Question

Why does my dog keep digging in the bed when we go to sleep?

Answer 1

He is making his nest. He is making his spot on the bed comfy for him. My cat does it too!

Answer 2

I was told that is a kind of "remember of his mother" he used to do that since he was born with his mother and puppy-brothers, and that remains during all his life. My mother cat do the same, and I remember when I bought that cat, I saw him doing that with his mother tummy.

Answer 3

He's getting confy of course. My wife and I have a 10lb Maltese, and boy can he dig. Yeah the covers don't move but what ever it takes to get cozy.

Answer 4

It want to have fun with its owner.

Answer 5

It's hard for dogs to overcome behaviours that millions of years of evolution have put in place. I think you're talking the right attitude, be charmed by it. Dogs may be a bit dim, but they're cute as hell. . . Unlike cats. Oooooh, don't get me started on cats.

Answer 6

It is an innate behavior that goes back to sleeping on the hard ground. If you dig...then the dirt will be loose and you will have softer bed to sleep on.

Answer 7

because he loves you!!

Answer 8

all dogs do it - most animals that "nest down" do it. My dog does it until she gets the hump of blankets in the right spot.

Answer 9

Dog themeself have their own personalitys!n your dog has a goofy one!

Answer 10

Just like you may fluff your pillows,he's fluffing his spot,to be comfortable. I think it's cute!.
