Nocturnal Dog... Help!

I would try a 10-15 minute training session before bed to try to work his mind.  You might also have success feeding him his evening meal from an interactive toy such as a buster cube or tug-a-jug (if he's not a toy shaker). 

To tire our guys out, I walk/run them in the evenings, as well as do short training sessions right before bed.  Most nights, their dinners are served from a kong or some type of interactive toy, so that they have to work for their food.  If their sleep schedules do get screwy, then I make them stay awake from the moment I get home until bed time.  No naps usually equals them sleeping all night.

ahhh Katie -- you two ladies and your "pirate" dogs!!!!!  (Jack is Pirate's 'cousin' *grin*)

He's acclimating and he's not liking sharing you probably.  This is a training thing, Katie -- everything that Amanda said.  Tire him out BIG TIME, the Calms has to be given about an hour before bedtime -- and it's not going to PUT him to sleep -- it's a relaxant.  But you could add a passionflower capsule or a valerian capsule probably 15 minutes before bedtime as well if you want.

Give him an x-pen or some area in the bedroom that's his ... just a comfy bed.  It will take you a few days, and maybe weeks to accustom him to the new routine.  "Nope, Jack - time for sleep."  I'd keep him on your side of the bed if you can -- you can crate him if you need to, but not if he's crated all day long.

Just be consistent Kate -- same thing every single night.  Don't try to do something different night after night after night.  It will just promote more angst.

Make sure he is getting LOTS of one on one time with *you* -- he's likely not liking sharing you.  Consistency ... CONSISTENCY ... I know it's a dreaded word, but it's what will work. 

*YOU* humans will have to suffer for a few nights to get him trained.  Removing him will only make him more ang-sty and unhappy.  It could also make him resent your fella even more. 

 Thanks Ladies! Last night we did calms and LOTS of playtime before bed. He stayed in his "big boy" room un-crated with all his toys, beds, blankies, ect. He did very well. We didn't hear a peep all night!!!!! Yesterday morning I dog proofed his room so that he could be un-crated and the whole time I was working I kept him in there with me playing. I'm also going to get some "busy" toys for during the day. He won't really play with hard toys, but I would like to get something that I could put food in. Any suggestions for something good???

My dogs love their Busy Buddy's.  :))
