Nightmares are much more common in dogs whom have experienced trauma, or an abusive experience in the past.

If these behaviors are more aggressive, a loud barking, shaking, etc.

it may be a sign your dog is not dreaming, but having a nightmare.

Do dogs have bad dreams?

  • Common signs that your dog may be having a good dream are twitching, kicking and making quiet noises. If your dog is growling, crying, appears disturbed or in my case, is screaming, you can assume he is having a nightmare or a bad dream. I suggest waking your dog up if you feel he is having a bad dream.
