Cooper is too smart for his own good.
I keep our bedroom doors open at night and our dogs are pretty good about staying out of Brody's room while I'm in bed. However, Cooper has discovered a new trick. He'll go into B's room around 5am and yawn really loudly, or he'll scratch at his ear so his collar makes noise. This wakes up Brody, and in turn, I get out of bed to put him back to sleep. Since I'm already up, I go ahead and let the dogs outside because by this point they're both excited and ready to go out.
I could put a gate up, but Cooper would just jump it. I can't close B's door because 1) I want to be able to hear him at night w/out a monitor and 2) I have to keep it open for heating issues.
I know Cooper has learned to associate Brody fussing at night with me getting out of bed, so he's pretty smart to think of a way to wake up Brody on his own. Little stinker!

I take Stella's collar off at night too, because when she scratches it makes enough noise to wake me up.
But of course, we keep her crated at night still. Otherwise she wanders the house and gets into bed with us, and there's just not room. It amazes me how much space a 17lb schnauzer can take up in the bed.
