Conclusion: Pawing means your dog wants your attention. If your dog puts their paw on you while you're spending time together, it's likely an expression of affection or the gestural equivalent of “pet me more!”

Read More »Your dog’s paws do some amazing things–they offer protection from rough terrain, they help regulate foot AND body temperature, and provide traction when the zoomies strike. Your dog also uses their paws as yet another way to communicate with you, by gently, or not so gently, placing them on you. Whether intentional or instinctive, pawing is a communicative gesture—even if the message is just the canine brain going “ahhhhh” while being petted. For most of us, the gesture is so endearing, that we reinforce it by offering our own paws, in the form of more petting.

Read More »Affection aside, laying a paw is most likely your dog’s way of getting your attention. They could be saying “give me food,” or “I need to pee,” which is usually supported by other body language. Again, context will give clues about what the message is with a prodding paw. Whether consciously or not, much of the time pawing is reinforced by the dog owner’s response. The cycle goes like this: dog paws at you, it’s super cute, you give attention by petting them or laughing, dog learns to paw at you next time. While the whole thing is undeniably cute, it’s a good idea to ensure that your dog is not being pushy and demanding attention on their terms. There may be times when pawing is inappropriate, or it may become a too-frequent food begging gesture. The trick is to allow the nice kind of pawing while discouraging the obsessive, or bothersome pawing, and this is where it pays to know your dog’s body language and have established boundaries, so your dog knows that attention, and other good things are on your terms. First, rule out a real, pressing need that may be prompting a pawing—make sure that your dog is getting enough exercise, outside time, and is being fed at consistent intervals. Providing some indoor mental stimulation in the form of food puzzles or other games may be a welcome addition to their routine. Sticking to a consistent schedule of food and ample exercise can reduce your dog’s pawing tactics. Otherwise, if you want to prevent problematic pawing, make sure you’re not rewarding the action with attention. Discourage the unwanted pawing by moving the dog out of your space, says Rodriguez. You can offer a reward when the pawing stops. “Reward by bringing the praise, treat or affection to the area that the dog is in and not by inviting them back into the area that they were being demanding in,” he says. Of course, if your dog is pawing to alert you to danger or an urgent need, respond appropriately.
