So I tried the carrier and no dice. I tried moving him into a different part of the room where its darker/quieter, still no dice. Last night I came home, played with him for quite a while (he was pretty tired afterwards), then he went outside a couple of times and one more before bedtime. I even let him sit with me in bed and chew on his bone for a while. Then he went in his crate and after about 15 minutes he started whining, then growling, then full on BARKING. It sounded like he was throwing a temper tantrum! He has never acted like this ever....is this a "terrible two" stage or something but at 6months old??? One of my coworkers suggested I get a clock and place it near his crate so he hears the ticking. This is baffling me because up until this week, he has slept fine in his crate and there has been no change in his diet or any new things on at night (always have the tv on, no lights). Anyone else have a suggestion? I'm getting really frustrated. I don't want to put him downstairs in his pen where I can't see or hear him, but if that is my last resort I may have to do it. HELPPPPPP
