Yes, Rocco "hits" when he wants something and when he DOESN'T want something. If I'm sitting down watching TV and ignore him while he still wants to play, he will stand up against the couch, and hit me on my leg repeatedly with one paw. The more I ignore him, the harder he hits, until I give in (of course
).
He also hits when I am trying to clean his eyes or look into his mouth...he'll take BOTH paws and hit me and push me away...first a left, then a right, then a left... My little prize fighter!
