Re: Leaning and sitting on feet?

Ok, so what is the answer then? Some people on here say it's affection, some say it's dominance. From all that I've read on here, it's pretty much split 50/50. I've been wondering this myself since I know Rotties are known to lean on legs and sit on feet, but Max doesn't do this to me. He'll sit on hubby's foot now and then, but of he's around me, he's sitting nicely. I always thought this was because he's been trained to sit on my left or in front of me due to OB. If it is truly dominance, then I want to tell my hubby to not allow him to do that going forward. Or does this leaning thing really depend on the dog? ie. if a soft dog does it, it's affection but if a more dominant dog does it, it's dominance? I'm very interested in what the experts have to say on this as well!
