Why do some dogs sleep on their backs, with their bellies up? There are no solid stats to reflect why some dogs sleep in this position, but an informal survey of dog owners reveal something like 5 to 10 percent of dogs sleep this way.
These stats are for pets only. It is not common for a canid living in the wild. Their greater security concerns are likely the reason for their unwillingness to do so. Sleepy belly up for them, leaves them defenseless to predators.
This might explain why some pet dogs are more willing to sleep on their backs, with their bellies more
exposed than others. It seems like the more relaxed, easy- going dogs are more likely to sleep in this position.
Dogs who tend to engage in this behavior seem to be more secure, well socialized and enjoy a safe, comfortable surroundings.
