My dog, pomeranian always non-stop bark in the midnight, 2-3am.. No matter how i scold and bit it, it still the same..
It only stop barking when i come down from my room, once i off the living room light (it sleep in cage at living room) and go back to my room, then it start to bark AGAIN.

Someone told me tat just let it bark and it will stop after awhile, coz it know tat no matter how, owner oso wont "choi" it. But it is quite annoying since it bark in the midnight, the next day my family and i still need to work

I duno whether it wan to sleep with me, coz sometimes i cant tahan it, then will bring it to my room. Then... it STOP barking.


Anyone can help me to solve tis problem? Thanks

it seeks attention lor...just ignore it

I ignored it, but it bark almost every mignight.. I think my neighbour is going to complaint soon.

Last night, my father cant tahan, and told me tat dun keep the dog anymore.

Oh Noooo... tats y i need to search for a solution.

are you keep the dog on cage?

it saw "dirty" thing?

buy a dog's mouth guard to prevent it from barking...

only wear during night time lor

yea, it is another way, but no a solution, need to know why dog like bark at night. Are this dog keep at out side house?

I keep the dog in cage when its sleep time, in my house, living room.. I really duno why it bark, usually bark in 2-3am.. OMG

Im thinking to buy it a bark collar, if there's no other solution.

not all dogs are the leader/independent type. try cradling your dog on its back like a baby and see if it stays still or if it fights to get back up. if it stays still, its a submissive/manja dog. if it fights back, its a dominant/independent one.

if your dog is dominant, he may just want to show you who's boss and he's barking to have his way with you. just give it some time and let him adjust to his new surroundings.

on the other hand, why dont you keep it inside your room?

if you are worried about it doing its "business" there, just take it outside to do it after meals and just before you go up to bed. it will develop a habit for that and it can hold it in till morning.

I think my dog is not manja type.. when i try cradling it, it try to wake up and wanna bite my hand

My dog's fur is long and it will drop sometimes, so my parent not allow me to put in my room, they said it is not good for my health woh.. Coz when i breath, the fur will go in to my lung.

how old this dog?

1 year and 8 mths.. last time it very good gal, but now....

you must daily let the dog out, when sleep time you place it at cage? If i right?

During day time, i put it into cage, coz need to work, no one take care of it. I will let it out to play around when home. Then put it back into cage during sleep time.

Poison it la...

This is 100% not a good solution

you dog might feel lonely, try get some toys for him. before sleep, dont play with him.

Haiz.. hope toys can help it not to bark la.. this few nights oso not sleep well.
If really not work then use bark collar, is tat ok for dog to use bark collar?

i dont think it is solution. sometime you need let dog come out, because they bark for reason. like want do poo or pee.
but the much the dog bark no stop, is they want come out from cage. outside world more free.

- ignore your dog will only make it worst.
- dog's mouth guard is kind of abuse, imagin if you wanna talk i tape your mouth.

play with ur dog for an hour before you sleep. burn all her engery, she will go to sleep at night.

this will surelly help.

if she is soo hyper that 1 hour play canot flat knock off her. then play for 2 hours.

this will SURELY help.

make it to sleep by sleeping pill .... sure no sound ... hey, do it only with professional description ...

I noe tat dog's mouth guard is kind of abuse, but i only will do it if really dun have other solutions.
I play with my dog at least 2 hours before sleep, it sleep without bising between 10pm-2am, then 2am-3am onwards START non-stop singing

he must want come out for poo and pee, good dog never poo at own cage.

if a dog keep barking in night,it means that the dog just saw the devil. So it's quite normal. Don't worry

It will only stop barking when :-
1) I let it out, and it play around.
2) Bring it to my room and sleep together.

then it can like teh say. she need to toilet.

u need to check out what is ther reason. did she pee poo b4 she go in to the cage?

play then toielt her.. only let her sleep.

if she its not because of pee poo, then try to play more b4 she go sleep, make her totally knock off, bring her for a long evening walk may help also.

a pet product called oxyfresh has one supplement called oxyfresh relaxant. It's made from 100% herbs that calms the dog down and helps it to sleep. My male dog that has been harrasing my female non stop for 1 week because she's on heat, and keep whining 24 hours a day straight away go to sleep after i give him 2 pills. It's made from herbs like st john worts, valerian, chamomile, kava kava and melatonin so it's not exactly a drug.

This kind of product has any side effect? But then this only helps my dog to sleep, cant solve the problem.

OMG it's so annoying! I know how u feeL!!!

I have the same pRobLem ... but ouR situation is diffeRent...
My dog is a big guaRd dog that we keep outdoOrs.
He has a fenced up aRea to Run about & a shady RooF to pROtect him from the sun & rain.

He baRks ALL DAY AND NiGHT!!! it's annoying! He baRks at anything & eveRything...
dogs...cats...caRs...human beings... stRangeRs & non-stRangeRs...
He's a guaRd dog afteRaLL but it's distuRbing the neighbouRs & even me especiaLLy @ nite...

He wiLL onLy stop baRking for Like a few seconds when i scoLd him...
I tried giving him a companion (another dog)... instead they fought with each other ~
So i tried buying him some toys...but since he is a big dog.. he ate the whole thing up in within mins..

I guess we can't be giving our dogs medication everynight to make them sLeep?
BTW i know theRe's one moRe way but it seems cRueL... debug the dog... some PpL actuaLLy remove the dog's voice box..>_<~

Actually, it's debark...and yes, it's very cruel. Plus, what's the use of a barkless guard dog if he can't bark to alert you of strangers? Kind of defeats the purpose,no?

your pom is same as my dog la
my dog loves to bark bout 5am

because by the time most of my neighbour wake up to cook breakfast
and he woke up

then nowadays i feed him dinner bout 10pm
then play with him till he's really crazy bark non stop !
then put him back bout 11.30am
he will drink water non stop
then wll fall asleep
i will accompany him till 12am

then i off the light and went upstair

with this way
he can sleep terus till 8am non stop !!

anyway.. mine is puppy lah~

Reading your post sounds like your dog is a pup, but then reading further on, she's already 1 year plus? How long has she been with you? Has she been with you since she was a puppy, or you have only just recently adopted her?

If she has just been recently adopted, probably she's not used to your house just yet...however, if she has been with you since her puppy days, maybe there is something she is trying to alert you of? Perhaps there's a rat or something near the place where she sleeps? My dogs sleep downstairs as well, and they bark a lot when they hear funny sounds (like cars / motorcycles late at night, etc)

You could also teach your dog the 'Quiet' command....here's a link as an example to help you to do that: http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/BARKING.htm
There are also other training methods to teach your dog to be quiet. Google them to find out

Muzzling the dog overnight = bad idea. It can't drink water, and will be very uncomfortable. If your muzzle is too small he can't open his mouth to breath properly either. Muzzles are only for short term use (usually when being handled by a stranger eg. vet/groomer)

Anyway muzzling a dog isnt going to help with the noise. He won't bark. But he will start whining. Which is more irritating.

Since he is caged up all day, and only let out for a few hrs while you are home, then caged again while you sleep, its pretty obvious that he doesnt like to be caged. Who would? How big is your cage? Is there space for him to walk, stretch, turn around and stand properly? If not, you need a better enclosure.

Try to lock him in a room at night with his water/bed and toilet (if hes toilet trained), otherwise, let him out in the garden after dinner until you want to sleep then put him back in the house. He will do his business outside and won't want to do it in the night. (Adult dogs can do this, puppies need to go more regularly and will need a litter box). Don't lock him in the cage, sounds like he hates it. For all you know during the day hes disturbing your neighbours by howling no end. You don't know because you arent home

If you don't want to let him run in the room freely at night, then buy a wire enclosure and close up a corner of your living room at night. Then he will be able to run around a bit and play by himself

Remember a dog is not a toy you can keep in the cupboard and take out only when you want to play with it. No living animal likes to be caged or tied up with no freedom to move about comfortably.

Agree with Sashan , try to uncage him if your dog has been toilet trained. I dun cage my MS pup .. he dun bark and sleep when the light is off.. but he will wake up every 730am morning ..

maybe try not to cage your dog?
i dont know, but i nvr believe it caging a dog. a dog needs to be properly trained and i dont see a reason to cage them.

OOooo that's what it's caLLed.. i heaRd pPL say debaRk and i thought they meant deBUG...
weLL yea.. i won't debaRk my dog -__~ it's cRueL...
and yes.. mine is a guaRd dog... no point debaRking a guaRd dog...
but I don't think he's a veRy goOd guaRd dog..
he just Loves to baRk @ eveRy1 & eveRything aLL day/night..
LOL..

Some dogs do it just because they like to bark...you can train your dog the Quiet command too if you want him to be quiet when told It's good that he would bark, but you can just let him bark for a while, then tell him Quiet. That way, he knows that it's good to bark to alert you and your family, but there's a limit

i have the same problem as well. i just adopted a shih tzu (4 yrs) that was abandoned by his owner [can read the story in my blog or in the shih tzu thread]. we keep him in the house during the day, but when it's sleeping time, we put him in the kitchen. once we leave the kitchen he will bark and bark and BARK! non-stop until 3am

then early morning around 7-8am bark again...

it is not annoying for me, i'm just worried that he gets traumatised. i can hear him barking from my room upstairs and i feel very sad. everytime we bring him to the kitchen he will refuse to go to his spot, looking very sad (but didn't bark). only when i leave him, then he start barking.

we used to put him in the front of the house but when it rains, he gets wet (my roof is short). he will also bark when we put him there but just 10 mins he will stop. but in the kitchen he just keeps barking and whining.

i think he hates the kitchen. should i just ignore him so that he gets used to it?

what can i do?

I kept the dog since it is 4 months old Hmm.. i think it bark not bcoz of unfamiliar with the house, maybe it feel lonely and boring during the night.

Last night, my dog sleep from 10.30am - 5.30am.. Mmmm.. Not bad not bad. I brought it for a walk during evening, and taught it some simple command during night time, maybe this helps it to sleep.

you nid to company her more, shes lonely, dog likes to seek for attention, communicate with her more, after all, dogs are human best friend. so yeah, sayang her more. dont bring her up into ur room, later she biasa already, every night also bark non stop. dont scold and beat her. its not good. if she bark, open the cage, sayang her abit, tickle her, then let her back cage. it works for my dog. sometimes they just wanna seek for attention

Yeah.. when i beat it, i oso sakit hati. So i decided to train it patiently

good luck. hehe

hi, you may read my blog article http://petmyforum.com/2009/03/calm-down-an...-the-cesar-way/
it might help the way. Dogs bark as a form of communication. If your dog barks, there is a reason why

whenever it barks, kick its butt, or wack it gao gao!!!
joking lah............

Like this lah, u cage her during day time coz u need to go to work, fine lah. During night time, better dun cage her lah. Either u keep her in your room, or go get 4-6 piece or play pen, like that she will feel better. Sometimes dogs like to hide, so maybe u can buy some enclosed dog house for them, so that she can hide inside and sleep.

Last time I also cage mine during day time coz work mah, then when i come back, I'll release her. bed time she'll sleep in my room.
Now, i need not to cage her liao, day time, i lock her in my room. Leave some toys for her, provide water as well. But make sure u've toilet train her, else will have pee and poo in your room oh.

What is play pen?

This is what a playpen looks like:


Most pet stores have it, I think...they sell it for about RM16-20 per piece. A whole playpen is made from as many pieces as we like...for your Pom, since it's a small breed, you can use 3-4 pieces

ever heard of salotape ?

i think most of the dogs like that and mostly they don't wan to be alone. I put my Shih Tzu inside the Toilet during the night around 11.30pm to 12.00am. Cannot put her in before 11.30pm oh because she know it's not her bed time yet =.=, than she will quietly sleep until morning 7.30am. Good girl right? Hehehe.... Actualy we all are same, when she's just a little baby, we ignored her. It took us about 1 month to train her not to bark. Just "Ignore, Ignore & Ignore". And 1 more thing, when we put her into the toilet, we will never never and ever make loud noice outside the toilet. Cuz she will know somebody is not sleeping n she'll start barking and wanted to come out and play.

Oh.. im thinking to buy it before, just scare tat my dog will push it here n there

I cant ignore its bark, kena complaint by family.. next will be neighbour

Your Pom is so small, he can't push it around... I have a Chihuahua at home, and although he tries to push whenever he's bored, he couldn't make it move. Unless your dog is a really huge dog, the play pen works fine...I've had the play pen since Scottie (my Min. Schnauzer) and Kenji inside since they were little, and has had no problems with it at all...way way better than caging the dog

Try ask ur family to tahan for a few days lor. And try communicate with ur neighbour. If u keep go down and entertain her on 2-3am, than she forever will be like that. Must try to ignore her for awhile. She bark also will get tired wan.

Hmm.. tml after work go to pet shop search for it, hehe.. Anyway, thanks ya

Doubt a Pom will be able to move a 4 piece play pen but just in case, you can just block it with a pail of dirty clothes or water.

When you are home, let your dog out and play with it. Burn all it's energy and when it's time to go to bed, let it go to bed. If you feel that you need to use a muzzle, then by all means - better than people complain and get into trouble.

Muzzle may seem cruel but if you sleep, your mouth also close. Open also not that big, provided you dont tie too tight. Give some space and untie and let it drink water in the morning.

Anyone know that wer can buy playpen nearby subang?

Do you know how to get to NZX from Subang? I hear it's quite near Subang, but I'm not sure because I'm not from Subang...NZX has a pet store called FLUFF. They carry play pens too Directions

Haha.. i think it is located at petaling jaya. Since not tat far, maybe can go there have a look

Thanks Rayne

Someone also selling cheaper playpen online here.
Perhaps u can check at garage sales

Oh oh.. Really hor? Thanks ya

hihi... hows ur pom now? still bark at midnight? how about the new pom u bought? got follow bark?

Hello..
My naughty girl pom still will bark in the midnight, i think need some time to train it

The new pom oso very naughty, it will make noise when it awake or saw people walk around. It want to come out play.. And.. it oso bully my girl pom, so fierce, haha..

haha ic.. ur new pom u also cage him while sleeping time? is it maybe is arrival of new pom.. tats y ur girl pom barking at midnight? jealous?

Yea, I think that's a possibility too... Maybe you should let them sleep separately? In a different room, arrival of new smell to conquer her spot. Hehe..

Poms needs a lot of attentions, they are very manja dogs. I guess your pom just want attention. After reading all the barking dog story I think i'm blessed that I got a chow chow. She never bark unless got stranger at gate. If she is inside the house, she can even doesn't bark a single time in few days.

Nice dog hehe. My Shih Tzu will bark at me if i don't play with her she really not ppl's attention 24/7, just like pom.

whack the fella

Yeah, not allow it to come out, unless it is play time Jealous? But i oso very sayang her woh..

I let them sleep separately, 2 different cage and put them far from each other, but still can see each other During the night, either one start to make noise, then another one follow

I like chow chow too, but it is too big.. haha..

hope this guide can help u on training ur new pom

Got a pom or spitz cross, adult dog. No probs at all with barking (thank god)

do u bring ur dogs to parks, stroll like that? i read that some dogs who don nvr go out feel frust n channel their frustration n energy to excessive barkings. or give them sthg to chew on may work. so i read

discipline very important, softly tap their ass for disobedient n reward them with biscuit very effeective my long time dog owner fren practice

his non exotic dogs nvr go for any training...so discipline, even they hungry in front of rice my fren took out for them they wont eat but sit still till my frn signal them 'can eat'...

PUT DOWN TO SLEEP! EUTHANISE!!!

First you're asking people to send the pets to your 'beloved' shop to pamper them...and now you tell people to euthanize their pets?! Get a life, dude. In case you didn't notice, your post count didn't go up by spamming other people's threads.

HI RAYNE,
I WAS JUST JOKING. OF COURSE I LOVE DOGS, I AM TRAINED TO LOVE THEM AND WILL NEVER PUT THEM DOWN UNLESS NECESSARY....PETS ICON ROCKS!!!

Some things are not meant to be joked at, if you don't know. Time for you to learn some tact.

WHERE IS UR SENSE OF HUMOUR? OK LOR, I STOP JOKING...BUT SERIOUSLY, U SHOULD SEND UR DOG FOR PROFFESIONAL GROOMER, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS TRAINED FROM AMERICA...DONT DIY, U HURT UR DOG OSO U DONT KNOW!

I don't really need to justify my grooming skills to you, thank you very much...how long have you been caring for a dog anyways? Do you even OWN a dog?

The caps make my eyes bleed

LoL. caplock! GG!

feel weird, something like commercial advert.

Everyone, thanks alot for the advises and opinions

Nowadays, my adult pom not bark anymore in midnight, my mom trained it by "NO", haha.. Next.. need to train my pom puppy as well

Yeah i teach that to my Shih Tzu too.


Yeah, thats a good sign. It means that she able to obey ur mom command. When my Shih Tzu bark, i shout NO! and she'll stop too. Good Job to you

Glad to hear that ur prob solved.
next time ur house sure will keep listen "NO" "NO" "NO"

haha. it hapens to me when my furkid do marking or lick d floor.
