Obnoxious submission
The dog exhibits submission in such a vigorous and persistent way as to displace a higher-ranking individual. A dog displaying obnoxious submission may at times continue to follow or chase a higher-ranking individual, who will move away, trying to avoid being tripped, poked, and licked.
(Goodman et al.2002)

The Boxer puppy displays obnoxious submission towards the young black mixed breed, who ignores him. The puppy rides up to reach the Boxer's muzzle.

In this interaction between two females, the Czech Wolf Dog exhibits obnoxious submission towards the Swiss White Shepherd. The Wolf Dog's head is up, and the Shepherd turns her head away to avoid contact with the Wolf Dog.
