Hi - this is my first post but I've been lurking for ages!
We have an 18 week old working cocker puppy. We've had him since 8.5 weeks. He has always slept in an open crate, inside a puppy pen in the kitchen without any issues, but the last week (ish) he has started barking and howling at 2/3 am.
I'm not too sure how to resolve this - can anyone help? We've tried ignoring him, but we can't really do that for too long as we have neighbours as well as a toddler. He doesn't really want to go to the toilet - he sometimes will but mainly he's just super excited to see us and wants to get on the sofa and be cuddled!
We've just bought a crate to have in our bedroom, but I'm not that keen on doing that - we have a cat so we're trying to keep upstairs dog free, but also I'm worried sleeping in our room might give him separation anxiety?
Any advice? Please be kind, we are really trying!
