Normally, I do either DILD or DEILD, and I even pulled of a MILD (but it could technically still be a DILD.) It has worked well so far, except the lucids only last a short time, and are difficult to pull off. They don't last short times because I lose focus, but because they're always in my last cycle, and I am then woken up for school. I've become more interested in some more....direct approaches. WILDs seem to be quite easy, and I plan on trying one tonight. I have an alarm, that is guaranteed to wake me up swiftly, and have a plan as to where to move, and how I will sleep. I know what I am supposed to do...

There is just one problem, if I get up a four, and hoping that no one in my house is awake at this point (my family is an odd set of people), my dog starts to whine to go outside around 4:30, earlier if she hears people moving.

My question is, has anyone here tried a WILD and has a dog in their house? Would it be to distracting? What possible solutions are there?

Every room in my house has "thin" walls, so moving to a different room isn't really an option.
