She is very respectful the rest of the time and the CGC examiners commented on her fantastic temperament and discussed therapy work and competitions i should do with her... She responds to commands immediately, never even gets up on sofas or anything...waits for things never goes through a door first etc etc etc...

Now i don't know whether to stop her leaning on other people etc or to leave it as it has not so far resulted in lack of respect or obedience elsewhere. (I am of course aware that I still have a few months in which teenage pushing could occur but so far so good and I guess if i started to have issues the leaning could be the first thing to go?)

It seems i should maybe push her off? : (
Although i may allow some leaning on ME - if she's coming for a scratch or some affection - I absolutely will NOT allow either dog to lean (or anything of the sort) on other people. Period.
