Recently Toby has changed his sleeping pattern and we don't know why. He is now wanting out in the middle of the night. He never used to do this. It's been happening for the last week or so. Last night we took the water away at 6:30pm. He was sleepy at 8pm so we went upstairs to bed. Husband took him out at 9:30pm to potty then back to bed. At midnight he wanted out again. Took him out and put him back in the crate. He was up again at 3:45 and rattling the crate to get out. We laid there not wanting to get him this time. We waited until 4am then we got up. He went out to potty and is now sleeping on the couch.
Not sure why he is wanting out in the middle of the night. My husband has changed job positions which in turn he goes to work later in the morning. We used to get up at 4:30am but now want to get up 5am. Toby won't let us sleep this long.
We take nightly walks with Toby(of course training loose leash walking along the way) and we play with his toys after that. Some nights my husband runs with him outside to wear him out.
Any suggestions on getting him to sleep longer? He used to sleep all night until 4am without issues. Not sure what has changed. He is teething right now. He has lost 7 teeth so far.
