    Hello

    Thanks for all your help and advice with getting Jet in the car - he's stopped barking now Now We just have to sort out the whining in the car

    Now I have another question - Jet today has started taking himself off and sitting against things (facing out), the garden wall mainly but also the ledge to the French doors. He seems fine just we've never seen him do it before and was just wondering if anyone had any reasons or is just part of the 'Labrador lean'!!
    Thanks

    I think its the Labrador Lean ! My Sam is the same , he even likes his duvet bed against a chair so that he can lean , and in the garden, he likes to be next to a wall too, plus he enjoys leaning into me too x

    Mollie is an extreme example!

    It's crazy! I've been reading so much and some of the stuff is quite remarkable. I'm sure other breeds aren't quite as 'out there'!

    Cooper sits like that also. Her back legs are really long, and she seldom does a "Proper" sit, unless she is on alert.

    George does it, too! He's always accidentally slamming doors and spooking himself by sitting down too suddenly against them.

    Oh I love this! I'll get a pic of Jet doing it tomorrow when he's tired of helping me garden and post.

    Charlie leans on everyone, but the funniest lean is when he sits upright on the sofa when anyone looks at him he lets himself free fall back sinking into the cushions with his front paws in the air waiting for a tummy rub :D x
