Why does a dog bark "into the void" at night: 3 possible reasons

A dog barking at night is a serious problem.
And it’s not just that loud sounds prevent the pet owner from getting enough sleep.
It is possible that the dog is exhibiting strange behavior because the person is not caring for him properly.
But before correcting the situation, the dog owner must find out what exactly caused the night barking.
There are three possible explanations for this phenomenon.
The dog releases pent-up energy
Perhaps the animal's daily activity level is insufficient.
In this case, the pet will start to release the accumulated energy at night. And the four-legged friend will do this even if he understands that he is preventing people from sleeping.
To correct the situation, it is enough to start walking the dog more often and come up with a few active games for it.
The dog found the "enemy"
Perhaps the dog found a rat or some insect. Hence the pet's "strange" reaction.
The dog is trying to tell its owner something
It is possible that the animal sensed danger. For example, someone is standing behind the front door.
The dog scares off the stranger and at the same time warns the owner about a potential problem.
Earlier we explained why a dog scratches its ears and shakes its head.
