We have three border terriers, two of which are fine and will sleep all night. Our youngest, who is now 14months old, has started waking between 2.30am and 4am, barking and waking the others, who then join in. If I feed them they go back to sleep until we get up. If I don't feed them, they start barking again 15mins later, repeating until I give in.
I have tried separating them at night, having the youngest in our bedroom. She would still wake up and then run excitable laps under the bed and round the room. She would then lie down shaking with excitement until she went back to sleep, me holding her to staying her bed.
She wakes two or three times a night, last night was four times and we are all exhausted. Neighbour is thankfully lovely and suggested a citronella collar which we will try tonight.
Any thoughts? Thanks
