We say this over and over and OVER on this Board. They hate being picked up, too.
A dog is never bad or naughty - it is simply being a dog

Re: Dogs hate being hugged
My OH read an article on this topic the other day. He has since told me several times that dogs don't like hugs. Apparently this fact is only memorable when read online. When I say it, it goes straight through his head. 
Grammy to Sky and Sirius, who came to live with me, stole my heart, and changed my life forever as I took over their care and learned how to be a dog owner.

Maybe you should start writing articles and submitting them to sites he reads, MP
