There are many different reasons why your dog scratches your bedsheets. Here, we will look at these reasons and how they influence your dog’s behavior.
Comfort is a huge motivational factor when it comes to your dog scratching at your bedsheets. Mainly due to their wolf ancestry, a domesticated dog will scratch at bed sheets to ensure they will sleep as comfortably as possible.
If your dog is scratching your bedsheets, it may signify that it is feeling too hot or cold. In the wild, dogs sleep outside. They need to find an easy way to regulate their temperature, especially at night.
The last reason your dog might be scratching at your bed sheets is that it smells something tasty. Whether it is a bone buried among the blankets or a treat that got lost in the hustle and bustle.
