If your pooch has an inclination to stand up on your lap when you're sitting down, he may be displaying classic dominant patterns. By standing over you, your dog is "higher" up than you -- if only for a brief time. Your pooch doesn't think that you're in charge -- he thinks that he's the boss. If your dog's head is much higher up in the air than yours is, the arrows may just be pointing to "dominant."
