In my old house Monroe would sometimes wake up at night and start growling/barking at this one corner of the bedroom, for no reason that I could determine (she’s also very rarely barks and that’s the only time I think I’ve heard her growl, so it was extremely strange). I would try to get her to stop but generally had to turn the light on, walk to the area she was staring at and then once she calmed a bit I’d put her on the ground and walk over to the area with her. Then, she would stop and we could go back to bed. It was so strange. I definitely had the, “is she seeing a ghost”?! thought too.
Has anything in the bedroom changed (moved/added furniture, even changed a scent in the room) ? Will he go into the bedroom at night with the light on? If so, maybe leave a light on for a bit while you sleep, then move to a nightlight until he’s more comfortable. And maybe give a couple treats in bed… I sure hope he comes out of it. I’d be heartbroken if my girls didn’t want to sleep with me. I’d probably end up in the living room with them. Haha.
Best of luck! Keep us updated! |
