Restless Sleep

My greyhound just's flips and flops around at night switching positions. Is this normal behavior for Greys or does it just depend on dog?

My 6yo girl sometimes will flop around and sometimes I feel like I should put a mirror under her nose to make sure it fogs up!

Make sure a soft warm quiet spot to sleep try a kennel as they feel safe in an enclosed spot

Dark corner behind a chair??

Check that she is not cold by putting a blanket on her when she is curled up at bedtime. If she shakes it off, she is not cold. And check that she is not sleeping in a cold draft. Next make sure she isn't hungry by giving her a bedtime snack. If neither work, concentrate on learning to sleep thru the noise. My sister uses earplugs.

There is nothing particulary "greyhound" about a noisy sleeper. Some dogs do that, some dogs don't.

 

Since you live in NC, I doubt she's cold.

 

How much exercise is she getting?

It is cold here! There was ice on the windshield this morning and we live near the coast.

 

Trena, I'd try placing a light blanket on her. My Mazy refuses a blanket or jammies. She can be rather restless at night and eventually seeks out a different room to sleep in. Hmm, maybe my snoring keeps her up?
