Hello, it sounds like Shadow needs some further entertainment. You can provide her with additional toys and treats to keep her entertained and busy. Additionally, she should be exercised and maintained active during the day so that she can become tired and sleep at night. Toys you could consider include Kong toys which will definitely entertain her for some time. Hope this helps and best of luck.
