Your darling little canine may wander around you because he senses you will move away from him. This is not different from a small baby’s worries over leaving her to her grandparents by her mom. You may go to the kitchen to refill your drink, and what you’ll notice is your little canine’s shadow is underfoot. Or else, head into the bathroom to see your pup’s spur on the door. Even though it’s an adorable sign, this could be desperate sometimes. So, it’s not only dog love that makes your canine follow you everywhere, but also there are several reasons for your pup to behave thus.
Why Your Canine Follows You Everywhere
If your canine always accompanies you, wherever you move is a sign of showcasing dog love. But that’s not the consistent reason. Probably the most consistent one is that it’s in their genes—throughout history, dogs have been pack animals. You remove your pup from its canine pack and assimilate into the human environment by socializing. But genetics aren’t the only reason dogs like to follow people. Further, if you adopt a dog as a young puppy, she may lean on you, truly feeling like you are their “dog mother.”
If your pup encounters a nervous situation or uncertain strangers she will stick close to your side. For example, dogs are not resistant to thunderstorms and fireworks. During such chaos, dogs see you as their protectors. And the very occasional dog gets so anxious if they are separated from their pet parent —this is not a good situation for either party.
Dogs sometimes follow only you. They will not follow anyone else. That’s because they feel that you fulfill whatever they are looking for.
Why Do Dogs Follow You to the Bathroom?
Dogs are explorative. They love intruding into the bathroom, to pull out the wastebasket. Moreover, they find all kinds of things in the bathroom that smell intensely like their family members, and it’s great fun to explore! Looking for things that give the sense of family members is indeed a way of showing their companionship and dog love. Furthermore, Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, and they do not always match our taste in smell. So, the array of odors that come from the bathroom can be both intense and intriguing to a dog.
So when you go to the bathroom dog will find it a great opportunity to explore the intense odours in the bathroom.
Why Do Puppies Follow You Everywhere?

Young dogs rely on their mother, and when they are removed from her and their siblings, their new family becomes their foster parents. As a result, they will follow you, often closely to learn what they need to know about their environment. They are often less confident than older dogs and haven’t learned the proper social skills. However, these behaviors go off when they mature and become more confident.
Why Do Older Dogs Follow You Everywhere?
When dogs go old, they will lose hearing or vision. And, they will be susceptible to joint problems such as hip dysplasia, and elbow dysplasia. The dogs will urge for care and love at this stage. Other dogs experience a mental decline—much like Alzheimer’s in people—that makes them become clingy. If your old dog has suddenly started following you and any other ordinary changes, schedule a veterinary visit to look for the underlying problem.
