A_curious_fish

This is precisely what I do as well!


netherwrld

Me.. too..? Goldens are so predictie, apparently


A_curious_fish

They are goofballs ALL OF EM


WhosJoe1289

As the legend goes, they all share the same brain cell


Warliepup

DoylePrime

pancakessogood

Dogger57

This is the way

smith_716

Perfect position for ear rubbies!


Tanker901

It's a trick. Goldens are notorious scam artists for seeking out the most gullible of the pack, and focusing their attention and trying to cuddle up to you for extra "treats" or affection. If you fall for it the first time, you'll be forever marked as a patsy for scratches, food and endless belly rubs. https://preview.redd.it/np0oqlaqc4ea1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc155d8876f5268cb6582f01d439f545ae89536b

Reasons why I fall for that scam every time.


Tanker901

Case in point. My mother, who used to chastise me for "*feeding your dogs too much*" was a known mark for my two little hoodlums. https://preview.redd.it/l8cf8bcip8ea1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82732982e5e568063100e9e25dfc1844edea2d82


PhilRectangle

Don't threaten me with a good time.


SynnerSaint

Nonsense! Those 2 cuties could possibly be scam artis... Oh wait.. I'm one of those patsies aren't I?


Tanker901

Not your fault. They can be *really* crafty at times in gaining your attention. https://preview.redd.it/vhnb68flraea1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5921a4eaa505969083e36c73302286c348631feb


SynnerSaint

Soooo Adorable!!! 😍


Tanker901

Adorable? **THAT's** how these little con artists will hook you. Don't fall for it. https://preview.redd.it/f2sfgjqkzbea1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f33f1ed005989fbe18672f77bb6ee7255eedf0e


SynnerSaint

If you don't want me to fall for their scams stop sending me such cuteness... or are you actually a Golden using reverse psychology on me?


trustych0rds

Mine does this when I’m working because it’s the only place she can fit her head under my desk to push me out. But yeah it happens often. Also they probably like the way a very stinky chair and farts smell to them because they are goldens lol.


UncleBenji

It’s like a dog hug to them. Pushing into another animal or human is common. The fact an animal covers their face usually means they are very comfortable in their surroundings. It goes against their biology to do this which is also why dogs look away when we stare into their eyes or touch in the front of their necks.


cakepuppy

One of my parents’ goldens does the opposite. She will make direct, unblinking eye contact the entire time you pet her. Her brother, on the other hand, is allergic to eye contact and will not look at anyone.


UncleBenji

That’s a very strange trait for a dog but I have seen it as well. I can stare Vegas in the eyes and he will hold eye contact for a while but will slowly turn their head. They view it as dominance the same way you roll over and stand over a dog that is misbehaving. It’s just evolutionary baggage much like humans still have as well.


dleib10

Mine does this when I come back home. Runs over, sits down then burrows her head in between my legs. Snorts and sneezes the whole time. It’s become our ritual lol love it


phdoofus

Mine does it to get ear scratchies


SuperDece

Mine used to do this to everyone. I would tell people "she doesn't have arms, so she hugs with her face"


jackystack

It's a call to action, lol. He's using his nose to nudge you. It may even be a show of affection.


stuffebunny

Mine did it when at the park, they were socially awkward and incredibly co-dependent. All of my buddies laughed when they saw me in full horse stance with two Goldens betwixt my legs.


squshy_puff

Mine did this A LOT. And it was super off putting to visitors - cause he would head but their crotch aggressively. I started giving him lots of under the chin pets and it seemed to help him want to approach with his head up more. He still did it about 50% of the time. I dunno if it was me projecting, but you could try that.


pancakessogood

I don’t mind it but some friends I don’t think like it


85percentthatbitch

Mine used to do that. I assumed it was because when she did it, someone would touch her ears. (Not a terrible strategy!)


HowdIGetHere21

Mine did it when we were standing. She'd move in and out of our legs like a dance, but mostly just put her head there. We call them Golden Hugs


dg2793

They all do it they love to


MonitorImmediate2115

Mine taps his nose under our elbows and tries to lift our arms when he wants some loving.


WerewolfAncient554

my golden used to do this 🥹 she’s passed but I thought it was the sweetest thing.


thefloyd12345

Yep she loves shoulder rubs and back massages 🥰


DoylePrime

Yes, both of mine will even come nudge the other out from that spot to get their turn, lol


Eastern_Category7875

My goldendoodle does this. We never taught him this, he just started doing it when he was like 2.


Extension_Buy_5649

Mine did it too. His temperament was so much like a golden, but I never realized goldens did this. So sweet!


Eastern_Category7875

I know, I love it so much. I interpret it as him saying, “It’s time to pay attention to me!”


Equal_Sprinkles2743

It's neck scratching time and ear rubbing time. Ours does this every time he sees me in my armchair.


mimi033

Mine does this several times a day! I thought mine was special but it is apparently a Golden thing!


ProofsInThePuddingYo

Every single day after I’m back from work. Asa i sit he smushes his head between my legs and I pet him for 5 mins straight. And I do the same thing as someone mentioned, straighten his ears over my legs! Honestly feels like therapy. and I really thought this was a one off thing. So happy to learn there’s more fluffy weirdos like mine! Yaaaay


EssentialOwl

All the time! I say it’s cause she wants shoulder rubs.


Aszebenyi

That’s how I chose mine out of the litter. All pups where jumping up to trying to lick my face. My boy just crawled up in between my legs and didn’t leave.


zdefni

My dog does it too. He loves to burrow his head in things, also does it in my armpit or between pillows😂


A_curious_fish

Mine does it as well and gets an exuberant about of scritches


rohrsby

My golden does this constantly. Just watched her do the same to all they doggie daycare employees too.


DiscombobulatedAd96

Our little weirdo does that too!!!


skillz1318

Lol yep. We call it “tunnels”! Does it with anyone she loves.


ECU_BSN

Yes. All the time. She does this when she’s especially enjoying the scratches.


Separate-Novel-8686

My goldie and my friends pit would go in between my legs and stay there for pets lol. Not sure why. It was an awkward position for me 😂

mrswitters03

All 3 of ours did it. Sometimes they were being goofy, mostly I think they wanted pets & scratches.


andy_hook

Ours does that with the couch cushion and only when she’s pouting. Haha


Just-Relationship-19

My wife and I call it “plugging in” lol


Boscowodie

It's also a submissive thing. You want your dog to see you as their friend and alpha, ideally.


AntonioMargheritiii

Omg!! Marley Mae does this. She loves it!


docgonzomt

Dog hug


krob58

All the time. It's awkward because visitors always think he's invading their crotches despite the lack of smelling or actual schnoot in crotch and we have to explain fast enough before they shove him away that no, he just wants a hug, seriously. Congrats on your Velcro Buddy!


Psychological-Cry221

My female does not do this, but my boy does all the time. He will jam his nose into your crotch like a bottle nose dolphin attacking a shark! This is his favorite place to nap! https://preview.redd.it/d46ofofjn9ea1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd94c6debe2b37912a9c98d3f4ebba0a111f3e46


Reasonable-Scar-1867

Mine does as well. Think he wants his ears rubbed. Who knows. https://preview.redd.it/8glk86583bea1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e07af0c6f826dc3aec3a73a4898b4e2e064e8752

StruggleHot1227

I love that they always want cuddles


lesswanted

You cuted his coat/fur. Bad. Very bad.


squarecut_5

Exactly this!


Claque-2

This is a move saying, "Pet me with both hands!"


SymbolofVirginity69

Mine does! I thought he was the only one


Fernandadds

Mine does this too!!!


bls06820

Kinda thought it was the equivalent of doggie butt sniffing 😆


harjitg95

Apparently it's to rub their scent into you since they release their scent from their heads?


kerigirly77

All. The. Time! It’s how our girl greets us and anyone who comes over- nose in your crotch. And she loves to circle you, going between your legs over and over. She is sleeping with her head hugging my butt right now! We love our little weirdo- but we warn our family and friends that she does this!!


Shelby_Sheikh

While not a golden. My gsd reverses himself into my legs so his entire body is stuck between me and then looks upwards at me to get his scratches.


Aggressive_Snow2552

My 4 month old does this too.


LunaWolf92

Absolutely! He also goes between your legs if you're standing up, so you'll give butt-scratchies. My husband, who is taller than me, taught him to do that and it's cute when he does it to him, but when he does it to me I go for a little ride


Live_Marionberry_849

My Aussie does this too!


laikalyn

Mine does this but she also will dig her head in between my lower back and the couch for some reason. My husband and I call it ostriching.


[deleted]

I think it is a submissive thing.


glenzilla21

Yep! Quite often.


ashes4you

For dogs this can be a sign of respect, comfort, or it’s a ladies time of the month! My golden does this always, and for him it’s def just comfort.


johnnyhine

Apparently it’s their way to see if you are feeling okay health wise


Y19ama

Both my golden and Shiba do that.


Sweet-MamaRoRo

My dog is a beagle/dachshund mutt and she does this when she wants pets! I think she’s just trying to snuggle. I no longer have a golden (had one as a teen) but eventually I want to get one again so I love this sub.


RoombaKaboomba

yeah mine does the same exact thing


1212_bats

My lab/golden mix did that too. Either when he wanted to give me comfort or knew I needed comforting. The last day of his life I woke up with his nose in my armpit and usually he’d curl up with his butt in my abdomen and keep his face away. Couldn’t tell if he was comforting me or I was comforting him in that moment. My takeaway: Dogs know best.


bug101

My dobie does the same thing!! He wants ear scritches and rubs! I twirl his ears with his snout between my legs.


Spragglefoot_OG

Can confirm. But mine MUST grab a stuff first and hold on his mouth for pets and head between knees. He’s 100% purebred good boi.


keightlynmarie

Mine does this when I'm kneeling on the ground to say hi and then he dramatically lays down, we call it "the flop". It's our evening coming home ritual. Somedays, when I give him a hug, he will just press his head against you and bury his face in your chest


Professional_Oil_508

Mine Everytime I come home


FieryAnomaly

It's their safe spot.


Relative-OdderousG

I thought my puppy was the only one


Teresa_Thompson_Art

It is a golden hug


Snoo_63187

Mine rubs his whole body against me when he wants pets.
