The cause is he is getting too much sleep during the day. So exercise and trying to keep him from sleeping during the day should solve the issue

Anyone have any experience w/ a dog who is occasionally restless at night? -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 09:07 AM ET

Does she sleep in a crate? If not, you may want to try that.** -- HokieByWater Apr 09, 2024 at 11:42 AM ET

Having access to a crate and putting her in there are pretty different** -- Pylons Apr 09, 2024 at 01:07 PM ET

she puts herself in there a lot of the time at night... -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 01:11 PM ET

The dosing for dogs is about twice the dosing for humans.... -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 01:20 PM ET

doesn't seem to be exercise (or lack thereof) related... -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 11:01 AM ET

JoesterVT • 04/09/24 11:01 AM ET

What type of exercise does he get at night? A long walk before bed might -- RhinoVT Apr 09, 2024 at 10:04 AM ET

Good thought, but I'm not able to connect exercise with the restlessness -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 10:11 AM ET

Was Charley a shelter rescue? Often, shelter dogs - if they spent much time -- PhotoHokieNC Apr 09, 2024 at 10:02 AM ET

He's a she...from a shelter but not really (and this is a new development) -- JoesterVT Apr 09, 2024 at 10:09 AM ET

JoesterVT • 04/09/24 10:09 AM ET

Maybe Charlie identifies as a he. Could result in nervousness. -- PhotoHokieNC Apr 09, 2024 at 10:37 AM ET
