Why does my dog lean on me?
|
|
| Ours does the same thing... It seems like she just wants to be as close to us as possible |
| Mine do that too. I think it can be a few things. The dog is feeling uncomfortable and is leaning into you for support/protection. Or, because your dog loves you and is 'hugging' you. When Wendel and I first started going to class, he would sit on my feet because he feels a bit nervous, he didn't know why he was there and what all the other dogs were doing there. |
| dreamer leans on me any everyone |
Summer leans on our legs, quite nice when the weather is cold  |
| Tiggy leans on my legs especially if she's tired or stressed in class. I think she just likes to be sure I'm close. |
| Comfort and security. Babette does this to me and we are working on not letting her, I have to step back so she cant, she is going into the showring soon and when I stack her she leans on me. Was told at classes not to let her do that as she is looking for a bit of comfort and security in an unknown enviroment. Some do it if unsure of what's going on or a new situation and allowing them too, also reinforces that its OK to be unsure.  So at home OK out and about step back so they learn to stand on there own 4 paws  |
