Right question at the right time, Gadhu is off to sleep. He was more active when light wasn't put out. โœ… Dim light works best for him, see when it comes to getting scared, ensure Jake doesn't feel lonely at night. Only if he feels comfortable should you turn off the lights or let him sleep in a separate room. When Gadhu was even smaller, he always made me keep the room lights on. Gradually he started preferring dim light at night.

yes. ' Though a fear of the dark isn't super-common in dogs, it does sometimes occur. A light-up collar makes your dog glow at night!

You'll know your dog is afraid of the dark if he tucks his tail between his legs once the lights go off.

dogs aren't scared... but maybe pup (due to anxiety) Because my doggo Always sits in the dark room.๐Ÿ˜‚ GOOGLE :- According to Animal Planet, dogs can see in the dark better (although differently) than humans. It is better to consult a vet (in case, if you are worried).

So it might seem strange that a dog would become anxious by darkness. However, the dark might worsen vision for dogs who are already experiencing vision problems.
