Well, since my original "crying through the night" post, I have since let cooper sleep with me. it seems like the best for both of us and others in the house. he no longer barks, rather falls asleep instantly. i think he just doesn't like to be left alone. i am hoping that he will grow out of it.
Another issue that I am thinking about is neutering him. he is almost 5 mo. old and I have read that neutering alters his hormones and in some cases decreases their energy level. I haven't decided what to do yet or when. my sister has neutered her dog and he does seem calm, but he was a shy puppy to begin with. can anyone shed some advice on neutering?? |
