It may also be because that position is more comfortable or conducive to sleeping, or you may be reinforcing the behavior or simply only noticing their position when they are in that direction.
Why does my dog not want to be near me?
There are many reasons why dogs don't show a lot of affection. First, if your dog was adopted, his former home may have improperly cared for him — or worse, abused him. If so, your dog may have trust issues or even feel afraid of humans. Additionally, just like some humans, your dog may enjoy his personal space.
Why is my dog avoiding me all of a sudden?
A dog who suddenly becomes disinterested in his pack may be experiencing a wide range of emotions, such as jealousy, anxiety or depression. Has anything changed in your home environment recently?
