So, you have a dog who will always touch you during the night when he sleeps next to you in bed. This is more common than you may believe and countless dog owners have reported the same thing. Why do some dogs always have to be so close and touch you when they lie next to you? As you can assume, there are a few reasons for this. We will explain them below and we will try to reveal all the facts you want and need to know.

1. This Means Safety

When they do this, they feel safe. It is an important feeling for most dogs. Keep in mind that you are an alpha in the pack and you have the main role. This also means that you are the protector so a dog will have to touch you in order to be positive that he is secure during the night. It is a huge deal for some dogs. Even if you move him, he will come back. 

2. He Misses You

Imagine that you really love some person. He or she is away the entire day and comes home at night. Would you like to be close to that person while sleeping? Probably yes. Well, dogs are the same.

They love you and they miss you all day long. When you are finally at home, a dog will want to touch and be close to you. This is not a bad thing and something that most dog owners actually like and want to get from their dogs. There is no need to worry because it is not bad behavior.

3. Due To Warmth 

Yes, dogs are tough and they can withstand low temperatures easily. But most dogs have been living inside a house for their entire life. They need warmth and they know that this is something they can get from you. So, if you see a dog who wants to sleep close to you and touch you while sleeping, he may need heat. Try to increase the temperature in the room. If your pet still does the same thing, this is not the explanation. But, if he moves, it means that he is cold. 

4. Pack Mentality 

All dogs have a pack mentality. What this means is that they will want to do all the things together. Sleeping is one of those things. In the wild, they sleep closely together. You are part of the pack so a dog will want to sleep close to you during the night. Always remember that he sees you as a part of the pack or even better, a leader of the pack. As such, it is not strange why your dog will want to be as close to you as possible all the time, even when you two sleep.

Dogs Always Have To Be So Close

Is This Negative Behavior?

When it comes to a dog’s behavior, we can see two options. A behavior can be positive or negative. You should always encourage positive behavior and try to end negative behavior. A dog who wants to sleep next to you and touch you while you sleep is positive. It is even something that a lot of dog owners want to train their dogs to do and something that has a huge role these days. 

There is no need to do anything about this. As a matter of fact, if you try to eliminate this behavior, you can cause a lot of issues. For instance, a dog will start to feel unsafe and insecure. He will lose the pack mentality eventually and he will become sad. Dogs cannot live well when they are outside a pack. They need this. It is in their blood. 

What you should do is encourage the behavior. It will tell your dog that you love him very much and that you want him to be close to you. At the same time, this means that your pet will be happier and he will want to enjoy all the time he can with you. This means that you two should sleep close to one another.

The Final Word 

These are all the answers we can share with you. Why do some dogs always have to be so close and touch you when they lie next to you? They love you, and want safety or warmth. These are the main reasons. This is a positive behavior and something most dog owners like to see and experience. There is no need to try and remove it from your life. It can be fun and it can be the thing you two need. Maybe you will be less stressed and happier when a dog sleeps close to you.
