Passed Out

If your dog is overly exhausted then they will probably do this pose. They will put their paws out across their chest and stretch out their body. It also may mean that they are overheating and need a cool off. In this case, just give your pup a chance to rest.

Belly Curls

This commonly known pose is referred to as the “belly curl,” and is where the dog sleeps on their stomach with their paws underneath their stomach or at their sides. They have their muscles tensed and they can’t access REM sleep. Usually, more shy and calm dogs prefer to sleep like this.
