Why does my dog sit on my lap with his back to me?


Why does my dog sit on my lap with his back to me? Your dog might sit in your lap to show affection. It's a way that some dogs bond, or keep the peace, within their understanding of pack mentality. It could also be your pup's way of initiating playtime, especially if you're parked on the ground or on the floor.


How do dogs say sorry?
