Puppy lays on the floor when I enter room - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My puppy always lays down with his head on the floor and looks at me after I've left the room and come back. It seems like he's apologizing for something but he's done nothing wrong. I walk in and pet his head and tell him it's okay, he's a good boy and then he goes back to normal. He's doing that for all my family members too now. It's kinda cute though.

What could it possibly mean?

Could be the attention it's getting him, they LOVE attention, well if it worked on you, now he's playing the rest of his family lol. But that's just MO.

It would appear from how you describe it that he's being very sweet, docile and submissive.

I would praise him for his calm behavior and I envy you! My dog is manic at reactive at everything.

If only yours could train mine!
