He willingly goes into his crate at night and when I leave for work in the morning, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. He is however VERY needy, jealous and does not do well when I leave him with others (even to go to the bathroom) it makes him very anxious. I try to take him to public places very often (as I live in Austin and most all places are dog friendly) to bring him around as many people as I can; I also take him to daycare 2x/week. I am doing everything I can to try to ensure he is well rounded but I am really struggling with his sleeping patterns and I need some sleep! Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! |
Ear plugs? If you take him out every time he whines then you have taught him to whine to be let out - so, clearly, you have a very smart dog who has trained you well!
Try ignoring him when he whines.
