Why Does My Dog Sleep By My Head
Camila Farah
Try a compromise by bumping up the heat or providing cozy bedding specifically for your dog.
If you re covered from neck to feet by thick blankets and only your head is exposed your dog could be sleeping on your head to share body heat with you. This dog sleep position gives them the advantage of being able to get on their feet immediately. Coren explains that a dog will often start to dose in lion pose and then slump onto his side once he falls into a deeper sleep. The dog s muscles are tense and ready to spring into action.
Possible reasons are that it makes it feel safer it has some separation anxiety it s being protective or you might have reinforced the behavior by rewarding it when it does it. Although the position lets dogs conserve body heat and protect limbs face throat and vital organs dogs remain tense. So why does my dog sleep by my head.
