A dog that barks at night causes inconvenience to the pet's owner, the family members of that person, and also his neighbors.

A four-legged friend who cannot calm down in the dark does not let people sleep.

Fortunately, it is quite possible to wean a dog from barking at night.

In this case, it is necessary to understand the reasons for such behavior of the pet.

To solve the problem that has arisen, you need to follow three steps.

Take the animal to the vet

It is possible that the night barking is due to the fact that the dog is sick.

If your four-legged friend makes noise even in the dark, he may be trying to let his owner know that something is wrong.

Interact with your dog more often during the day

If no health problems are detected in the dog, then the pet may not have time to release accumulated energy during the daytime.

Interact more often with your hyperactive four-legged friend: make walks more frequent and longer, choose active games.

Don't ignore your pet when you're at home: play with it and "communicate" with it.

Reduce activity levels in the evening

If during the day an active dog can and should be provided with significant physical activity, then the evening should be a “transitional period”.

A couple of hours before bedtime, stop playing with your four-legged friend and eliminate noise.

If these conditions are met, your pet will relax: at night, he will most likely behave quietly and calmly.
