jjmack Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Bonnie our rescue dog was doing so well , after a week of sleepless nights she got the idea and was happily going off to sleep on her own and sleeping till whenever we got up. She managed that for a couple of months and we've been lulled into a false sense of blissful sleeping! She came into season last week and has been like a petulant teenager. Last night she refused to go to sleep and was whining scratching and barking. It took a good couple of hours of ignoring, firm responses and putting her in her bed before she went to sleep and slept till morning. Same again tonight. I am hoping this is a bit of a glitch, not sure I can do the week of really bad sleep again (I know I will but would rather not!). Anyone else notice a change in behaviour/sleep when their hormones are raging, or is a bit of the seven month devil dog period that everyone talks about?

Grandmashazzie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 What about trying an Adaptil diffuser.It releases pheromes to reduce stress.I used one when I got my puppy and he was very settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 If she is a week or so into her season she will be rather desperate to find a mate. It should settle but an Adaptil wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmack Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 She's settled a bit thank goodness. I will certainly look into the pheromone stuff thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
