Its their way of showing submission. If a dog goes on his back to you he is accepting you as his master. This is part of the answer but here's a little more in-depth version as reported by USA Today. In general, dogs lie on their back for three reasons. First, if your dog lies there totally relaxed, he probably does so because it "just feels good", says veterinarian Holly R. Nash, of Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc. in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. He must feel safe since he's exposing his throat, gut, and heart to possible attack. Or, second, he may be showing respect. Dogs live in family-based packs like wolves, and follow deference rules, controlled, perhaps, by the oldest female, says Karen L. Overall, ABS Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. So, a dog that lies down and rolls over on his back may simply be deferring to you. Dogs have let us - a different species - into their social structure over the millennia since we first domesticated wolves, at least 14,000 years ago and perhaps 60,000 to 100,000 years ago. Finally, he may be withdrawing, disengaging, seeking time alone. Note the dog lying on his back in the drawing. His chest is partially covered (with his paws). This indicates withdrawal, says Overall. In the canine world, his behavior clearly states, "Leave me alone." Disturb him, even to pet, at your own risk.
Because it reminds them of their mother's stomach and the inside the mother's womb before they were born.
Or, it could just make them feel safe and secure.
Cause they think its alive and soon going to move and when it does they can pounce on it at the right time...
Maybe your dog is just blind or dumb
Only certain Breeds of dogs do this, my dog is a cross breed and sleeps on his front, its only because they find it more comfortable
Because of all the smell coming from it like other dog pee and litter that has been thrown on the ground. Also to see if there has been any food left on the ground.
My dog will sleep nose to the wall. I get the whole protection positioning, but him facing the wall is puzzling.
Because the wall is a protection; but this behavior is not obligatory.

You may walk as many dogs as possible.Though walking a lot of dogs once may be a problem.Many dogs are calm and you can walk a lot of calm dogs at once but if walking hypoactive dogs it is better to make a second trip.
