Our pup was one is September, he has always been an early riser but is quiet all night.
The last few weeks he has been barking once or twice in the night - not his morning bark to get my attention which is just a little yap every now and again but a ‘There is something in the garden’ loud continuous defensive bark - now I’m sure there are sometimes cats or whatever coming in the garden but finding it hard to believe this is happening twice a night.
It’s actually as awful as having a young child, I’m so tired! I have tried letting him sleep in our room but he was so restless - kept wanting to go downstairs, so that didn’t work.
He sleeps in the kitchen (as he always has) there is a floor length door with no blind so wonder if I need to cover the door but I’m not sure if that would help as obviously dogs hearing is very good so would still hear anything in the garden. There is the living room that he could sleep in but that faces the front of the house so potentially more noisy/people passing then the back garden?
Anyone else experienced similar, how did you resolve this?
P.s he has recently been neutered so not sure if this is a factor in his behaviour? X
