For our home, all our dogs and our cat for that matter, have bonded closest to me. It is just the way it went.
I will tell you that even now at almost seven years old, Magic doesn't truly like to leave home on a walk with Dad, if I am staying inside. But walk on he now does. As a puppy hubby could not get him farther than the end of the driveway  That lasted a good month or so. And our home is the only one he has known.
Mostly the dogs stay in what-ever room I am in, although if Dad has an afternoon nap, they might wander into our bedroom for a lay down.
So don't you think it is something necessarily you are doing wrong. Follow the suggestions above and see how it goes for you. |
I've tried this before as its been a tendency with her we've noticed. I don't really want to 'buy' affection with treats. We'll be alone together tomorrow and apart from feeding her lunchtime, I intend to let her make the running. If there's no change, then I suppose she's just mummy's girl and that's that, a shame for me, but at least she'll be happy.
