Our dog is a good boy, but he is completely obsessed with cats. One was on top of our shed recently, and since then he constantly demands to be let in the garden and just stares, stock-still, for as long as we let him.
The problem is that he now reliably gets me up once a night to ‘go for a wee’ but it’s a devious ploy to check for cats. He comes in and settles quickly, but it takes me an hour to get back to sleep! It’s clearly a habit for him now but I don’t know how to break it? If I don’t get up he whines and whines and will eventually bark and mither me. He doesn’t give up.
Extra info: he doesn’t have any medical need for an extra wee, he’s v clever, he’s a sighthound, about 7 and a rescue.
What can I do?! Thanks so much in advance!
