Why is my dog so clingy? Is it me?

Hi Dad..remember it’s all about me Okkkk?
If you've been wondering why your dog has been extra clingy lately, & if it's something you're doing, rest easy, it's a common behavior.
Doggos are naturally social animals that form strong bonds with their pawrents, seeking attention & affection. However, excessive clinginess could be a sign of anxiety, stress, or even an underlying health issue.
Signs of clingy behavior include constantly following you, restlessness, barking or whining too much, & frequent need for attention.
To address your pooch's clingy behavior, it's essential to understand the underlying cause & provide the right support.
Training, socialization, exercise, routine, and positive reinforcement are key factors in helping your dog become more independent & confident.
Sticking to a consistent schedule, gradually introducing your pooch to being alone, rewarding calm & independent behavior, & seeking professional help if needed are all valuable ways to reduce clingy behavior in your pupper.
Remember, every dog is unique, & what works for one may not work for another.
By watching your pup's behavior, picking early signs of clinginess, & making the steps to address them, you can help your pup feel more comfortable & secure.
With patience, understanding, & a good approach, you can support your doggo in becoming more confident & content in your absence. 🐾 MORE HERE
