its spine and its nose is located not far from his tail if you spot your pet lying on its belly beautifully bent this may mean one of two things first it's either late fall or winter outside and your pooch is trying to conserve as much heat as possible the alternative doesn't involve getting cozy quite the opposite in fact the snowball position allows an animal to get up on its feet quickly in case of danger in short this is a guarding position most of the time dogs don't sleep deeply when they're curled like that this way of sleeping may also mean that they feel insecure and need protection and comfort the pancake does your fluffy friend love nothing more than to spread flat on its side and extend its legs aha that's the pancake position in this position dogs sleep and rest really well even if the day hasn't been too tiring the pancake is the most restorative position for sleep and in most cases that's exactly when REM sleep occurs so don't get spooked if your doggy starts to kick and paddle out of the blue it's just acting out its dreams there's one thing you can't be sure about if your pooch is flattened against the floor on its side it doesn't want to be disturbed it needs some quality rest your pet may even try to opt for a secure place where it's unlikely it'll be disturbed also if a dog sleeps on its side this means that it feels completely safe after all it doesn't feel the need to cover its vital organs only when dogs feel comfortable and trust the people surrounding them can they allow themselves to sleep in this position such dogs have a very strong connection to their owners and families Superman isn't this a hilarious position for a dog to sleep in when both its front and back legs are stretched out far it looks as if your pooch is about to fly off and save the world does it mean that you're the owner of a super dog well you never know what your pet does when night falls in any case many puppies can be spotted napping in this position they sleep this way because they're energetic and this position allows them to get up on their feet with ease as soon as they wake up or in case of danger but some breeds still sleep like this even as adults if you notice that your adult dog prefers this position it may indicate that it feels hot perhaps it's been a sweltering day or your dog has been playing and exercising too hard your dog may be simply exhausted what more explanation is that your pooch is full of energy and is prepared to play whenever you decide to wake it up curled up in a ball you can sometimes catch your pet curled up in a tight ball with its tail wrapped around its body and its paws neatly tucked away this way of sleeping resembles the fetal position in humans both people and dogs curl in on themselves subconsciously trying to protect their vulnerable inner organs in this position dogs try to keep their paws throat and belly safe it's possible that something may be worrying your pet if it sleeps like this for example there's a noise somewhere nearby or the environment is unfamiliar and therefore threatening in this case your dog may need some affection and extra care some vets say that dogs who sleep in this position may not feel warm enough in this case you might consider buying a heater or investing in a nice blanket for your doggie to snuggle into but some dogs really enjoy sleeping this way and why not everybody should be allowed to have their little quirks right on its back this is what my dog likes to do if your dog prefers sleeping on its back with its front legs bent over its chest and its back legs extended you'll probably guess that it feels at ease this is the most relaxed sleeping position among dogs the belly and the throat stay unprotected and these are the most vulnerable parts of the body if your pet sleeps on its back it means that it fully trusts you and feels comfortable with you however this position may also mean that the dog is hot or it became really tired during the day in any case it's a good sign if your dog chooses this position often it means that your pooch feels confident and brave and can adapt to different conditions easily the dead cockroach this position is a variation of sleeping on the back the only difference is that when your pet assumes the dead cockroach position its paws stick out in the air at pretty bizarre angles we bet you can't help snapping dozens of pictures with those stretched out legs and for good reason - they look really funny even if this position may look a little silly it's really a positive one it means that your dog feels completely happy and safe moreover animals that sleep like this are usually independent and calm on the other hand by sleeping in the dead cockroach position your pet can be cooling off you must have noticed that some areas of dogs tummies aren't as fluffy as the rest of their body these practically bald spots are intended for hmm let's say ventilation in this position when you're poor overheated ball of fur exposes its belly to the air it has more chances to cool off quickly than in other sleeping positions the Sphinx has your dog picked the position of a sphinx for its rest in this position the front paws are stretched straight in front of the animal while the back legs are tucked under the sphinx position allows your dog to take off running as soon as you call it not many dogs sleep this way and this is kind of a transitional state between wakefulness and rest this position is often chosen by dogs that are either unsure about their surroundings or about what they're supposed to do next if nothing important or dangerous happens your dog may just roll over on its side and get some more serious sleep the Burrow are can you dig it does your dog seem unable to fall asleep if there aren't any closed pillows or blankets at hand or is it better to say at paw hmm actually anything that can cover a dog will do if your pooch is a burrower it needs more affection and attention than any other animal when such dogs snuggle into something cozy they're searching for security and comfort and here's a bonus how to understand that your dog is
