Reading Your Dog’s Personality From Its Sleep Pose

Sleep poses hint at mood. Belly-up is rare—dogs are guarded and the belly is vulnerable—so a dog that sleeps on its back by you feels safe and loved, and tends to be upbeat (it's also comfy). Flat-out (legs folded) is the common self-protective pose for quick reaction, often signaling low security—these dogs may sleep under beds or tables. Side-lying is relaxed yet still ready to react; smart dogs sleep lightly to stay safe. Curled-up dogs lack security too but are usually gentle and obedient—though a curled pose can also mean the dog feels unwell, so watch closely.
