what does this mean?

When sasha sees another dog, she starts running abit then lies on the ground then runs then lies down till the dogs meet then she plays.
It this submissive behaviour saying, look im friendly just want to play and i wont hurt you?
Just wondering?

Certainly sounds like it.

I would agree she is saying I am excited, I want to play. The dropping down is a I am no threat stance.

Submissive to me too

she wants to play and showing the dog she is not a threat, a dog with good manners not submission

Yes. Dog's lowering itself, making it seem smaller + more puppy-like = no threat.

I'd say she is a good girl letting dogs know from the onset I mean no harm! Then when all know her intentions it's PLAY, PLAY AND MORE PLAY! Sounds like she has this doggy meeting thing sussed he he !

Thanks for the advice guys. All she does is play. Never seen her been aggresive at all. Shes such sweet dog. I just need to get her more socialised now. bless her.
