Sleep? Who needs it?
How important is sleep for a dog? Very! Dogs need around 16 hours sleep a day!
Without those many hours of rest, a dog can easily develop serious behaviour problems. Here are some tips to help your furry friend get all the sleep s/he needs:
- Teach your dog how to relax and chill out.
- Make sure your dog has his own space to do that in – my Bobby killed his last bed and has been struggling to get proper rest ever since even though he has access to the cat beds, my bed and the sofa.
- Make sure that space is conducive to proper rest, i.e. it’s quiet or with relaxing music, but he can see you. Out here in Dubai, I’d say, if possible, also make sure the bed is not in the full-on sun.
