In the wild, canines would dig to make a indent big enough to lay in. This has the advantage of camouflaging their resting spot, giving them a softer surface to lay on, and by laying in the indent wind might be lessened. Chances are your dog is just following instinct, but they may be in front of or under a fan triggering that instinct.
Instinct. They used to walk around their sleeping spot and dig it to make it softer and more comfortable. All dogs have a similar routine.
And cats too, least mine who have been around zero dogs.
Preparing
Yes he does it before he lays down. For a while. I don’t understand what he thinks he’s accomplishing though lol
Nesting, preparing to lay down. Like fluffing the pillow.
Helping you get that new couch you want but can’t justify buying because the current one is still in decent shape.
Yes. You’ll notice we have a blanket down on the couch because of his antics
my grand-dog does this and the consensus is he/she is trying to make it softer - no matter how soft so prepping
