We all want our pets to grow up healthy and happy. But sometimes, puppies may have some problems that bother us, such as barking at 2 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. This problem will not only affect the quality of the owner's rest, but may also affect the rest of the neighbors. So, today I want to share some methods that I hope will help owners facing this problem.
1. Conduct a physical examination on the puppy
First, we need to conduct a physical examination on the puppy. The reason why the puppy keeps barking at 2 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night may be because the puppy is not feeling well, such as infection with virus, fever, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. If no problems are found, then we need to learn more about the puppy’s behavior and habits.
2. Try not to feed at night
Some puppies may bark at night because they are hungry. Therefore, we need to try not to feed at night so that the puppy can rest quietly at night. If your puppy is barking because he is hungry, offer more water after dinner.
3. Adjust the puppy’s living habits. If the puppy plays happily during the day, it may easily feel bored or overtired at night. At this time, we can adjust the puppy's living habits so that it can move and play more during the day, so that it will be easier to fall asleep quietly at night.
4. Increase your puppy’s outdoor activities
If your puppy doesn’t get enough exercise, it may feel anxious or excited at night. Therefore, we can increase the puppy’s outdoor activities so that it can better consume its energy to help it stay quiet at night.
5. Provide some comfort
Sometimes, a puppy may bark at night because of loneliness or loss. At this time, we can provide some comfort to the puppy, such as staying close to it, so that it can feel the warmth and care of the owner. You can also put on some soft music or white noise to relieve your puppy’s anxiety.
TotalIn short, to solve the problem of puppies barking at 2 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, we need to conduct a physical examination on the puppy, understand the puppy's behavior and habits, and make some necessary adjustments and arrangements.
