Not all dogs disturb their owners' sleep, as this behavior is less typical for them than for cats.
However, such "surprises" can happen periodically.
What are the reasons for this behavior?
The dog didn't get enough attention
Almost all dogs are highly dependent on human attention. This factor is extremely important to consider when choosing a pet.
If you are not sure that you can devote enough time to your pet, then you should consider other options, experts say.
There wasn't enough food
Sometimes we underestimate our pet's appetite and needs, so the animal may experience a feeling of hunger.
If this situation is repeated often enough, then you need to recalculate the food norm with the help of a specialist. It is also quite possible that the food is not caloric enough.
You are accidentally rewarding your dog.
As a rule, such behavior should not be encouraged. However, a sleepy owner, in order to "get rid" of the pet, offers him various tasty rewards and toys.
The animal begins to think that you are rewarding it for its behavior.
