dogs are very routine oriented and have an internal clock that they work from. Once they have a set routine, changing of time zones which we can relate to is totally different from the dog. I inherited a purebred German Pinscher from Maryland (EST), I live on the West Coast in Washington state (PST). For the first several months, this dog was barking to go out at between 3:30 and 4:00 am every morning. This has since eased to now around 5:30 to 6:00 am which only tells me we have a few more months to go before his internal clock is set for PST. I dealt with a similar situation after Katrina. A woman adopted one of the dogs that was left behind. She lives in the midwest and had difficulty understanding why the dog was up 2 hours before she wanted to be, everyday.
I explained that the dogs routine was already in place and prior owner probably arose at a certain time everyday so her dogs internal clock was set for this. She replied some months later that indeed the dog was starting to come around and sleeping later everyday. It just needed to learn a new routine. Give it time and a great deal of patience.
