Sometimes dogs start barking in the middle of the night. This may be inconvenient.
Why do dogs bark at night
Night barking is a common problem for dog owners.
Your pet may bark in the middle of the night for a variety of reasons.
For example, an animal feels bad, wants to attract your attention, or reacts to external stimuli - other animals, noise outside the window, sounds from neighbors.
To solve the problem, it is important to understand what the dog is trying to tell you or why this is actually happening.
You should not punish your pet for this behavior.
You should find out the reason and fix it.
What to do if your dog barks at night
Barking at night is often caused by a lack of attention and physical activity during the day.
For this reason, the dog may have difficulty falling asleep and the animal may become bored.
A dog may also bark due to physical discomfort or pain.
Therefore, it is worth visually inspecting the animal. Check the dog's temperature.
If there are other symptoms or the barking lasts for a long time, it is worth checking your pet's health with a veterinarian.
Puppies often bark at night when they want to go to the toilet.
If your dog is bored and lacks attention, spend more time with your pet during the day and go for long walks in the park.
Dogs sleep much better after physical activity.
If the dog wants to attract your attention in this way and the animal is healthy, you should not pay attention to this, as this can become a habit.
If you take your dog to bed in this situation or pay attention, the animal will perceive this as encouragement for barking at night.
The pet will use this to satisfy its needs.
