Barking in kennel

[designatedvirus]

I have a 3 year old French bulldog that has suddenly starting barking in her kennel in the middle of the night and then early in the morning (3:30 am and then again at 6 am). I have been letting her out to pee, but then she tries to run up to sleep in the bed. This does not happen every night, but is increasing in frequency. Any tips to deal with this new behaviour?

@designatedvirus Need a lot more background, but is it possible she's too cold in the kennel as she's seeking out the bed?

@designatedvirus Is it winter where you live? Could she be cold? Maybe that's why she's barking to get out of the kennel and into bed with you - seeking out warmth. You could try covering her kennel and adding a blanket

@nier This sounds spot on.

@designatedvirus This is Too vague, it could be anything from wanting attention to being cold to not being properly kennel trained, just wanting food etc.
