Any pet owner will be irritated by their pet's habit of barking at night.

However, the dog will not bother you and your neighbors without the necessary arguments.

What is the reason for such nocturnal activity of the animal?

Outdoor activities

If you live in a part of town with a high level of nighttime activity, dogs may react to this at first. The dog, whose main function is protection, considers it his duty to warn family members about suspicious individuals in the immediate vicinity of the house.

Experts believe that this type of pet reaction can be corrected.

Stress

Sometimes dogs can also be exposed to various stressful situations. Barking in such a case should be a signal to the owner that something is wrong with the animal.

It is quite possible that he is uncomfortable sleeping alone or something is scaring your dog. The reason may also be even more banal: your pet does not have water or access to it.

Sexual activity

If the animals are not sterilized, they may sense a "couple" running near the house. In this case, the behavior is caused by natural reasons.

Boredom

If the dog is not taken care of and given the necessary attention, the dog will try to change the situation in every possible way. The animal knows that no one will ignore barking, so it uses it as a lever of pressure.
