The Belly Curl
While this pose may appear to be adorably cute, it actually indicates that your dog is not getting a good night’s sleep when it lies down in this position. This is referred to as “the belly curl.”
The Belly Curl
Dogs can’t reach REM sleep because their muscles aren’t completely relaxed when they sleep on their belly with their paws underneath or out to the sides. This is a common sleeping position for dogs with a gentle and shy personality.
Curled Up Like a Fox
Another cute position is when a dog curls up completely like a fox. When your dog’s paws are under his body and his tail is wrapped around his body, reaching his face, he’s probably cold.

They adopt this position in order to retain as much body heat as possible. So, if you see your dog sleeping like this at home, simply cover them with a small blanket.
