why do dogs turn in circles before layng down?

it's instinctual. before dog's were domesticated and brought inside to lay on plush beds they circled around and made a spot in the grass. by circling they push all the grass down, and then they'll have a spot, getting rid of lumps and what not. it's something dogs have kept from their wild days.

I think it comes from when dogs lived in the wild, they matted down the grass to sleep.

I think its an instinct ... from when the dogs were wild , they are trying to find a better spot to lay down ... I think... :D

It's their way of getting comfortable.
