She has done this since the day she arrived (rescue- no history) and I’m wondering if it’s a natural thing some dogs do or if she was trained to do it.
When she wants to sit on the sofa she turns her arse around and plonks it on the sofa and keeps her front feet on the floor. She very rarely climbs up front feet first unless it’s bedtime and she’s settling for the night or if she is getting up properly to lie down for a nap.
