This sounds to me like she is just dreaming. Malone does this, too, and sometimes he barks (only they are like half-barks), eats (chews & swallows), and his legs twitch like he is running. I wouldn't worry about that too much. But best of luck to ya!

Welcome to Pet Talk! I would take her for a really long walk/run right before bed time, and then I would make sure she has plenty of toys to chew on at night if she's bored. You need to establish, though, that YOU are in charge!
