet waits until I leave for work before she even moves off her bed. On weekends, Chum will sleep beside me for as long as I stay in bed. He loves a good sleep-in morning!

Paxil and Preacher would both prefer to stay inside all day every day. I have to argue with both of them to get them outside at all. Paxil prefers to go out only when her harness is involved. If she's not working, she'll stay by the woodstove! The last thing I do every morning before heading for work is take Paxil to the door! On days when I am home, I let them decide when they want out. They can both go up to 18 hours before asking to go outside! I'm pretty sure I could litter train them, but I'm not going there!
