Well, I guess people use the word aggressive differently, but I think it's dominant not aggressive behavior. A dog often displays both dominant and submissive behavior, depending on their mood and the company. Aggressive behavior on the other hand, can mean that there is some kind of a problem that needs to be addressed. Kicking the legs up, to me, just means, "I'm tough, I'm cool, look out world, here I come." I too, love it when Joey does this; I've never had another dog do it.
