Barking at night in the crate could it be teething?

Hi again? clearly this is my first corgi and I have a bundle of questions, hope you all don't mind. We crate trained Boris from day one and he has been great, not a peep all night. We have had him for 3 month and suddenly the last week or so he settles in and then around 12 he barks all night we let him out to go potty he continues to bark. Could it be he is in pain with teething how should i correct this behavior. thanks for the help in advance

You will have to ignore till morning and it may take some time for him to stop. Everytime he gets your attention for this will make it harder. NO, he is not barking from teething. He may hurt but dogs won't bark due to pain. He is a little young to be teething also although he could be. Yes...even if you have to cover his crate and cover your ears...you need to correct it.
