Sometimes dogs start barking at night, causing discomfort to their owners.
Moreover, a pet may behave this way for several reasons.
Why does a four-legged friend bark at night?
Dogs simply don't feel the difference in time. So they can bark both during the day and at night.
They can stay awake at night too. After all, thanks to their sense of smell and good vision, pets can navigate in the dark.
At the same time, dogs can have their own routine and they do not necessarily go to sleep if their owner does so.
Possible reasons for barking
Some people try to connect the night barking of dogs with mysticism.
However, such behavior may be due to several rational reasons.
For example, an animal may get bored. And with the help of barking, the pet attracts attention and calls someone to itself.
If the dog has slept well during the day, it will need to direct the accumulated energy somewhere.
As a result, the animal may try to wake up the owner in order to play.
Four-legged friends can notice things that are sometimes invisible to humans.
Their sense of smell is much stronger. Therefore, a dog can detect some unpleasant odors and start barking because of it.
Anxiety can also be a reason for barking. The dog will behave this way if something is bothering it.
