Chloe has always slept in her kennel at night with few problems but the past month or so, things have changed and I can't figure out why. She sleeps in the tv room downstairs and I usually stay in the room with her for a bit to make sure she settles. Lately, she has started whining after she is put in the kennel. I know she does not need to go to the bathroom, so I just head upstairs and ignore her and she stops it. Last night (and this is not the first time) her whining got louder and louder and turned to barking. Everyone else has to get up for work or school, so I had to go down there and try to quiet her. To keep a long story short, at about 3 am, I finally let her out of the kennel, put the leash on her so she couldn't go far and I slept on the couch. She eventually did too. She really wanted to go upstairs and see everyone else (or maybe just my husband).
Has anybody had this trouble with their dog past the puppy stage? I am exhausted and really out of ideas. I took her out to the bathroom, then put her back in the kennel, gave her a drink of water in the kennel, tapped on the kennel when she whined, tried ignoring her... ugh,I am too old for this
I would prefer to keep her in the kennel at night because I can't have her in my room (allergies) and I think if she isn't in her kennel, she will bark at noises in the night. Help!?!
