Maggie knows sometimes that we want to pick her up. Sometimes she lets us, sometimes we have to trap her between us. It's often a game and I chase her around until she is between me and dad and she knows she is caught. Anyway, when she knows we are going to pick her up (like when Dad comes home I pick her up and hold her up to his face, or when we "trap" her), she will stop and sort of turn around, with her rear to me so that I can pick her up from behind, under her tummy and end up holding her the right way. She is standing in the position to be picked up. Could your dog just be waiting to be picked up when he stops? |
