Can anyone offer any training tips to stop barking?
We have three dogs, recently introduced a puppy. He barks as soon as he wakes up which is sometimes as early as 4:30. The other two who have never been barkers are beginning to learn his behaviour and now any one of the three can start barking in the early hours, they're not distressed, they're just awake and wanting to be out of their crates (all three sleep separately).
I've considered moving the pup out of the room but as mentioned, the other two have started barking regardless so I really need some training tips to make them bloody pack it in! Dp, myself and the dc are shattered and the neighbours must be pissed off too!
