Me personally - I don't want my dog on the furniture, but I know many folks who have very well behaved dogs who allow them up. I don't think it is wrong either way - as long as you are still the boss whether the dog is in your lap or on the floor. I think the dog should be "invited" if you are allowing it up - not just letting it jump up at will. JMHO.
Oh I guess, mine would kind of pounce on me or nip when they wanted to engage me or boss me around (mind you this is as they get a little older), trying to tell me they wanted to play. So then I would redirect them and/or ignore it. But when they are tired and sweet and want to lay down you can invite them up for a nap or let them sleep across your feet, I suppose.
They also switch gears pretty fast. They may be on your lap snoozing then all of a sudden the next thing they are mouthing your hands.
When my young dog gets pushy for affection he licks and/or nudges my hands with his muzzle. Occasionally he'll actually grab me with one of his cat-like paws. I either pull my hands away and ignore him or I have him do a few commands to earn his attention. I give my guy a good deal of affection but, I always make him earn it one way or another...even if that's just by being calm.
