According to our trainer, dogs pretty much sleep while you're sleeping or out. And on average, the sleep around 20 hours.
yeah.... my response to that was.... do you mind communicating that to the brat dog Tasha?
We put her in her crate around 10:30pm and hear activity (her let me out, I'm awake and demand attention noises which get ignored) around 5:30 am
She's in there during the day when we're at work. So on average I would say she sleeps around 16 hours MAX.
course, she's still a pup.
