Why is my dog suddenly sleeping in corners? Is he anxious or sick?

Question

Why all of sudden would a dog sleep in corners?

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

Many dogs sleep in corners when they are anxious about something in their environment, such as during a thunderstorm or if there are fireworks going on outside. It makes them feel more secure. If this is more of a general behavior change with your dog, it may be related to age - some older dogs will have changes in their sleeping habits and sometimes in their overall sleep-wake cycle, similar to what sometimes happens in people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
