Lately, I have noticed that Joey cries and whines everytime I walk away from him (whether he is with someone else or not). He just goes NUTS until I come back into sight.
I have been careful not to pick him up all the time, and make him spend some time alone, or with other people. It just does not seem to help. I bring him everywhere with me, well, almost everywhere. I take him shopping to meet other dogs, and puppies. He loves other people, I mean, he gets a little scared (shaking and such) but he does LIKE others. And loves the attention.
He gets submissive with everyone (hits the ground, showing tummy) BUT he isnt petrified... I think just being so small makes him a little nervous.
I just want him to be confident and not SO clingy, because once he gets older, I dont want him to depend on me 24/7.
My parents said that all he does when I walk away is yelp and try to get away from them and back to me.....
It has me worried about the "clingyness" and ALWAYS wanting me in sight, if not wanting ON me. Is this normal? Should I worry? Will is pass?
