Put him in his own separate room. Close the door. Put on the box fan...And get
some peace. Our Chessie knows when he hears me exiting the shower, it's almost
confinement-time! Bedtime to us, confinement time to him. As I exit the
bathroom, he is entering his bed room and awaiting my attention! It's no lie!
At first, I had to challenge him with a firm "chop-chop" every nite, and 9 out
of 10 times, he'd trot away, and I'd have to wrangle him back and into his
room. But now, he does it all by himself! (I take all the credit. I have
instilled into him the desire to please me, me being the alpha-male and all).
He doesn't always like it, But that's just tough crap. It doesn't make you an
evil ogre to segregate the animal from the rest of the pack at nite. Just so
long as he has his food and his water and it's of a likable temperature in
there.
I don't see your problem. We sleep great and so can you. Just take the bull by
the horns,  Tivon.
