Many love it, as it shows that it is in a quiet place and therefore opts for a rested position. If your dog tends to sleep on his side, it means that he is really comfortable in his environment and is self-confident.

2. Fox Position
It’s a curling position that’s probably the most common. Hiding its paws under its body and wrapping its tail around it until it touches its face helps it naturally keep warm. Those who sleep with this pose are easy to train, gentle, and tend to be naturally sweet and passive.

We know, they look a little weird but funnily comfortable. You have nothing to worry about, this just means that your dog is very confident and sure of himself and his family environment. Why? Because when you sleep, he shows you his most vulnerable side. Dogs that sleep like this usually tend to be very relaxed but above all they are very independent.
5. Belly turned to curved
Dogs that sleep in this position are not reached by relaxing completely, but it does not mean that they are sick or completely tense, only that they have not yet reached the REM stage of sleep. This means that they are the most energetic, adventurous dogs and are always ready for action and fun at all times.

6. Dead Position
This posture is usually held mostly by dogs that sleep indoors. This helps them cool down their body as quickly as possible.

These puppies are quite adaptable to different and new situations.
