[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really sympathetic and not opposed to bark collars, but not for a six month old puppy getting left behind downstairs. Your expectations are unreasonable. Not unreasonable for life! If that’s what you need, rehome the dog.

Otherwise for bedtime I would do a short leash attached to your waistband and just let the kids adjust. Or a baby gate across the door in your room, and the dog stays in there. Being able to see and hear you all may be enough.

For the night, I don’t really think it’s reasonable to ask the dog to sleep alone and perhaps more importantly, there’s nothing you can do about the barking from upstairs. I’d put the crate in your room. Do a pee just before you go yo sleep and if there’s any noise before 6, shake a can of pennies or a quick spray from a spray bottle. No positive attention for barking and absolutely don’t get up. [/quote]

OP, why on earth did you get a puppy if you have a 3yo?[/quote]
