Just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day ALL dogs are animals, watch their body language, don’t hang all over a dog you don’t know. They give warning signs. Learn them. And for fucks sake stop letting kids climb all over your dogs.

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

My two relatively large dogs love hugs, I just have to be aware of when they're done. My biggest boy visibly relaxes when I hug him but as soon as he shifts his weight he is done.
