My border collie/ lab mix Seamus is now almost 11 months old. We have had him since he was about 4 months old. Crate training him was SUPER easy. So easy that we really didn't have to do anything to train him. He loved his crate and we didn't have a problem until this past month. When we moved out of our 1 bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom duplex. In the one bedroom we had his crate in the corner of the living room because it was the only way we could have it in there (we got a HUGE crate not knowing how big he would get).
 When we first moved in we had him in the spare bedroom because we were still trying to get things organized. We knew he would probably be stressed from all the moving around so we expected some difficulties. He may be spent 3 days in that room. Since then he has had 3 weeks back in his crate which is in the living room. Every night is a struggle. There has been less whining when he first goes in at the start of the night, but he has been waking up in the middle of the night/early morning and barking. He does not stop barking. Just constant. It's usually somewhere between 2-4 AM. We tried just letting him bark till he tires himself out, but that just doesn't work at that hour. We don't want to let him out because we feel like that is reinforcing bad behavior. We usually go out and give him a "No Barking" command, and he might stop or he might not. Any other tips?
