As much as I tried to explain to my dog Lexi that it was too early to get up, she couldnโt be persuaded. Morning after morning, week after week.
Until I realised why she was getting up so early.
A lamp I had on a timer was waking her.
All I had to do was reset the timer by 15 minutes.
Too often we try to deal with the ramifications of a behaviour rather than its reason.
Next time, try looking upstream to see whatโs prompting it in the first place.
