Pups are more like that but, I recon he will end up like Rohan, you are his pack leader/mummy ours are fine with Steve on his own but when I am around and he calls them, they run to me, not Islay the oldest but the 2, 3 year olds, they see me as there mum whereas I worked at times when we had Islay. I think they need some time alone, the other thing is if you do not leave them for short periods for a start, they get seperation anxiety, I hope ours don't but I did have a little dog that used to howel if I was out!!
I have just been cleaning the small yard, somthing thats been missed a bit over the holiday, there is scrapped paint all over the place where Rohan has been scraping the window sills, nothing to do with how much excersie at all as we have long walks and yesterday she ran around a lot with her brother and sister, I am trying to ignore her much more now, no interaction today, she was sitting outside the back door as well, the other 2 are fine.
So, too much interaction and being with the dog all the time can cause problems.....I need to get out more
