Do they ever stop following you???

[Verna]

Maximus follows me everywhere too! I luv it. He stakes out the bathroom when I'm in there. It's the funniest thing. Just laying outside the door waiting for me...lol. I wouldn't want it any other way.

[Capecodyorkies]

My 4 also follow me all over the place. When my parents come over my Dad calls me the pied piper while laughing at me for the way they all move in unison just to follow me.
But I do not mind it at all, I just feel more loved by them.

[stedmansmommy]

I'm sorry to break it to ya, but I don't think so. LOL. At least my babies haven't stopped following me They do just as yours does and will get up from a dead sleep to follow me out of a room. Little stinkers! They are my 24/7 shadows and I mean it. Let me just say - I cannot even pee in private anymore

I have an audience everywhere I go

[zenzele]

It's the pack mentality plain and simple. A dog that does not follow the pack will be left vunerable to attack, they are making sure to stay safe and secure with the pack. Also the pack provides basic needs of food and safety. Aren't we lucky to have such cute pack members!!

[YorkieMix]

ALL my dogs follow me everywhere. Even if I just go to the bathroom. I open the door and they are all there waiting. I call them my Disciples.LOL

[SpunkyOne]

Hi Everyone!

Spunky and I are new here and this thread caught my eye and made me laugh. Spunky has been my little shadow for 8 years and she has always followed me wherever I go. If I leave the house without her and my husband is home, she'll wait by the door whining for me! She doesn't even eat or drink until I get home too. When I walk in the door she's right there jumping up and down about 4' in the air until I acknowlege her by picking her up and giving her kisses. She's soooo spoiled but I just love my little fur baby, she's my only daughter!!

[KrissieBella]

I have a maltese and a yorkie. Krissie Bella (my sweet Yorkie) wants to sit in my lap ALL the time. Normally, Ollie will join her. She is just 4 lbs and Ollie is much bigger at 7 lbs. She can jump on our beds, couches, everything. Ollie still can't. It just goes to show "White dogs Can't Jump!!"

Getting back to your question, I can't answer the phone most times, because I am covered in pooches!!

[darnlora]

Both my girls follow me... Poor little Tootsie if she can't see me and if she's in the recliner with my hubby she gets frantic and actually throws her 3 pd-6 month little head towards the ceiling and howls in her tiny voice for all she is worth. I never had a dog ever love me like my 2 yorkies, Samantha my oldest furbaby would get in shower if I would let her. Lol I'm afraid love and closeness goes hand in paw with yorkies...... lol

[Ieshialicious]

Sometimes I feel I should have named her Shadow or my buddy because she goes everywhere I go. She even jumped in the shower with me twice,lol now she just sit by the tub and watch my every move as if I'm going to disappear from her sight....Yorkies are just so adorable.

[Lucia]

Twinkle doesn't follow me but she does follow my one-year old daughter EVERYWHERE. She lies beside while she's playing with her toys and lays under her high chair while she's eating (although I think thats because she's hoping to catch any dropped food) and Lucia sits beside Twinkle while she's eating (and splashes about in her water bowl!) Twinkle sits and whines by at the bottom of the stairs when I put Lucia up for her nap, I have to entice her away with treats or toys. She definitely loves us all, but has a special place in her heart for the baby xxx xxx

[Sarah515]

Lucy is just a strange little thing and sometimes she is miss independent and lounges in our bed for most of the day and then other times she is right there under your feet. She usually chooses to be a shadow at the most inconvenient times...If I leave the bathroom door open she will come in and sit on the rug and just stare up at me. Lucy much prefers men for some reason, I think she wants to be alpha female.

Ella on the other hand is my biggest fan. I can't wait for her to get a little bigger though because I have to watch my every move. If I put her in her pen so I can actually accomplish something, she does her let me out dance most of the time. Other times she will fall asleep and look super cute and the minute I stand so I can take a pic, she is wide awake doing her dance again. If someone else is holding her she cranes her neck to make sure she can still see me. Or she will squirm and wriggle around for everyone else and the minute I hold her she falls asleep. Total mama's baby.

[RebelBelle]

Jamie would love to follow me everywhere. However, we did work on stay. Like he knows that he's not allowed in the kitchen when I'm cooking. I don't want him to get burned or hurt if I spill or drop something. And actually he would rather stand outside the bathroom door and guard it, but thats probably because he's afraid I'll give him a bath.

But I read in another thread that it's good to not let your babies have full range of the house. I am going to buy the play pen for my baby...which will not allow him to follow me. Is there a time when I can let him have full range of the house as a puppy so that he will learn to follow me everywhere?

When Daizy was little I would let her run around the house for about 1/2 an hour after she piddled or poo'd outside...as your baby gets better at potty'ing outside you will be able to give it more freedom in the house.

You know, now that you mention it, the shower is the ONE place my baby WON'T follow me!! She runs and hide behind the tiolet!! I think the sound it too loud for her !
