What Your Dog’s Sleep Position Reveals

1 What Your Dog’s Sleep Position Reveals

1. Sleeping with head against you

Means it especially trusts you, feels very safe with you; such dogs are gentle and loyal.

2. Sleeping belly-up

Means it is defenseless at home, trusts the owner very much. Such dogs are carefree and independent.

3. Sleeping at your feet

Shows the dog loves you. So it follows you everywhere, clinging to you.

Only later bored, it quietly sleeps at your feet, always hovering for attention — loves you and follows.

4. Sleeping curled in a ball

Usually gentle, friendly, good-tempered;

this position protects the dog’s limbs, face, throat; shows they lack security, give more care.

5. Sleeping prone

Prone keeps the dog’s muscles tense, can’t fully relax; such dogs are energetic and adventurous, but usually gentle.

6. Sleeping on the side

Side sleep lets the dog rest fully; often side-sleeping means home is safe and comfortable, trusts the owner very much.

7. Sleeping twisted

Maybe played too wild outside, fully relaxes at home; but only if it trusts you enough and is confident, adapts quickly.

Tip:

Actually, sleep is their most defenseless time, and the current sleep position often reveals its hidden mood and character.
