HI guys my 2yo has a fear of dogs barking (we obviously don't have one) he is quite timid around them if comes across one but generally warms to them and will pat them after a while.

We live in typical suburbia where you have dongs barking night and day. Daytime I explain that the dogs are just letting people know they are there and are in their own yards and won't come visiting unless we open the gates and invite them. Nighttime if he hears a dog bark we have to close all of the curtains, and sometimes windows, and he has been constantly waking at night (usually hourly) and even if I can't hear the dog barking he will be crying saying the dogs is barking and scaring or annoying him.

Am in a quandary not sure how to handle the nights in particular ....
