Hi everyone,
So a few months ago we got a puppy and she is always perfectly friendly and playful while awake, but when she sleeps she will sometimes wake up suddenly barking loudly with what I assume are nightmares and when she does, its a total reversal of her personality where she'll suddenly explode growling and barking for maybe 10 - 20 seconds before she calms down and returns to normal. The thing is, it seems like she only does this while sleeping on top of or near people and rarely if ever while in her cage. It makes it difficult to have her sleep on the bed at night (or even during the day next to me) because no one wants to be woken up at 4:00am with a dog freaking out. She's only 7 months old atm but she's been doing this for months now. Is this something dogs tend to grow out of or is this an issue? I've only had cats prior to her so I don't know if this is normal but I can't imagine it is.
Thanks for any advice!
