Puppy Question?

Hi, I have a miniature Italian Greyhound and they always want to be on someones lap, I am keeping the dog anyway but i was wondering if there is anyway to break it from always contstantly wanting to be on somebody? Any help is appreciated. And what is the top weight on them? I need any interesting information.

1. Say "no" and put it on the ground. Problem solved.
2. SAY NO AND WHEN HE GETS DOWN GIVE EM A TREAT HE WILL ASSOCIATE THE DOWN WITH TREAT GIVE IT A FEW WKS GOOD LUCK
3. They were bred just for that reason, that is what they do best. I have four of them each one is a different in a lot of ways, but they do most things the same. They like being covered up, and if he is not covered he might want to be on your lap because he is cold, they also like beds high up off the floor, I had to raise their beds and each one has his own cover. They are also dogs that like a schedule more than most. They like lots of love, and praise with food , if you yell at them they hold a grudge and that makes it hard to train. They are the only dogs I know that love each other, even when I bring in a rescue from time to time, they just accept them in the pack.
