Why has my dog started lying in a small corner?

Dogs often seek out small, enclosed spaces to lie down in because they feel safe and secure in these areas. This behavior can be seen in puppies, who may seek out a corner of their crate or bed to sleep in, as well as in adult dogs who may choose to lie in a corner of a room or under a table.

There are a few reasons why your dog may have started lying in a small corner. One possibility is that they are feeling anxious or stressed. Dogs may seek out small, enclosed spaces to hide when they are feeling overwhelmed or scared. If your dog has recently experienced a change in their routine or environment, this could be the cause of their anxiety.

Another possibility is that your dog is simply looking for a comfortable place to sleep. Dogs may prefer to lie in small, enclosed spaces because they feel more secure and protected in these areas. If your dog's bed is in a busy or noisy area, they may prefer to sleep in a corner instead.

Finally, it is also possible that your dog is lying in a small corner because they are sick or injured. Dogs may seek out small, enclosed spaces to hide when they are feeling unwell. If your dog is exhibiting other symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or vomiting, it is important to take them to the vet to rule out any medical problems.
