At night, many dogs behave quietly and do not disturb their owners' sleep.
Such dogs, if they start barking, only do so in case of some kind of danger or because they hear a loud sound.
But what should you do if your four-legged friend does not demonstrate such correct behavior and constantly barks at night?
The answer is simple: you need to pay more attention to your pet during the daytime.
Why does a dog bark "into the void" at night
Most likely, the animal acts this way because of boredom and accumulated energy.
In other words, the dog didn't play enough and didn't walk enough during the day. As a result, he developed a desire to be active at night.
You need to understand the following: dogs do not divide the day into “time when it is light” and “time when it is dark.”
Pets do not see the need for mandatory night rest.
Therefore, you need to create a schedule for the animal so that the dog's active period falls in the morning, afternoon and early evening. Make sure that by late evening the dog does not have much accumulated energy left.
What should the owner of a dog that barks at night do?
It's very simple: walk your dog more often and for longer periods in the morning, afternoon and evening hours.
Play with your four-legged friend. The more active the games, the better.
In this case, the dog will sleep at night: there will simply be no energy left to create noise.
