Do your dogs follow you everywhere?

[crazedACD]

Romeo does. He's a creeper, he always hangs out very close by. Something is very very wrong if he is not watching me on the toilet or helping me do a project. Even out in the yard...the other dogs, I let out, and they go meander and sniff and hunt critters. Romeo goes out, pees, and comes right back to the door to see what we're doing.

Skye does keep an eye on me at all times but she isn't quite up my butt like Romeo.

 

[Toller_08]

Yes. Journey is always near me and follows and watches closely. Mostly because she just likes to be with me, but also because she always wants to be ready to do something at a second's notice haha.

Dance follows me too, but is more independent. She likes to know I'm in the same room as her but doesn't care a whole lot more than that most of the time.

The Dobermans do follow me a fair amount as well, but they've learned not to follow all the time unless there's something in it for them otherwise it's a waste of their time. They've become good at waiting. They're always curious as to where I go though.

 

[Lyzelle]

Sorta. Zander is a creeper and wants to know where you are all the time, and sometimes he'll be right under your feet.

But most of the time he just comes to check, then wanders off aimlessly.

 

[Dizzy]

Simple answer. Yes.

Fred will follow my other half too, but bodhi generally is more inclined to stick with me. They both follow me though... Everywhere. It's annoying sometimes!!

 

[Brattina88]

YES Bailey is the resident tripping hazard she's been stepped on many times and she just doesn't learn. Its like she needs to be touching me... Unless I am clear with my limits she will "settle" on command and go to the dog bed, or the couch if I am just sitting in my chair watching TV. But the second I'm up, she follows me.
My house is small, if you're in the living room you can pretty much see wherever you go in the house (unless you close a door) so Maddie doesn't really see a reason to get up lol

 

[GoingNowhere]

no, not really. Although she always happens to be sleeping underfoot when it's time to make dinner She's often nearby, but it's not like she's a constant shadow. She's often in the same room, but sometimes doesn't seem to care.

 

[Beanie]

Pepper sure as hell does.

Payton hates to miss out on any fun... and also likes to spend at least half his life guessing what I might do next. "OH you're up! Are we going outside? Downstairs? Are we going in crates?? FOOD??" He will always jump up if I get up (or move.) The question is... am I faster than Payton? SOMETIMES.

Auggie may or may not - I think at this point Auggie knows exactly where I'm going, sometimes before I even get up, so instead of jumping up, he evaluates if he needs to move... or if he can just continue laying on the floor playing with his ball because I'm just going to go pee and then will be right back. 99% of the time, he evaluates correctly. Eight years together will do that I guess.
Either that or he just assumes Payton will handle whatever so he is just going to stay here playing with his ball.

 

[Emily]

Pretty much always. Keeva isn't above chilling on certain chair in the living room because she can see where I'm going and what I'm doing from it, but even she mostly follows me room to room. Blossom and Macky are up my butt. And Ollie sometimes too.

My mom says I look like the Pied Piper, with a trail of dogs behind me. lol

 

[Catsi]

Grace is quite happy to snooze on the couch or bed if I'm up and moving around, but will come and hang with me 75% of the time.

Abby is my shadow. In fact, this is slightly embarrassing, but sometimes I can almost imagine she's my daemon (from Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials books) lol.

Right now she is in between my feet as I balance the laptop on my body lying in bed.

 

[JessLough]

Yep, Rosey was always wherever I was.

Renegade likes to be right at my feet. He doesn't want me to TOUCH him, he just... wants to be RIGHT THERE. Then he gets super offended when I kick him across the room while walking. Nacho just wants my mom. He doesn't notice when I'm gone. If Ella is coming to you, you're about to get bit, so you better watch out.

 

[Sekah]

This may answer the question:

I can't shift slightly in my seat without Cohen checking to see if I have plans to move. Closed doors are merely a suggestion to her. Yet, no separation anxiety whatsoever.

Mega is more concerned with being comfortable than keeping tabs on us.

 

[mrose_s]

Buster does most of the time.

Quinn used to a lot more but we've been trying really hard to build her independence and confidence over the last year and now she chooses to sleep in a bed on the verandah alone a lot of the time. I'm fine with that.

 

[sojello]

Ruby is with me at all times. She even stalks me when I'm going washroom :yikes:

 

[Fran101]

Yup.
even when he KNOWS I'll be coming right back.

He isn't annoying about it anymore. He used to be one of those *oh are you pushing me away let me LEAN into your pushing, gravity is so hard* but now he knows to give me some space when I need it and is content as long as I'm in sight.

 

[HayleyMarie]

Pan and Teagan are pretty independent. So in saying that they do not follow me all over the house. They are both very good at entertaining themselves. But they do like to know where I am in the house.

I chose independent breeds for a reason, Velcro dogs annoy me lol
