Re: Leaning and sitting on feet?

The dog sitting on the kids and being left alone in a room unsupervised with the dog, gave me the chills. I will admit that my dog leans and leans (not all the time but sometimes) on my children and myself. Though I don't think on her part this is dominant behaviour, why take the chance. When this happens, she is given the sit command. Since her leaning tends to be when she is standing. She has 3 seconds (and that to me is being generous) to go into a sit position. What happens next if she doesn't sit, I step to the right and let her topple side ways to the floor. She is learning that leaning is not acceptable.
