Dogs are susceptible to the slightest movements made by humans. They can hear, smell, and see better than us, so they are always alert for anything that may be a threat or danger.
If you’re like me, you love your dog. You also love sleeping in on the weekend and spending time with your dog.
If you are a dog owner, you know all too well that there is no better alarm clock than a dog.
They can be quite persistent when they want something, and even if they don’t have their own agenda to push, they may just have decided that it is time for you to wake up. You might have even wondered why your dog wakes you up in the middle of the night.
Here are some tips and tricks that can help you get back into enjoying your weekend mornings again!
Reasons Why Your Dog Wake up when you Move:
1.Separation Anxiety
It could signify separation anxiety if your dog wakes up when you move. If you leave the house for work or errands on weekdays, try to make time for your dog on weekends. Go for walks together and play around with them in the yard.
This will help ease their worries about being left alone during the day. If you can’t make it home from work every day, try to get up a bit earlier in the morning and spend some time with your dog before you leave. This will help them feel less anxious about being alone during the day.
If your dog is a senior and has trouble getting around, it could signify arthritis. Ensure they get plenty of rest during the day and have easy access to food and water. You can also give them supplements that will help with their joints.
2. Your Bed Might be Uncomfortable
Your dog may feel that the bed is too small for them or that it’s not big enough for two dogs to share comfortably.
If this is the case, you can purchase a larger-size mattress that will accommodate both of you without leaving any gaps between the mattress’s stuffing and the sides of the bed frame.
Your dog might also be uncomfortable because they have no idea where you are when he wakes up at night—you could be lying on top of them instead!
This can cause anxiety and lead them to wake up more frequently than usual due to a lack of security (which makes sense considering how much we rely on our humans).
3. Your Dog Thinks You Need Help
Your dog is an intelligent animal. They can tell when you are in pain and will try to help. This can lead them to wake up frequently at night to get you help.
If you are having difficulty sleeping, your dog will notice and try to make sure you feel better.
They are very intuitive and can sense when something is wrong or feels out of place—they want nothing more than for these situations to be fixed so they can sleep peacefully again.
If your dog wakes up when you move around, they may be trying to wake you up, so they don’t miss out on something fun or funny.
Dogs are susceptible to our emotions, so if you look tired or upset, your dog thinks they need help too. Some dogs will even wake us up just because they want us all to cuddle together!
Pet owners should not encourage this behavior as it leads them away from their routine during the day (or night).
To prevent this from happening: teach your furry friend independence; make sure they understand what “going back” means (i.e., staying put while sleeping); leave plenty of space between each other—and don’t forget about yourself! It can be very tempting to pick up your dog when hurt or feel bad, but this is not a good idea.
4. You Move Too Much
You’re moving around too much. Your dog might be waking up because of the way you’re moving.
You may also be making too much noise while walking, playing with your dog, or just trying to get his attention. If this is the case, he’ll probably wake up because he wants something and doesn’t realize you’re there yet!
This can happen when you walk past him while he’s sleeping on the couch—he might startle at first but then settle back down again once he realizes that nothing has changed (and it’s still dark outside).
Your dog might even wake up on purpose to go potty or eat something tasty—and sometimes, they do this without realizing why they wanted something so badly in the first place! So, if your pup wakes up when someone moves near them at night.
5. Your Dog Might Want to Go to the Potty
If your dog is waking up because you’ve moved his crate to a different room, there are a few things you can try.
- First, take him for walks more often—his heart rates could be lower when he’s out in the open and running around than inside his crate.
- Second, ensure that he has plenty of toys to play with while awake games like fetch or tug-of-war can help distract him from being upset about being moved. Thirdly (and most importantly), don’t leave him alone in his crate all day!
- Your dog may want potty breaks every so often or needs some time outside his house to stretch out his legs before returning inside again. If this happens regularly, it could become frustrating for both parties involved because neither party wants potty breaks happening during regular play times when everyone should be having fun together!
- Finally, keep an eye on your dog for any signs of distress. If he’s showing pain or discomfort, it’s time to take him to the vet!
6. Your dog Might have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
If your dog is waking up repeatedly because you’re moving around, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are common in dogs and can cause frequent urination or blood in the urine.
If your dog has been diagnosed with a UTI, you should talk to its veterinarian about treatment options.
In some cases, antibiotics can help relieve symptoms associated with this condition; however, if left untreated, it may lead to complications such as kidney damage or death.
Treatment will depend on how severe the case is but usually involves taking antibiotics over several days until symptoms disappear entirely.
If you have a small dog, it’s essential to keep their bladder empty by taking them out frequently. This can be done by using a litter box or potty pad.
If your dog is urinating more than usual and there is blood in the urine, this may indicate an infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics immediately.
