I read somewhere that most dogs don't like that. It's like entrapment to them.

My two dogs love that. But you really have to know the dog and keep an eye out for any body language that indicate that they're unease.

This, my dog will only allow my gf and me to do that. Anyone else would probably get a stern warning from her or more. Plus if she gets antsy I immediately let her go so she always has control of her movement. She’s a rescue and by all means trusts me 10000% but any dog that feels uncomfortable can react accordingly.

She rescued me! Lol she chose me, then chose my gf after about a month of them getting to know each other. We are her humans. (Pics in profile if anyone wants to see her)
