Many people are fascinated when they come and see our puppies about why they twitch so much when they sleep and is it normal?. The simple answer is yes, it is totally normal and in actual fact we would be worried if they didn’t twitch a lot when asleep. Many studies have found that twitching while asleep is very important when raising healthy, well developed puppies. This ‘activated sleep’ or REM sleep in which  twitching, kicking, rapid eye movement and or vocal noises occurs, is said  to help strengthen, develop and build muscle as well as creating neural connections to help motor coordination.
