Other than the metaphorical meaning of this statement, you should never startle or quickly wake up a dog. The dog may become disoriented and feel threatened, and then you have to contend with a dog bite. Or, with constant waking in this manner, a very crabby dog who gets mean when disturbed.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8Ba
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

The phrase is let sleeping dogs lie. It means don't wake the dog up and get him riled up.. or in other words don't stir up trouble. A sleeping dog is causing no trouble coz he is asleep..

I believe the saying is, "let sleeping dogs lie." It means to leave well enough alone, or don't stir up trouble when things are going smoothly.

In A nutshell...this means to leave well enough alone. Don't stir things up...I know I am answering this cliche with another cliche, but that is basically it. If things are quiet, leave it alone.
