Have you ever come home to your dog waiting at the door for you to enter? It sounds clich but it is possible! Tons of owners have trained their dogs this way.
The dog who wakes his owner up no matter what time of year it is. You fed him every morning when you got up to go running in the summer, which created a habit for him in the winter to get you up at that same time (even though you used to sleep in then)!
Experienced trainers know this about dogs, and that's why thinking about your dog's daily schedule and how it fits into yours is so important. The habits you set when you first get your dog are going to become his or her daily routine, and dogs thrive on routine and structure. So if you set up a particular time for your regular walks or meals and stick to it throughout the first few weeks you have a dog you had better be prepared to live with it.
If you don't want to get up every day for the rest of your life with your dog at 5a.m. then don't begin him on that schedule! It's your fault for him waking you up early, not his!
