My dog is sleeping under my bed?

I've had my dog for 4 years. I recently moved to a new place and of course my dog explored and has found her favorite spots already. She has never slept under my bed before, but for some reason she is doing it in my new place. She's a Lab so she isn't small and has to crouch and crawl underneath the bed to sleep. It's almost as if she is hiding. She only does it when I go to bed though. Otherwise she is roaming around or napping in the living room or hallway etc. She has a dog bed that she always slept on at my old place and now she won't touch it. Thoughts?

    I think that your dog is still a bit shaken from the move and wanted a secure place to sleep. If she's been trained to stay off the human's bed, then UNDER it would be the next logical choice. That way she still feels close to you, and the fact that it's small and snug means it feels doubly safe.

    You might try moving her bed next to yours, and placing an old, worn shirt of yours in the bottom. The familiar smell might comfort her enough to encourge her to stay in her own bed.

    My canines try this to. i chanced on that if I positioned one greater canines blanket interior the kennel, they'll use that as conceal extremely of the canines mattress. this is not a situation, some canines choose to be coated at at nighttime time. As for the mattress wetting, it could be my opinion purely that the breeder did no longer practice him for paper or pads speedy sufficient and he have been given into the habit of wetting his bedding. No, possibly he won't strengthen out of wetting his "front room" mattress, so take it away for a jointly as, or positioned some paper down close to it. he's basically 6 months previous, so which you would be able to smash the habit of the mattress wetting truly definitely. He sounds gorgeous as a button.

    If she's showing no other signs of anxiety, she probably just feels comforted sleeping under the bed. I wouldn't worry about it unless you think she'll get hurt or she shows other signs of anxiety.
