Caves; Dark Spaces & Dogs

JustAThought · 2012-02-20 06:40:20

Sometimes I get a bit freaked out by my dog. Every now & then, for no apparent reason, I will find them dragging me to a bush or dark space where they will retreat, build a NEST , & sit, watching & looking out, & refusing to budge. Anyone else have this? Or do I have a Dracula dog :$

Dogs love small, dark enclosed spaces. They mimic the dens that their wild ancestors would have had and make them feel secure; it's the reason why crate training works so well. Mine love to curl up in a dog bed under the dining table, or under the coffee table.
