The situation when a dog interferes with enjoying a night's rest is not so rare: sometimes even well-behaved animals can demonstrate undesirable behavior.

However, this does not mean that you can forget about comfortable sleep: if you establish the reason for your pet's "night" activity, you will wean him off this unpleasant habit.

Why a dog may act up at night

Lack of physical activity

Some dog breeds need a lot of movement, activity, and even sports to feel comfortable. If the dog suffers from a passive lifestyle, it will look for a way to release the accumulated energy.

For this reason, the dog may act up at night.

The way out of this situation is simple: start taking care of the animal and you can forget about the problem.

Fear

Experts note that dogs can experience high levels of anxiety. At night, the problem becomes more serious for the animal, since the owner is not around.

Sometimes anxiety is caused by fear or prolonged stress. A more precise cause should be determined based on the general condition of the animal.

For example, you may have rearranged the furniture, which is what caused the anxiety. Or the dog may simply be afraid to sleep alone.
