If Your Dog Puts Their Paw on You, THIS Is What Theyre Saying!

🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your pet — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/ That paw on your knee isn't a demand for a biscuit, and your dog isn't trying to boss you around. It's one of the gentlest things a dog knows how to do, and most owners have been reading it wrong for years. Steve Cooper has fostered more stray dogs than he can count. Here he explains why dogs put their paw on you, starting with Tucker. Tucker was a brindle foster dog with one white foot, and every night at nine he set it on Steve's knee. You'll learn why your dog paws you the moment you stop petting him and why the "dominance" explanation is mostly wrong. You'll also find out what a raised paw means when you're upset with your dog. It usually comes with three other calming signals: a lip lick, a yawn and a look away. Steve also shows a simple, free way to teach a calm "sit" instead of pawing, without punishing your dog. Next, we cover your dog's nose and paw pads, why he presses that paw onto you instead of the cushion, and what it means when your dog paws you while you're crying. That's where Duke comes in, the boxer the whole block called pushy. You'll also learn when sudden pawing is a reason to call the vet. Stay to the end to find out what your dog did with that paw before he could even see or hear.
