My puppy barely plays with his toys anymore and always wants to be besides me. When I’m busy he just lays down and naps. As soon as I move he follows me from room to room. Whenever I give him something to chew, sniff, puzzles, etc. he only last a minute or two and comes back to me.
When I leave the house he barks for about a minute(he never barked before) and settles down and sleep the whole time next to the front door waiting for me. We do walks & training which he enjoys and gets plenty of exercise but I wonder if he should be more independent, do his own thing? It’s only me and him in the house. He is well behaved inside and out of the house, but maybe I should socialize him more with other dogs and people? I’ve been avoiding that as he was longing at everyone and I wanted him to be neutral which has been working so far.
He is 7 months old. Is this behavior healthy?
