Why a dog won't let its owner be alone: experts reveal 3 main reasons

07.06.2023 21:26

Even if you love your dog very much, you probably want to keep at least a little personal space so that you can devote some time exclusively to yourself.

Not every dog shares this position: sometimes pets simply do not allow a person to be alone.

What could this be related to?

You have become a real "leader of the pack"

Many dog trainers teach that you need to be the leader in your relationship with your animal. This is a good position, but it also has a downside: some animals will simply follow their leader at all times.

Therefore, it is sometimes worth softening the methods of raising an animal.

You don't care about the animal at all.

Experts note that you should only get a dog if you are confident in your own abilities. After all, a dog cannot live "on its own": it needs constant contact with a person.

If you don’t walk enough, don’t train your dog, don’t teach him commands, and generally spend little time together, then the animal will try to remind you of itself.

Try to find time for your dog: human participation in life is extremely important for a pet.

Character trait

Sometimes the problem is extremely difficult to fix for one simple reason: the dog follows you everywhere only because that is his character.

Some animals can be very "clingy".

This indicates that the dog has very warm and tender feelings for you.
