Re: A Herding Behavior or Dominance Behavior?

You don't have a herding problem, not sure about dominance. What you do have is a "I want to PLAY!!!!!!!" problem. All he wants to do is invite you to play with him.
It is a form of tug. Have you played tug with him? My dogs love to play tug with me, but they know that I am the one that starts the game and it is with only tug toys- not clothing. I teach them to take the tug, tug and to release the tug all on command. Sometimes I let them win and they happily brings me the tug so we can play again. I put a word to stopping and ending the tug game. Perhaps you can do the same? It may help with your current problem.
