5. They’re a “Velcro dog.”
Velcro dogs are clingier and need more attention than other breeds. Working dogs (like Dobermans, Great Danes, and boxers) and herding dogs (like collies, shepherds, and corgis) tend to stick to their humans a little closer than other breeds. It’s because they think that you two are working together: at any moment, you might give them a command that they need to follow.[5]
- Velcro dogs aren’t experiencing anxiety; rather, they’re just ready for the next task or job that you decide to give them.
- If you’d like to take a breather from your Velcro dog, try giving them a “job,” or a new command to complete. Try “sit,” “bed,” or “crate.”
6. They’re waiting on a walk or food.
Your dog might be waiting for you to complete their routine. Most dogs keep track of their routines, including what time they go on a walk and what time they get fed. If you notice that your dog is following you to the bathroom at certain times, they might just be waiting on you to complete their routine.
- For instance, does your dog only follow you to the bathroom in the morning? They might be waiting on you to feed them breakfast or let them outside.
