Why Does My Dog Sleep All Day? Normal Pup or Lazy Lump?

Is your dog snoozing through the day while you’re left wondering if you’ve accidentally adopted a four-legged sloth? You’re not alone! In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant, unpacks one of the most common questions new dog owners ask: Is it normal that my dog sleeps so much?

From natural canine sleep cycles to spotting signs of boredom or under-stimulation, this episode offers reassurance, practical advice, and Jamie’s signature warmth and humour. You’ll discover when to let your pup rest, how to offer gentle engagement, and why “lazy” isn’t such a bad word after all.

🎧 Tune in now and feel empowered to stop comparing your nap-happy pooch to high-energy TikTok dogs. Your dog’s need for rest might just be a sign of trust, safety, and contentment. And that’s something worth celebrating.
