Hi
Our 20 month old GSD has developed a very strange unsettled nervous behavior when she is inside the house with us. She paces about grumbles and the barks at the slightest noise, movement or sometimes at nothing. This is happening in the middle of the night as well. She sleeps in our room and always has but has become so unsettled that we moved her cushion into the walk in robe. She seems a little happier in there. However she is barking at birds outside in the middle of the night or little noises. She seems to be frightened. We try to ignore her and not reward the behaviors but it is very difficult. She appears to settle when she goes to the shack where she sleeps in her "tent". This behavior just seemed to appear out of the blue about 6 weeks ago one night when we returned from the shack (she loves it there). She is a barker but this is very unusual nervous behaviour. We are getting desperate!!
