Ok for the most part my puppy who is now 3.5 months old and is doing pretty good during the day time with her barking and misbehavior. Today she spent most of the day with me alone and was very calm and quiet. I did notice that she would want to sleep on the couch or on a pile of clothes etc for most of the naps.

I noticed that she was quite calm and very easy going and not even biting as much as usual. I was alone as my husband had taken the kids out for a few hours. My kids are 11, 7, and 1.

When everyone got back home she went wild. Boy do I mean wild. It was then time to go to bed and she just went nuts with the barking. All day she wasnt barking at all and all of a sudden she just wouldnt stop. I had to put a blanket over her crate to muffle the sound.

She did the same thing the night before. No one could sleep. She barked for two hours straight. I tried the water in the face, the coin shaking, ignoring her etc. Come to find last night that she had vomited in her crate. After it was clean she was ok for about 10 minutes then started up with the barking again. I waited and did the corrections again to no avail. I then let her out after 30 minutes and took her to her litter box. She peed. Then back to the crate for more barking again for at least 30 min. I then fed her and she was ok then she fell asleep in my rec room on top of some clothes. I took her off the clothes and into the crate she went then into my room. I finally got to go to sleep at around 2am.

Tonight she starts up with the barking again. She goes at it for about an hour. I put the blankets over the crate and after about 30 min she stops. She starts up again and i take her to the litter. No pee. I take her to her food. NOt hungry. I put her back into the crate again. She starts up again. I turn on the tv for a little while she goes at it for about 10 more minutes. She finally stops for about 45 minutes. Now she is back to the barking again. I have her in the kitchen and dont want to bring her into my room etc because i dont want her to get used to sleeping near us. I dont want her to get used to being near us as I dont want to start any type of separation anxiety later on. Its bad enough my 1 yr old wants to be on my hip all day.

Dont know what else she could want other then to sleep with someone. Ive tried everything and nothing is working. I live in an apartment and my downstairs neibors are real jerks when it comes to noise esp late at night to the point they will call the landlord and the police. I dont know what else to do to get her to stop the barking. My husband is really giving me a hard time about it as he gets up at 4am to go to work and he cant sleep with all the barking.

I need help!!!

Any advice? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
