The fact that a dog cannot relay information through verbal cues is not news to anyone. However, your pouch gives a lot of messages through body language. Wagging the tail, for instance, is a sign of a happy pup while one that is with a lowered tail is fearful. Even more important is how your pup sleeps. The sleeping position of your dog communicates a lot in terms of where they are sleeping, who they are sleeping with as well as their general feeling about the environment in which the dog is sleeping.
To be able to comprehend what a given sleeping position of your dog means, lets have a look of some sleeping positions that the pooch may have and what they mean:??
7. Crazy Legs
This is a sleeping position in which the dog lies on the back with the legs facing upwards. The stomach and other associated organs may be exposed to the air. While sleeping in this position most of the time, the dog shows signs of susceptibility to attack and a lot of comfort according to Wide Open Pets. The position shows that the dog feels very comfortable,has a sense of security and completely trusts the people who are around.??
6. Side Sleeping
Dogs like sleeping in this position especially, during naps, according the NextGen Dogs . Other dogs can sleep this way for a long period of time though. The hands of the dog are usually placed on the ground. Compared to Curly Sue, this sleeping position guarantees more comfort to the dog. This sleeping position also demonstrates that the pup feels very comfortable within their sleeping environment. Holidog Times say that a dog that sleeps this way is very happy.??
5. Superman
The opinion that this sleeping position is one of the cutest may be varied from one person to another. In this sleeping position, the dog sleeps on its stomach with the limbs stretched and the head flat on the sleeping surface. Dog Time says that this position is mostly loved by puppies since it makes it convenient for the dog to jump and start playing. It shows that the dog is lively, playful and has a lot of energy.??
4. Passed Out
This sleeping position varies from Crazy Legs only because the front paws are positioned directly on the chest of the pup while the hind ones are positioned vertically upwards. The dog may have their side or back on the sleeping surface. It may show that the dog has been overfed as the position makes it easy for the dog to cool off as a result of the exposure of the sweat glands on the paws and the exposure of the stomach. With the paws on the chest, the dog is trying to communicate that they should not be disturbed according to Dog’s Best Life. Wake such dogs cautiously.??
3. Belly Curl
Dog’s Best Life says that his position does not give the dog the best level of comfort since it does not allow for complete relaxation of the muscles. The position is the same as Curly Sue apart from the fact that the body of the dog does not curl tightly. Dogs that like this sleeping position are peaceful, calm and gentle. Some may be very adventurous though.??
Dog’s Best Life says that this position is liked by wolves as well as wild dogs given that when they are in packs, they are able to share heat and are also able to protect their stomachs. In this position, the dog sleep with the paws hidden below their stomach and the tail curled around to the face. Dogs sleep in this position if it is a bit cold or when they are anxious of the environment in which they are sleeping.??

A pouch that sleeps in this position with you is trying to communicate that you are part of the pack and therefore, you are like family. Dog Time will tell you that a dog that sleeps back to back trusts you a lot and would wish to be very close. If a dog comes to sleep with you in bed, you need not be mean and show some affection and love.
