Anyone else's dog obsessed with holding hands?
My boy absolutely loves it. If he's laying near you he wants to hold hands, and just idling holding isn't enough for him. You've gotta stroke or squeeze on his paw. Try to let go and he reaches to keep a hold of your hand. Just idly hold it and he'll flex and reach the same as if you'd tried to let go. Let go and refuse to regrab when he reaches and he'll keep pawing towards you, switching to the other paw if you continue to refuse him. Refuse both with your hand still in a place he says "you should be holding my hand" and he'll start trying to get nippy to get his point across.
