DARK SECRETS: Why does my dog scratch my bed sheets expert insights from behavior specialists | Rare Historical Photos

A dog on an ottoman at the food of a bed.

My best friend just got a new puppy, and we're both obsessed. Before she brought the pooch home, she spent hours researching dog beds, and dropped a small fortune to get her dog the very best. Turns out, it was a total waste of time: the dog sleeps best in my friend's bed, under her bed sheets. 

A lot of pet parents prefer to spend the night beside their pooch. When you open the bedroom door and allow your puppy in, you run the risk of shed hairs, soiled bedding, and scratched sheets. If you hate to see your pet in distress, but you don't like to see good sheets go to rack and ruin, you might just be at your wits' end.
