It might be that he doesn’t associate night time with sleep. He might sleep more during the day and then be awake at night. Try and stimulate him more during the day.
It’s not usual for a dog to piss so much at night.

It’s strange because when we’re all in the house, he doesn’t usually bark in the middle of the night unless someone walks past with their dog or he sees a possum.
I will try to stimulate him more during the day. Maybe if he goes for an extra long walk, he will be exhausted. He generally does sleep at night unless he’s left alone.

Buy a Kong and fill it with peanut butter and throw it outside. He needs to feel safer outside on his own.
Does one of your parents take him outside to piss in the middle of the night? Dogs form habits. Sometimes you have to break those habits quickly before they become problematic.

I’ll fill a Kong with peanut butter stat.
He normally goes out by himself at night through his door, unless my mum is not home. If he barks at me tonight, I will get up and take him outside.
Thanks for your advice!!
