Yorkiemother, I completely disagree with you. The dog wanted attention, and he/she asked for it in a playful yet non-overbearing way. I don't make my boy sit, dance, or do some trick for every pat, cuddle, hug, or kiss. Maybe it's a matter of preference. I have taught Kaji to get my attention in a similar manner when he needs something. I figured, how else will I know Kaji is hungry, needs to go potty, or wants my attention? Kaji isn't in my face about it, but he's also way smaller than the dog Zack has, which might make it look worse than it actually is. The dog is bigger than our yorkies so the nudge, nuzzle looks worse than it really is. |
Maybe this isn't the same thing, but I don't make my boys wait for me to initiate everything. My boys usually do a sit in front of me if they want or need something. However, if I don't see them, they will gently paw at my leg to get my attention. I am very happy that they do this because it is usually to inform me of something important, like I need to dispose of the piddle pad, or I need to check for a hair in their eyes. Sometimes they just want loving, and that is okay with me too.
