Most dog owners might not expect to hear their dog sleep barking, they are meant to be asleep, feeling safe and cozy right? Dogs have somewhat of an idyllic life; they sleep and nap as and when they want to and for as long as they want or need to. They are fed healthy nutritious food and get to go on fun walks, play and have a cuddle time. As a daily routine, it shapes up pretty well!
Whilst dogs have slightly different sleeping patterns and routines from breed to breed, some types of dogs are more energetic than others for example, most exhibit certain behaviors and vocalizations during their sleep at some point in their lives. This may not be every time they slumber but you will have likely experienced seeing them perform running and twitching movements during their naps and heard them barking, howling or making strange quivering noises only to rush to them concerned and discover them to be soundly asleep in the land of nod. While there are plenty of funny things dogs do, barking in their sleep is often a mystery. So what is going on? What’s all the noise about?
