My dog just totally...

Barked in his sleep! His little paws were moving like he was running in his dream!

 Best part? We've had him two days and haven't heard him bark yet, so this is my first time hearing his voice! 

 Do all dogs dream like this?!?

Re: My dog just totally...

  • Mine do. Especially Collins. She's even woken herself up with her barking in her sleep.

  • How cute! Both of mine do, but one does it much more than the other. She only does it when she is in a deep sleep though and it's not her normal bark, it's a very high-pitched bark/sigh noise. If it happens when she's sleeping on me while watching TV I'll mute the TV just so that I can sit and listen to and watch her.

  • Our lab does that. During the day she has a thing for sleeping on the tile by the front door, so you can sometimes hear her movements and she makes little yippy sounds. One night she must have had a nightmare or something. She woke herself and my H up screaming like someone hurt her. We checked her crate and there was nothing.

    Our boxer has only done the noises once or twice. Though his paws move. He snores too much to make any other noises.

  • Jasper (our lab) does this ALL the time! It's cute - he also snores louder than a bear...

    Dakota rarely does this, so when she does we stop and watch/listen. 

  • Foxxy does this really soft "wuff" in her sleep :) I love it!

  • Both our dogs do this. It is so cute! I love it! The one really gets into the yippy sounds. Just remember that they are sleeping hard at this point and not to touch them. Lots of people get bitten by otherwise very nice dogs because they startle them while asleep.

    This is what Gloria does too, and her paws twitch.  :)

  • Mine don't bark, but they 'boof' and it's so cute because their lips flap when they do it.  My GSP also has nightmares from time to time, and he'll wake himself up howling the most mournful sound.

  • Junie (my larger lab mix, who I am sure has coonhound in her) will often just start howling in the middle of the night.  Every time she does my FI and I just start giggling, it's  so amusing.  Olive will often make what we call monkey noises when she is sleeping really deeply.

    This is exactly what it sounded like!
