what do dogs dream about?can they have nightmares?do they dream about their owners or about other dogs?

Answer 1

I know they have nightmares, as mine does, if she is ever left alone for a day..she cries in her sleep..pitiful...sigh..and she has me well trained to take her anywhere that I can..She even goes to church!...lol
I also know that they dream about chasing critters, as they 'run' and bark and pant in their sleep, and whine as if they were hot on a trail.

Answer 2

I don't think anyone really knows for sure what exactly they are dreaming about, and if they dream, then they probably have nightmares too. It's so cute to watch them when they're dreaming, and it does make you wonder what they are dreaming about.

Answer 3

My dog is still a puppy - 6 months old today. I don't know exactly what he's dreaming, but he often quivers and whimpers in his sleep. Also, he still makes a sucking motion with his mouth at times while sleeping...he must be dreaming of his mom feeding him when he was small.

Answer 4

I had a dog that used to dream about squirrels, the reason I say that is because he he would bark in his sleep and act like he was chasing them in his sleep, that is the only time that he probably caught them.

Answer 5

Dog's dream of Running,Barking.I enjoy watching my 2 dog's dream of Running,Barking.

Answer 6

I think they dream about running, barking and playing, because their legs move as if they are running, they making yippy noises and their body twitches, what else would a dog really dream about LOL

Answer 7

i guess we cant tell for sure coz they cant tell us and theres noi way of seeing their dreams.

I no that they do dream tho coz my dog looks like he's running in his dreams coz his legs twitch and he yips in his sleep. He loves to chase rabbits so thats what we guess hes dreaming about. He can look distressed as well so maybe he does have nightmares

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?85hb

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.
