Hi there,
I am at the end of my tether with our beautiful cav Ruby who is two. I've never had any behaviour issues with her. Took her to puppy class in Dog Training Ireland, taught her basic obedience commands etc. The problem is in the last couple of weeks she's taken to barking at night time and I mean barking. At the moment I'm in bed and she's been barking on and off manly on since about 9:30pm.She sleeps downstairs in the living room but I leave the door into the kitchen open for her in case she needs a drink during the night. I come down the first few times it started to happen because it was in the middle of the night and to be honest I thought there was someone outside as she never makes a sound during the night. The last time until about 6 weeks ago I heard her during the night was as a puppy and that was only for a couple of nights .... She acts like there is something out there and if I went down now and opened the back door she'd be sitting at it ready to dash out and wake the neighbour hood. I've ignored it up till now but its getting beyond a joke. I have an 11 year old and a 6 year old and how they don't wake up is anyone's guess..not wait its not really ..Ruby barking oh yeah mum will sort that out.. and they go back asleep..I had to get ear plugs from the MRI department in work last week so I could stick them in and try and get back to sleep !!! I'm thinking strongly about kidnapping Cesar Milan at this stage ....help any suggestions
