feeding time

[billy whizz 141]

ok guys i have a problem at the moment my dogs are getting me up before 7 every single day im not bothered on work days but never get a chance to have a few extra hours at the weekend there wanting there morning feed,i feed twice a day around 7am and the around 4pm as if i fed later they were waking me up for a shit around 2am even though id had them out around 10 to 11pm!!stuck in a [bANNED TEXT] mess its like having kids!!

You're feeding way too often and probably too much: dogs shouldn't need to crap more than a couple of times per day, unless you are feeding masses of cereals, which are bulk and make the dog need to crap more often. (cheap manufactured dog foods are mostly cereal based: look on the side of the bag for the ingredients list)

 

I feed once a day around 8-9pm. My dogs don't need to crap until mid morning or later the next day.

 

I would wean them off the morning feed, and you'll have to be strict and tell them off for disturbing you: it sounds as though you are a slave to their demands and it is the dogs who make the rules in your household. Maybe look at how you organize their lives: do they get regular proper exercise? A tired dog is a calm, contented dog. less likely to whine and play up when in the kennel or at home.

 

And maybe look at the type and amount of feed you are giving as well.

If they are waking you for there morning feed then maybe get them off it. Or move it to later in the day.

 

I like feeding twice a day personally. Once in morning after a walk or mooch (partly to refuel after excersise and partly so they've got a meal in them in case i go lamping later on) and then I feed before bedding them down which usually results in a quiet nights sleep.

 

Maybe your giving them there last meal too early?

 

What do you feed because a dog eating at 10pm shouldn't need to crap it out at 2am.
