I agree with the other posting here. You have to have patients with your new puppy. When my Husband and I watch tv, my Pixie is always laying next to me. My Husband will come an pick her up and put her on his lap and 2 seconds later she is right back laying next to me. That is because I'm the one that feeds, takes her out, give treats, etc. However, my husband is the one that plays fetch with her. You'll make it, but it will take some time.
