Why Do Dogs Circle Before Lying Down?

That little spinning routine before your dog settles in may be more than just a quirky habit!

Wild canines often circle their sleeping spot before lying down. This behavior may have helped flatten grass, check the area for danger, and make the spot more comfortable.

Even though your dog has a perfectly cozy bed waiting for them, that ancient instinct can still stick around. 🐾

So the next time your dog does three circles before taking a nap, they're basically following a very old bedtime ritual!
