Reasons Your Dog Follows You Everywhere

Dogs follow us around because they want to help us. We need them to protect us and our homes. This is normal behavior. Even a small dog can believe it needs to protect you.

There is something cute and amusing about a Chihuahua or Poodle that feels the need to guard and protect an adult human! The Poodle Club says even Toy or Mini Poodles are known for velcro and guarding behavior.

Following Behavior in Dogs Why it Happens

Dogs have first domesticated about 15,000 years ago. They went from being wolves who lived in packs to dogs who lived in packs with people. People used dogs for companionship. Dogs also provided people with food, shelter, safety, and protection.

Dogs are loyal pets who love to play with you. Some breeds of dogs are independent and may be less likely to follow their owner. Others are more attached to their owners. Toy breeds were bred to be your friend and will stick by you forever.

Herding dogs were bred to herd livestock or other animals. They were used by farmers to protect crops and herds. They are loyal to their owners and will follow them everywhere. When they get older, they learn how to work independently.

4 Specific Reasons Your Dog Follows You

1. It’s Time For Dinner or a Walk

Dogs love routine. When they see their owner coming back home, they’ll be waiting by the door. And when they’re hungry, they’ll come looking for food.

2. They Want Attention

Dogs are loyal companions who love to be with their owners. They’re also smart enough to know when their owner wants them to do something. When a person gives a command, a dog will usually obey. But sometimes, a dog will get into trouble if he follows too closely. This could cause someone to fall over, or even injure themselves.

3. Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety is a very serious problem for many dogs. Some owners may even be afraid to leave their dog alone because of how anxious he gets. This can lead to other problems such as aggression towards people.

Separation Anxiety

4. They’re Afraid

Dogs are afraid of loud sounds because they think those things are dangerous. When our dogs hear loud noises, they want to be close to us. This makes them feel safer.

Creating a Healthy Balance

Dogs who love attention and affection should be given plenty of time together. This helps them feel more secure and less anxious. But if this doesn’t work, there are other ways to help calm them down.

Dogs need physical and mental exercise to stay happy. Toys and treats near the dog beds help dogs feel comfortable. Training commands such as “Stay” and “Place” helps dogs learn how to behave properly.

Dogs need to learn how to behave properly. If they’re trained well, they’ll follow commands and obey orders. Dogs should never be allowed to eat at the dinner table or sleep on the couch. A professional dog trainer can help teach dogs proper manners.

Should You Be Concerned About Your Dog Following You?

Velcro are usually harmless. However, if your dog keeps following you everywhere, then you should take him to the vet. He may be sick or injured.

Pet owners should be careful about how they interact with their pets. They should avoid rewarding unwanted behaviors by petting them. Instead, they should ignore those behaviors and give rewards when the desired behavior occurs.

Dogs should never be scolded for following people around. This can cause them to become fearful and clingy. A vet should be consulted if your dog suddenly starts acting more dependent than usual.

Veterinarians examine dogs thoroughly to make sure there aren’t any health problems. If everything checks out fine, then trainers can help owners train their dogs.
