The big bed smells good
There’s a reason why there are scented candles that smell like freshly laundered sheets — it’s an amazing scent. That scent (well, preserving it) is why many humans buy their dog their own bed, but it’s also the reason why our dogs are drawn to ours.
Why Does My Dog Sleep So Close to Me?
So why is your dog so intent on sleeping in your room? Wouldn’t they prefer to roam around the house freely or take up all the space on the couch while you’re not looking?
This may be explained by dogs’ natural instincts to shelter together, coming from what we know about wolves and wild dogs. Cozying up in dens was a way to guarantee a certain level of protection, security, and warmth.
It provides them with a reliable place to lay their head and sense safety.
This desire to sleep with you is likely a natural instinct to stay close for safety and secureness. You being the head of household or of certain authority to your dog, they feel the most secure in your presence.
