Why does my Shiba Inu sleep under my bed/couch?
Why does he do this?
he's beginning to get too big to sneak under the couch too so will he grow out of it?
my other dog only sleeps under the table (we have a bed for her) but he havent had the money to buy a bed for my new dog.
Update:in my area dog beds run about 100$ so NO, i dont think id spend that on a dog unless it was for vet bills.
we usually give them an old pillow but he tears it up. were gonna buy him durable wear.

Dogs like to have a den, a cave, a place that's safe from danger. I know he's safe in your house, but it's in their DNA to feel safer in an enclosed space. That's why so many dogs like their crates. It's the same as if you're watching a scary movie. You know the stuff on TV isn't going to come out and get you, but it sure feels better to have your back to the wall. He doesn't need a "dog bed". Get him a cardboard box and a couple of old blankets from a thrift store. He'll like that just as well.
Shiba Inu Bed
For safety, security, likes to hide as well he will have to if hes getting to big right best find a new bed soon for this one as well. my dogs run under the bed when they know they are getting a bath if they have ripped something up or do do on the floor or have to go out for the day while we are at work many reason a dog will slide under a bed.....
Hang on, you don't have enough money to buy a freaking dog bed but thought it was a good idea to acquire a second dog? Wow. There is no shortage of idiots in the world.....
Let him sleep where he wants. I mean, his owners were selfish enough to buy him and not be able to afford to have somewhere for him to sleep.
Dogs have a natural instinct where they like to have a "den". This could be a kennel, or like your dog, underneath a bed/couch. I would really suggest buying him a crate so that he can have a place to call his own.
