I've been watching your video on establishing pack order in the family and I recall you mentioned when a dog raises its front paw and places it on you; I forget the meaning.
Full Question:
I've been watching your video on establishing pack order in the family and I recall you mentioned when a dog raises its front paw and places it on you; I forget the meaning. This seems like a statement of superiority to me, but I think you mentioned it is actually one of submission. Should I allow my dog to do this? Please explain...Thanks

Cindy's Answer:
When a dog raises it’s paw when you approach or lean down to pet them or put a collar on, it’s a sign of submission. When a dog comes up to you and puts a paw on you, it is a pushy or dominant behavior. I do not allow my dogs to paw at me and I advise people to not allow this behavior.
