When my dog sleeps he twitches, which I know is normal. But at night when everybody is in bed sleeping he goes to sleep too. But he howls in his sleep. Really loud. I was wondering if that is normal....?

Yes it is normal. Some dogs do it more than others. Puppies seem to do it a lot! I also noticed that it depends what kind of a day my dogs have had. It seems like when they have had a really exciting day, they do that a lot. Like they are having a really active dreams.

That is extremely normal because all dogs have dreams as well as nightmares they are also very sensitive. Every little sound will provoke them to make a noise or to react.
--the first day i got my Yorkie, she had a nightmare and started growling in her sleep, so I pet her and she calmed.
--two days later I went into the bathroom when she was sleeping, she heard the knob twist and barked.

Odd- But not unheard of. I have a kitty who will growl in her sleep- quite loudly. So I suppose a dog howling isn't impossible.

Yes, this is very normal. You're dog is sleeping in a deep sleep and doesn't even realize that he is howling. If you want to stop it, you may want to try putting a muzzle on him only while he is sleeping so that way he can't howl, but then if a robber comes he can't attack.

What kind of dog do you have?? Put your hand on him while he is sleeping, and give a gentle shake, this should help.

it's not normal but some dogs do it. my dog makes bubble popping sounds at night when she is sleeping, sometimes she even grunts and starts to move her legs like she is running. your dog might be having a nightmare!
