Why does a dog “dig” its bed before going to bed: dog handlers explain
Very often dog owners have noted that their pet suddenly began to “dig” his bed before going to bed, ignoring the bed that was specially bought for him.
At first glance, it may seem that your four-legged friend simply does not like the sleeping place you have arranged.
However, in reality the reason lies elsewhere.
So why do dogs try to "dig" their own bed? The answer to this question will be revealed in the second part of our material.
Remember this reason
The fact is that at the moment of such mischief the dog is guided to a greater extent by instincts.
Man's best friend was once a direct descendant of wolves, who, knowing that they were most vulnerable during sleep, tried to rest in deep holes where they would not be seen.
If you have more than one dog living in your home, there may be another interpretation of a dog's attempt to dig a bed for itself.
Representatives of the canine family have special glands on their paws that produce a scent that can be recognized by any other animal.
Thus, by “digging” the bed, the four-legged friend can simply indicate that this particular place belongs to him.
