Passed Out
Another pose that a dog might take if they are tired. However, if you see your pooch do this, you should be careful as this pose could mean that your dog is overheating and attempting to cool off. This pose is when a dog swings their paws across their chest. Let your dog get some rest if they are doing this.
Belly Curls
While this pose is cute, it actually means that the dog is not having a good night’s rest. This is referred to as the “belly curl,” which is when your pooch sleeps on their belly and their paws are underneath them or out to the sides. They won’t reach REM as their muscles are tensed. Shy and gentle dogs often sleep like this.
