Why Does My Dog Hide In Dark Places And Whine?

My dog hides behind the couch or under the bed and whines - sometimes for several minutes, sometimes until she falls asleep - this is a new thing for her - she also seems more "clingy" than usual - right under our feet everywhere we go - what might be making her act this way?

    Did you have another pet that died that your dog was pals with or did new changes take place in your home?  Do you think someone is being mean to her when you aren't around?  Has she been injured?  I just read about something like you asked about.  It says that animals will hide if they are in pain.  Have her checked out by the vet, you never know.

      Maybe because  it has a fear of something or you should spend more time stoking it.

        Was she in heat recently? It could be a phantom pregnancy. I had a dog that used to do this about 2 months after her season. We figured out she was looking for her puppies, which would have been born by the time she started acting weird. This was confirmed by squeezing her teats and finding she had milk. The only thing to do was either let her have a litter, get her fixed or give her her own special teddy that she can mother for a few days. Mine carried hers everywhere for a week, each time she had a season.

        You might think that this is odd, but did you recently move into a new place? Does the dog stare into corners or certain areas of the home? I am asking because animals are sensitive to good and evil, on a level that is more intense than people are. There could be something like a ghost around your home, or an energy that is making the dog nervous. If you want, call a spiritualist, and see what they say to you. And if you don't believe, then I apologize for bringing it up to you. Hope this helps though, good luck.

        I have thought of that - and believe me, I DO BELIEVE!!
        Hi, dear, this is a comment from the questioner Trisia, converted for her.

        However, we have lived in the same house for 7 years (before she was even around)
        I have heard a lot about phantom pregnancy, and that seems to be a lot of her symptoms. Thank you for your input though!! ------- Trisia
