Most dogs do it to have their belly rubbed. It is also a submissive behavior, the dogs is showing that you are the master.

She's either comfortable like that or she's showing you that she recognizes you as her dominant master.

First off I think it would be comfortable for them if you are scratching their tummy. Second I would think it would be a sign of submission.

What is a dog's moan?

Moaning is a normal means of vocal expression for many dogs. Your dog moaning is not a sign of an ailment or abnormality, but if you think that your dog is moaning excessively it may be a form of complaint, due to physical or emotional discomfort. It seems moaning varies between breeds and individual dogs. Some moan when sleepy or when their sleep is disturbed momentarily, while others might moan when being caressed or while playing with a toy.

How do you train a Miniature Pinscher to lie down?

Have the dog sitting first, then take your hand (which should have a small treat in it) and put it in front of the dogs face. Then lower your hand down to the ground- the dog should be lying down now. Once it lies down you can say the Command of "Lie Down" and give the dog the treat- repeat as many times as needed until the dog learns the command.


Why is it bad for dogs to eat laying down?

I've never heard that it's bad for a dog to eat while lying down - they do it all the time in the wild and dogs regularly chew on bones and toys while lying down. Sometimes, a very large dog will have trouble reaching a bowl on the floor and raising the bowl a bit higher will make it easier on their joints and help them swallow. Elderly dogs may have the same problem. It may be more important that they don't eat too fast, or drink a lot of water after eating a large quantity of dry food. This seems a very odd problem, if your dog is having a problem lying down and eating, give your vet a call. Using an elevated dog feeder will remedy the problem: If a dog lies down to eat it is because its dog bowl is too low. Many larger dogs tend to behave like this. It is not healthy for a dog to have to bend down to reach its food: They might develop neck and muscle pain.Oh my! We love the Whiner & Diner dog feeder. Our poor rescue Husky had been laying down on the floor to eat because his bowls were not the right height. Your beautiful stand has solved this AND looks amazing.Thank you so very much!
