We currently have a full house (people and dogs) and various people working/coming and going at all hours of the day and night. Since my son has moved back in with us, Roscoe's been sleeping in our bedroom, initially in his crate, but he's been sleeping in bed with us for about a month now. The transition from crate to our bed hasn't been a problem at all and made no difference whatsoever in the barking. The problem is that Roscoe now barks (and won't quit) every time something (be it person or dog) wakes him up.
I'm drawing a blank on figuring out how to train him out of this since all the methods I've been using involve clicker training, treats, distractions, etc. However, it's the middle of the night when he's going crazy with the barking. I've been trying to teach him "quiet", but so far no luck.
Any ideas about how I can get us all back on track for sleeping through the night once again?
