3 Tips to get your husband to walk the dog at 6 am

January 9, 2019 by Melissa Chapman 21 Comments

This is a very familiar scene in my house: It is 6 am and my newest furry child is on my pillow-pawing at my forehead. The lil guy is dying to go outside and walk. He doesn't care that it is 6am. He doesn't care that I was up till umpteenth o'clock last night. All he cares about is his bladder- which no matter how often I take him out is always full- and this boy can lift his leg at least 15 times on any given tree any time of the day or night.

3 Tips to get your husband to walk the dog at 6 am

Of course IT IS 6AM and I would DO ANYTHING- not to have to sprint out of bed and wake-up. So I roll over and start poking my husband.

“Honey.. can you PLEASE walk Ike? I am dead tired and he is going to pee all over the house ( Let me add that he has already peed all over the house).”

To which my husband says: ” These are your dogs- you wanted them I am not getting up.”

Of course the man does have a valid point- I did technically decide for the both of us that we should brings dogs into our marriage- so I guess they fall under my jurisdiction- but I am a wife on a mission so his statement does not deter me from my end goal. So for all you women out there attempting to get your husband to walk the DOG at 6am… here are my 3 rules for helping you MEET YOUR END GOAL.


3 Tips to get your husband to walk the dog at 6 am

#1 You can never remind your husband enough about how you have SACRIFICED YOUR BODY to give him kids. That's right pull out the old, ” I have a kangaroo pouch because of that c-section I barely survived while delivering YOUR BABY BOY. ” (In truth I did have a slight mishap during my c-section- the Dr. cut the wrong blood vessel and it was a bit touch and go for me- but in the event that your c-section was as ordinary as possible- just put his finger on your PERMANENTLY scarred stomach be it via a c-section or stretch marks- for more of a dramatic effect while talking about this baby you gave him).

#2 Tell your husband how sexy it is when he gets out of bed to do you a favor and how much it TURNS YOU ON and then WINK AT HIM with a knowing- you scratch my back  and I'll scratch yours. Of course when he gets back after scooping poop chances are he won't be in a “back scratching mood”.

#3 If all else fails tell your husband that PART of the marriage contract reads- HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE- and if he chooses not to hold up his end of the bargain– That won't be good for ANYONE ( namely him). Of course if this tactic falls on deaf ears- pull a Bart Simpson on him and keep asking him to walk the dog- until he gets so tired of hearing you ask the same question he will do it just to SHUT YOU UP.

3 Tips to get your husband to walk the dog at 6 am

*DISCLAIMER- these 3 rules should all be immediately followed by a resounding I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HONEY I COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT YOU– you know just to SEAL THE DEAL.

    Ah! my hubby leaves for work just before 6am so he walks my dogs every morning so that isn’t an issue in our house. I just wish our teen would get on the ball walking!

    That puppy is just too cute. I always told my husband, “Your dog, your job.”

    Yeah… even if we had a dog, and even though my husband gets up at 6 anyway, I don’t see him ever walking the dog. Ever.

    My dogs are hilarious. They ALWAYS hit my husband when it’s time to go out in the morning. I guess I may have told them to bug off one too many times and they know the hubby will do it lol.. Great tips!

    Hey, it’s worth a shot! The dog is typically my domain but my husband will help out if I ask. But these make the asking a little easier.

    Ha, my husband would have NEVER gotten up to do it, even if i was sick with the flu, measles, diptheria, hahaa well, you get the idea. We didn’t have a dog, but I know that to be true. 🙂

    My husband may be interested if I pulled tip #2. But you can bet if I decided not to deliver and make good on my promise, he wouldn’t walk the dog again. 😉

    Oh my gosh Melissa, you crack me up so much. These are hilarious tips and I may use some for other reasons, but we don’t have dogs. Do you think I could get him to walk the chickens?

    I sure hope those are effective! Lol. But with all the things that you’re doing for the family the least people could do is walk the dog, really.
