I am new to i live dogs and would like some help ... my redbone, age 1 and half years has recently started sucking on his blanket, and wines during his sleep while sucking... what is wrong? Please help ...

My Doberman did this through out his pampered life. So I would give him a clean white towel to use. but he did not wine. hope your dog sleeps in the same bed room with you. I also strongly suggest a bed rather then a blanket to sleep on, I have three Deluxe Slumber ball beds from Dr Foster & Smith, the 44incher. They seem to be the only ones that the right design. I keep them in the bed room (2) one down stairs sometimes the male likes to sleep away from every one once in a blue moon. When I first bought them I was sure they would not know what they were used for but the minute I took one out of the box, they both jump into it and made there little cubby holes and practice napping! My main concern here is that your dog is not in pain, or being left alone for long periods of time. Hate to say this but a second dog added to the family might help alot I know it made a BIG difference when I got our second best freind in the world to join the number one dog. Hope this helped alittle!

Sorry or being not so helpful. For my Wishbone is an outdoor boy, he loves to run, fetch and play tag most of the time. When home we always sit on our favorite spot of the sofa, he only plays with his squeaky and gnaw toys.

ive seen my dog sucks on her blanket also but it stopped... i dont know why she does that before but i think it was because she was separated with her mother earlier than expected.
