Not actually a serious problem, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight / a similar dog.
For background, DDog is a rescue with a slightly murky background, but has been with me 2 years. He never liked being picked up, and would start wriggling in about 2 seconds if picked up. Through a process of always putting him down when he wriggled (so he always knew it was on his terms), he came to be comfortable with being picked up, though it's incredibly rare for him to ask to be picked up.
Except if I hug someone. It doesn't really matter who it is, he'll be jumping up and down at our legs and wanting to join in. He's not happy unless he's picked up (and preferably ends up sandwiched in the middle of the hug).
Anyone else got a dog with a similar quirk?
