Sometimes if my hand is extended outward for any reason, my chocolate lab, will put her paw on my hand. I move my open hand away, and she will try to move her paw to where my hand is at. Why does she do that?

1) She wants attention.
2) She thinks you are asking her to shake.

Mine is a black lab and does the same or almost same. She puts her big paw over my forearm 'til I tire of petting her.
It must be a Labrador Retreiver thing.

its either the dominance thing or wants a reward. sometimes when i yell at my husky and point my finger at her she puts her paw over my hand or even talks back. or when i have a treat she will automaticaly sit and give paw cuz she knows there is a reward.

You have a beauty there, she LOVES you, and will do anything to please you. Are your hands naturally warm? She senses a connection.
I don't see other answers for some time, I am in a different country, but don't worry she loves you. K

Cause she loves you, and wants you to pet her.
