Hoping for help.
I’m so desperate for sleep that I’ve become slightly obsessive about googling puppies and sleep.
My confusion is that half the information seems to suggest that a puppy will bark to let you know they need to go out to toilet...
Whilst there is also a lot that suggests if you respond too quickly to the barking, then it becomes learned behaviour to bark through the night when they want your attention.
So where is the balance point? How do you make sure you’re not ignoring a bark to go out, whilst teaching them that it’s ok to wake up all night long?
Is there an optimum time to wait before going to them?
