Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | How can you tell when your little one wants to be picked up Niyah will hang at my feet and walk around by them. Then I go to reach for her and she backs up three feet or so and I hang my arms down and tell her to come and then she comes to me and I pick her up. I am just wondering if she just wants to hang at my feet or is this her way of wanting me to pick her up?

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Then that is how you have "trained" her to ask. She thinks she must do all those steps beforehand. All of mine place their front paws on my legs to be picked up.

| Pistol will also put his paws on my leg to let me know he wants up. If I ignore him he will paw at my leg, like HELLO I'M WAITING !! sometimes he is so impatient. |

| Stella used to stand up on her back legs and lick me, but since we worked on "down," now she mostly just puts her nose up against my legs and hangs out by my feet. Occasionally she adds the head tilt for extra "pick me up" factor. |

Tonight, I was laying on the couch and she keeps putting her paws on the couch because she is only 3 lbs so she is not big enough to jump on the couch and when I reach down to pick her up, she takes off and runs around the couch and comes back and does the same thing over again. She is just too funny. Now she is teasing me

| Maddie "dances" arround and then lets out a playfull growl sound she keeps the little dance up usually till I reach for her. Copper is really funny, he turns his back to me at a slight angle so he is in the perfect position for me to lift him and if i ask him if he wants up he usually lets out some sort of noise or snezzes he even helps me out by hopping up at the same time I lift. if the turning his back doesn't work then he will resort to pawing at my leg

| When you ask Lucky if he wants you to pick him up, he turns around to face the same direction you are. He doesn't like to look over you shoulder when you hold him, LOL. |
