you can't train [a dog] to wake you up every day at a certain specific time, unless it can recognise some signal.

My dog always woke me up at a consistent time every morning. I didn't train her to do that, and I don't know what the signal was (other than the position of the sun, I guess). I used to hate it, because it was always too early, but I eventually got used to it.

Maybe I was the trainee, in this case 😆

    If she could see the sun, or hear people moving outside, or anything like that, yeah, a smart dog can easily learn to recognise those signals.
