| commented question | Why does my dog howl in his sleep? Dogs dream just like humans do! And the same way some humans talk in their sleep, dogs can howl. It's normal, so no reason to wake him up...unless his howl and whimper seems distressed, then you can consider waking him so he's not frightened. |
| commented question | Why is my dog licking the air? There are many reasons dogs may do this. Its common for dogs to lick the air if something is wrong with their mouth, such as something stuck in their teeth or roof of the mouth. Another reason is to pull in air for nausea to induce vomiting. Less common, it can just be a compulsive behavior habit. |
