Puppy has started barking in the middle of the night!

I have a lovely 14 week old jack russell x patterdale. We live in an apartment so need to be conscious of our neighbours but she hasn't really barked all that much so far.

However, as of last week she has started barking at 2 or 3 am every night. I think what sparked it was my partner is a doctor and he had some late shifts where he was coming back in the early morning and waking her up. She started barking before he even came through the door.

Now he's gone back to his normal shifts, she's continued to wake up and bark in the middle of the night. If there's something she can hear and is reacting to I can't hear it.

I am really worried about the sound affecting my neighbours. She doesn't do this through the day ever. I have tried putting white noise on to drown out any other noises she's hearing but I am not sure its helping. Is there anything else we could try?

I've only had one person guess right in the wild, but I think this group is going to be better than the average person on the street! Good luck
