9 Dog Sleeping Positions and Behaviors: What They Mean

If you're a light sleeper

If you can't sleep because of Fido's snoring and dream sounds, it might be time to give him a place in the house where he can sleep without making noise.

If your dog isn't housebroken

Dogs are cute, and it's nice to smell dog breath instead of your partner's bad morning breath when you roll over. You can't always trust a puppy to hold their pee, and mattresses are hard to clean.

If you have health issues

Give your dog a great toy or a Kong stuffed with peanut butter, so the crate becomes a great place to go.

If your dog has health issues

Always make sure to take your dog to the vet for checkups and shots, and make sure she has the latest bug and tick medicine.

If your dog doesn't like your bedmate

If your partner sneaks over to your side of the bed, your dog might growl at him. You might find it cute. But a dog that is jealous can make more than just the bedroom a mess. 

If your dog thinks bedtime is playtime

"If your goals are to sleep and sleep with a dog that is not making noise with a toy, then limit to quiet toys or toys not making noise."

If your dog is pushy

Some dog trainers say it's important to teach your dog how to behave. They need to learn to wait to eat and leave before running out the door.
