Guarding a human from others approaching. People like to call it “protecting” but its actually “claiming”—dog owns you. Headstrong and willful Demanding Pushy Begging Pushing a toy into you or pawing in order to get you to play with them Nudging you to be petted Sitting in high places, looking down on everything . Barking or whining at humans which many owners consider talking (without a command to do so). High-pitched screams in protest of something dog does not wish to do. Jumping or putting their paws on humans (without a command to do so). Persistence about being on a particular piece of furniture when asked to stay off (dog owns it) Persistence about going in and out of doorways before humans Persistence about walking in front of humans while on a lead Persistence about getting through the doorway first Refusing to walk on a lead (excludes untrained puppies, dogs with injuries or illnesses) Nipping at peoples heels when they are leaving (dog did not give permission to leave) Not listening to known commands Dislikes people touching their food Standing proud on a human lap Persistence about being on top, be it a lap or stepping on your foot Persistence about where they sleep, i.e. on your pillow Annoyance if disturbed while sleeping Likes to sleep on top of their humans Licking (giving kisses) in a determined and focused manner Carrying themselves with a proud gait, head held high Not liking to be left alone and getting overly excited upon the human’s return (see Separation Anxiety in Dogs ) Shared as public so even people who arent on my friends list can read it.
