Help! My six month old pup has, over recent nights, really regressed in terms of sleep. He has always settled well in a crate, waking up once a night to be taken outside, and then returning to his crate to sleep after that. Usually only until dawn but I can cope with that, although would prefer a longer lie in...
The last few days he has been waking up a few times a night - maybe 2-3 - and I've been going to him, and he's been difficult to settle afterwards. I think he views my arrival as the start of playtime now, whatever the hour. I think I've taught him that crying means I arrive to see him at night.
I am trying to undo this behaviour and to ignore his crying, but my goodness he is persistent.
I'm in a quandary as I don't want to let him get too stressed but equally I don't want to create a long term sleep issue...
