Does your dog act out while dreaming.

[Jaredjosh]

I am currently sitting here watching my dog run a marathon and making muffled barking noises at only god knows what, while she is laying on the floor crashed out asleep. I don't know what she's dreaming about but it looks like she is having a good time. She's got her legs a moving and just making her own little sounds.

Well I hope she's chasing squirrels and having a blast and not being chased by a big grizzly bear or something like that. Who knows?

Do your dogs ever do this, act out their dreams that is?

Mine will do the same thing from time to time. His legs will start jerking and he will let out some light growls or "woofs".

look that up on youtube. there is a good one of a dog doing just that and then he suddenly wakes up and takes off running into a wall it's great!

My dogs do the same thing your describing.

We have a 90lb German Shepherd and a 50lb mutt. It's fun being in the bed when they both start running...

Mine does the same thing. Or lay on her back spread eagle and chew lightly on her front paws. Not enough to hurt or I think she would wake up.

All 3 of my labs did/do it.

I've got two Pekingese that often fall asleep in my office with me. It would be rare for them NOT to start barking/running in their sleep which is weird because they hardly ever bark while awake.

If my Lab isn't snoring so loud that she vibrates the windows, then she is yelping and woofing and running and scratching at the floor while she sleeps.

My 3 cats do the same thing. Very funny to watch and wonder what they are after.

Our dogs did it when they were young but now they rarely do it.

It seems it's more common in puppies, at least from my experience.

my st bernard does it, its kinda noisy sometimes those are some big legs floppin around. he just turned a year old in december and seems to do it less that when he was a "puppy"

Our Cairn Terrier exhibits this behavior regularly. Ge will run, twitch, growl woof, stick his tongue out, and move his ears like 2 small antennas. It is quite amusing to watch.

I had a cat one time that fell asleep on the bed with her legs against my thigh. She started dreaming like that, and suddenly launched herself against the wall and wound up wedged between the wall and mattress with her feet up, a terrified look on her face, and heart rate in the millions. Took a minute to calm her down.

Oh yeah, our's was adopted at about 12 mos. old from a county humane society. Some of her wild times crop up in her sleep.

It's funny that I saw and read this post right when my lab started doing this very thing it's hilarious to watch them act out their dreams and it does make you wonder what they are dreaming about
