Hi everyone, I have a 10 week male dachshund that sometimes paws at me with both front paws. Does anyone know why he is doing this.
 
Probably to get your attention for some reason - figuring out what that reason is could be a bit more of a challenge though!
 
I am giving him attention at the time. So I will just have to try and figure it out,
Thank you for your reply.
 
They do this to mum when they want feeding . .hungry or thirsty maybe...pics please ..😃
 
I think it can be a self-soothing behaviour, like a child sucking their thumb. It could indicate a level of insecurity, or suggest that the pup was taken from their mum too early, or just be your particular dog's habits.

I have a soft spot for dashsunds and second Tinytom's request for photos (only if you have the time, of course) :)

He was 8 weeks when we got him, he is now 10 weeks.

Trying to upload pictures but it's saying the file is to large to upload, not sure what to do.

I found the easiest way was to tale a screenshot, and upload that - it's a smaller file.
 
This is Charlie

I have a Bichon and she loves a head massage. She paws at me when I stop until I carry on. She also does it when she wants food or the toilet. If you have a clear daily routine it’s easy to figure out which one it is.
