Thats good to know. My wife and I both work, but we are lucky that my mom can come over 2 times a day and let him out and play with him. At this point, I don’t mind getting up to let him out, it is the barking afterwards for 3 hours that drives me nuts. I am hesitant to go let him out when he barks because I don’t want to reward his barking with being let out of the crate. I don’t want him to think that if he barks, he will get to come out and play. It is just exteremely frustrating that before our week away from him, he was sleeping through the night, but now he wakes up at 3 and barks all night even after I let him go outside.
