We've only had him 10 days...he's 6 months old.
First couple of nights he took a while to settle into his crate but I'd expect this. Then he seemed OK apart from the fact he poos in his crate most nights about 3am. He then barks hysterically so I get up, clean the poo up, put him in the garden and then back in his crate.
He normally settles quite well. Apart from last night. He barked from 2am non-stop, and I mean non-stop. Ignored him for over 2 hours, then went down and told him off. He was quiet for 3 mins and then started up again.
I'm shattered, dh is in a foul mood. I put the dog in one of the outbuildings at 5am just to try and get some sleep, but he's managed to make a hole in the brick wall and then stuck his head out and carried on barking. I'm sorry, but I was desperate and probably not very rational. DH is muttering about sending the dog back which I really don't want to do......I don't think dh is serious.
There's no way DH would allow him to sleep with us at night. He could at a push sleep on dd's bed and if he was better house trained I'd be keener on this. I'm concerened he'll poo in her bedroom or even on her bed in the night.

The doghouse
I'm at the end of my tether with new dog barking at night.
