Totally normal but super interesting! It's instinctual behavior passed down from their ancestors who would do similar things in the wild. What's really fun is the exact number of spins - seems like your pup's made a little ritual out of it. As long as your dog doesn’t seem stressed or obsessive, it's all good. Enjoy the quirks your dog brings to the table!

Hey, vet tech here. It's a totally normal behavior. Dogs are den animals and they'll often circle before lying down to get their bedding in just the right shape. The exact number of spins can just be a little ritual your dog has developed. Keep an eye if the behavior changes or becomes excessive, that might indicate discomfort or anxiety, but what you're describing sounds totally fine to me!

This is actually pretty normal! Dogs have some leftover instincts from their wild ancestors, this behavior could be linked to patting down the area where they're gonna sleep, kinda like making the area comfy and checking for unwanted critters. Counting the spins? Just a quirk of your pup, I'd say. Adorable quirk indeed!
