I have to vent

My son(dog) will wake us up sometimes to go potty/poopy around 3 or 4am.. no big deal. He usually does it by pacing or staring at us on the bed.

But sometimes when he does this.... I follow him to the sliding glass door and he then sort of cowers and then when I unlock the door, he just jets back to the bed and takes my spot. That way he can be next to my wife. Then he will refuse to move.

Anyone have anything like this happen before?

I'm just innocently walking to the door to let him pee and then he pulls that stunt.
