But here’s the scoop: When dogs sleep with their bellies exposed, it’s a sign they feel safe and trust those around them. It’s a vulnerable position, so they wouldn’t do it unless they felt completely comfortable in their environment. It’s a big compliment to you!
Holding onto past issues can confuse and stress your dog, who won’t understand your prolonged upset. Just like dogs don’t hold grudges, we should try to be more like them—forgiving and forgetting—so everyone can be happy and move forward.
