Has anyone got any solutions to stop my dog barking all night, I think we get foxes in our garden, I have looked outside lots of times and I can't see anything, but the dog goes running to the bottom of the garden, it takes me ages to get him in and when I think he is all settled he starts barking again. It is driving me mad, any help would be appreciated.:)

our dog did that too, we had racoons and rabbits. we got her a muzzle, and every time we put her out at night, we would put it on her. she would come back in a sad like. after about a month of this, we tried letting her out without the muzzle, and she stopped. i have a beagle, and i notice shes much smarter than most dogs, so i dont know if this would work with any dog breed. also they make bark collars that you can buy at petsmart. it gives them a shock when they bark, you could just put it on the dog at night.

I used to have that problem where I used to live to and I could never see where it was. I don't think there is anything you can do. It used to get really annoying in the Summer when I used to have the window open. But Minxy I do not think you can do anything I know this discussion is 2 months old lol and you might have had a solution to it.

Maybe your dog is warning you of something on the other side of the fence. Your dog scares them off before you can get a glimpse of whatever he's barking at. Dogs have really good site. When he's inside at night see if you can turn outside light on to see if you can catch whatever he barks at. Just turn it on when it get's dark and you can see where he runs to. Good Luck in finding out why your dog barks a lot.

We used to have this problem with kangaroos, its nature they have to bark and protect their teritory. We tried a couple of things but we just had to end up locking him away in the garage over night.
