You can tell how your dog feels by the way he sleeps.

We'll tell you what a dog's sleeping position says about its emotional state.

What does a dog's sleeping position mean?

If a dog sleeps lying on its side, it is on guard, ready to jump up at any moment to ward off danger.

If a dog curls up into a ball, this may indicate either that the animal is wary or that it is simply cold.

If a dog sleeps on its side, without covering its throat and stomach, it feels safe.

When a dog sleeps on its back, it is completely relaxed and enjoying it.

Puppies and young dogs under one year of age often sleep on their stomachs with their legs spread out to the sides.

This pose indicates the dog’s energy, readiness to wake up and play at any second.
