Putting him to bed was no problem i would settle him in read to him give him a kiss say night night and come out leaving the door open. But lately everytime i come out he cries and screams so loud its horrible. i'm terrified people think im hurting him which i'm not. i love him to bits. i just need some advice with what to do with him on a night to stop this screaming. i have also just got a rescue dog. The rescue dog will not sleep in her own bed so the rescue dog gets on mine. do you think my son is jealous if? so how do i deal with it without rehoming the dog thank you

 If the night time screaming and the arrival of the dog have occurred at the same time, I would say that the dog is the issue for your son. If you want the dog to sleep in its own bed, you have to take charge, and put it there. You are the boss. If you don't know how to, you may need to take the dog to obedience training. As for your son, maybe try a night light in his room, something to change the atmosphere in his room and distract him. Play some soft music maybe. You will just have to experiment with different things until you find a way to settle him. But don't fall into the trap of putting him in your bed. If your son is scared of the dog, take him with you to the obedience training and get him involved as much as possible. If it doesn't work out, you might have to rehouse the dog. Good luck.
