My Chihuahua Puppy Follows Me Everywhere

Have you ever wondered: Why does my dog follow me everywhere? The answer has to do with your pup's animal instinct and pack mentality. As dog owners, we love spending quality time with our pups.

My chihuahua puppy follows me everywhere. I have a 3 months old puppy and he's definitely one of those very sensitive and shy dogs. He follows me around whenever I'm around, and if I'm out of sight, he'll cry/whimper and everything. My boyfriend and I both work, and I can't keep taking days off or returning at lunch time to check on him. He jumps out of his pen when we're out... I'm afraid he'll pee and poo at the wrong places while. Without meaning to, many owners mistakenly reinforce their Chihuahua's excited behavior, causing a slightly nervous, hyper or aggressive dog to display even more of these behaviors. Proper training and reinforcement, coupled with nutritional and health support can eliminate most of these behaviors and turn your Chihuahua into a calm, enjoyable pet. okay so here i go... my chihuahua Pinky is the cutest lil guy ever hes 5 years old and hes the size of my shoe. he loves kissing me, he sleeps with me and my husband sometimes and he follows me everywhere!! i take him everywhere with me too. if my husand and i are watching tv in the living room there he goes and lays down between us if we kiss is a problem if we hug is a problem i cant even go.

Try not to reward clingy behavior. Ignore your dog if he follows you around or demands attention, and reward him when he lies quietly. As an older fellow, he is likely experiencing more aches and pains. Provide him with a soft, easily washed bed located close to you, and teach him to use it. They are little and are like caring for a baby. We got our dog when she was only four weeks old and she became very close to my mum and used to follow her around everywhere-she still does! Your puppy could also follow you around because he/she doesn't want you to leave as it doesn't want to be by itself. The puppy is looking upto you, are you the top dog in your house? if so then he will defo follow you. He will eventually grow out off it but not for a while i have a 10 month old puppy and it follows my dad around everywhere never leaves him alone. It is totally normal. My cat did it as a kitten and she still does it. She even has to be in the same room as me, when I have sex. I tried to shut the door, but she just meows and meows. Maybe your puppy thinks your are it's mother. My cat also follows me into the bathroom. I think it is sweet. She is 4 years old now.

By Cheryl Lock. That second shadow that’s constantly beside you isn’t a figment of your imagination — it’s probably your dog. As anyone with a furry friend will already know, dogs are often inclined to follow their owners everywhere they go and to watch their every move, but there’s actually more to this behavior than meets the eye. I have two Chihuahua's, ages 1 & 2, they are both female and no more then 3-4lbs. I LOVE them dont get me wrong but its scary that they follow me everywhere cause I almost step on them all the time. I've tried to keep then in the hall way sometimes but when they see me all they do is cry and cry to get out. and at night I also try to keep them in the hall but they cry to get up into bed with me. If you have ever thought, “ why does my dog follow me everywhere?”, then this post is for you. Reasons Your Dog Follows You Around If you have yourself a “velcro dog” who is right there on your heels no matter what you happen to be doing, it might grow to be a little bit of a nuisance. The puppy follows me everywhere and watches my every move. Whether it’s from one room to another and back again to grab something or to the toilet or have a bath, he is by my side. He cries and howls when I leave him at home to go to he shops briefly and strangely, when I come home his face and paws are soaking wet…I don’t know what he.

The quick-witted canine is also hard-wired to cling to his pack, even as an adult. Not only does he enjoy the camaraderie that comes with being part of a community -- canine or human -- but he also knows from instinct that he should keep close to the key alphas in his life who provide shelter, safety, and belly rubs. My bichon frise is basically my shadow but I love it. He gives me so much love. I think the fact that I have been the one taking care of him since we got him 2 years ago is why he follows me and sleeps with me every night. When I come home. Hes crazy excited to see me jumping barking but he doesnt do that with anyone else in the family. Just me :) My dog, Roxie, has been strangely getting more clingy than usual. This morning at 4:30 AM she had woken me up because she begins to want to lay under my bed and scratch the wooden floor. She has never done this before. Typically, Roxie is to her self for being 13 years old just loves to be left alone. She likes to sleep on her 5 different beds. my dog is glued to me follows me everywhere - we are working on PLACE on a mat - will not stay. He also barks and tries to nip family members when they leave a room that i am in with the dog - especially when they try to leave the kitchen with food i have just pre-paired for the - he attack them as they exist the room.
