My staff shaped shadow

I dont know if its a trait or if its just because hes still settling in but Alfie follows me absolutely everywhere. I cant even go to the toilet without him following, he even jumps up at the bath when im in it. He doesnt do it with anyone else, i dont really mind it but is this usual behaviour?

Totally

If you want to stop it then do, I don't mind myself Xx

Thanks Janey, i dont mind it at all (i secretly love that its just me he follows haha) x

Very normal in my opinion. They are a breed that loves human companionship, that's why so many have separation anxiety. Logan is exactly the same lol.

most certainly Only place our 2 don't follow is if I'm in the bath but that's just because of their love of water

yep I have a shaddow here too and have used it to my advantage on recall whereby i now just call 'byeeee' or step out of sight behind a tree and remain silent it works every time

Yep Mia does the same, I love it too lol

Dylan follows my wife everywhere too its kinda strange

Very normal. Bella follows me everywhere. Even if she is sleeping and I leave the room, when I turn around she is right there lol.

thats sweet and shows he connected with you which means of course he will be listening to you!

in my house i cannot pee in piece or bath in piece

Ahhh yeah typical lol, I think OH gets a teeny bit jealous as Max follows me literally everywhere!

Very normal although Suki has gotten a little more independant with age

Lucky. I have to literally drag Lexi off the sofa and then lead her if i want to take her anywhere, shes much happier on the sofa and would not come to call if you begged her.

Yep totally normal Maggie only seems to follow me though which most of the time I love it's a pain in the bum when I'm trying to do house work and Maggie tries to 'help' by nicking the duster or chasing the hoover She will also come into the bathroom when I go for a bath, will stand on the edge watching me, funny how I can't ever seem to get her in there when its her bath time though

Very normal Steff used to follow me everywhere but recently she shifted that devotion to my Dad

I know this feeling! I dont even hear him follow me and i turn round and hes just there watching me!

I'm glad things r getting better, and sorry if I sounded hasrh before I just wanted you to stand up for yourself xx

(thought if I made you a bit mad at me you might be more forceful! )

No honestly dont be, it worked haha. Me and my boy are doing great now xx

I'm glad, resuce dogs just need a strict routine so they know where they are at! And lots of love and cuddles!

Hi, for six months after he came to us Solly followed me and OH everywhere in the house, but slowly he got more used to going to a room on his own, and knowing that we were always going to be around for him, although on occasion he does rush into a room just to check out where we are.

Zeus is the same, he doesn't follow my Mum or Sis around much, but always follows me wherever I go.

Glad things are going a lot better for you now, you both seem to have come along way from the other thread made around a week ago.

Things are loads better - he's making great progress already

Not only do I have a staff shaped shadow..I have a poodle shaped one as well

Might be settling in, might be just a traight of his. Loki was like that when he was settling in, but then it stopped. He still follows me a lot now, but it's not as close. I like it

Ha haaaa glad I read this... Kodas always under my feet. Follows me everywhere.. She could be snoring her head off but If I get up "bing" she's awake n behind me from making coffee to the bathroom.. Even gives up cwtches with wife n kids if I move.. Thought she had a little security problem but only does it with me.... Ah bless she's dads girl through n through.. Lol
