Dogs are the same when they are at home as opposed to an unfamiliar location.They are much more relaxed & in a protected environment. They discovered some notable variations.

In non-invasive comparative and translational cognitive neuroscience, including sleep research, dogs have emerged as a key model animal. Study by author Vivien Reicher, a Ph.D. candidate at the Ethology Department of Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary, according to Treehugger.

Comparing dogs’ sleep patterns to those of wolves, the dog’s closest wild relative. It provides a unique opportunity to better understand the effects of domestication and cohabitation with humans on sleep phenotypes and physiology. This is because dogs and humans have a shared evolutionary history and social environment.

The researchers add that because sleep is influenced by a variety of factors. Such as physiological requirements and evolutionary history, it may differ between species.

According to Reicher, “helps us better understand the core and more species-specific functions of sleep and the factors impacting them.”

Canis lupus is the genus that includes both wolves and dogs. Despite the rarity, they can legally interbreed because they have more than 99 percent genetic similarity.

Wolves mature more quickly than dogs?

Puppies of both wolves and domestic dogs wean at around 8 weeks. However, according to Regina Mossotti, director of Animal Care and Conservation at the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka, Missouri, “Wild wolf puppies mature more faster than domestic dog”

According to studies comparing the intelligence of wolves and dogs. Wolf pups are significantly more capable of solving puzzles at an early age. It makes logic, too. They must mature more quickly in order to survive in the wild, in contrast to domestic dog puppies who require our care. Life is a little bit simpler now, she claims.
