Hi,
Has anyone got any tips on how to build confidence in pup who is very attached to owner. Sparky our 15 week pup is very clingy and although I love a cuddle fear I may be reinforcing it's ok. It's got to the point that he can't be in a room alone with the exception of bedtime when his more then happy to sleep in his crate.
Is he just happier with us or is he anxious?
Any help is appreciated

They do generally like to be around us, but if its worrying you then you can try leaving him alone in a room for just a minute at first or less even and building it up gradually

Darcy Potters around but likes to be around us too, she's fine to be left alone too

Nico follows us around, getting under our feet, wanting cuddles a lot but if he's got something better to do ( chew toy, treat, puzzle toy) then we are all but forgotten !
