My dog is an extreme cuddler. Why does he always want to be on me?

Hello. I am not sure if there is really a question here, but it sounds like Rosco is looking to score more alone time with you. If this is not a bother, then I hope you will indulge his requests to be with you. This will only continue to strengthen the bond between the two of you. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It may be much too warm for him in your bed. He feels secure in your presence and therefore he will sleep near you. He apparently also feels secure enough to chew on his toys while touching you. However I think you should not let him do that as it may be a sign of disrespect as in "haha, I can chew my toy on you and you don't dare take my toy from me!"

I suggest blocking off your bed so that Oli doesn't have access to it for a few weeks. At the same time have a nice, comfy bed for Oli in the same room. You may also want to offer Oli a Kong stuffed with peanut butter or spray cheese so that can distract him in his bed. If Oli seems anxious about his new sleeping arrangement an Adaptil collar or diffuser in the room may help. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck!

Unfortunately, it's impossible to know why Rocket is exhibiting this behavior. Dogs can make some odd associations. The following article is about hugging dogs but it has some tips that could be applied to your situation: https://www.petcoach.co/article/do-dogs-like-to-be-hugged/ The key is to encourage any behavior that is positive, be slow, be patient and never force the behavior. If Rocket is uncomfortable and you force him, he could create a negative association. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is obvious how much you love Gabby and I suspect she loves you very much too! Most dogs are very bonded to their owners-especially dogs who have been cared for by the same person for years. There may be a reason that she does not want to stay with you in bed. Where does she go? Does she go straight to tile or wood because the bed is just too warm (my own dog started doing this recently). Do you toss and turn and it bothers Gabby? Does a fan blow on her? Is there a new candle or scent in your room? All these things may be reasons Gabby decides to lay down elsewhere. As with most dogs, you can strengthen your bond by petting and sitting together (try laying with her wherever she likes to lay for a few minutes). Playing with toys and working on training is also excellent for showing her you love her. You are doing a great job! Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Gabby!

Poor Littlebit! Is there a scary or traumatic even that could have happened a few months ago that could have changed his behavior? Or a change in the household (new people, kids now crawling/walking, new pets, construction, etc) or household routines (you're home more or less than normal, change in work schedule, etc)? All of these things could cause a little anxiety or neediness. You could try to give her some Benadryl to see if this calms her. You could also do a pheromone calming collar like adaptil. If this does not help, I would talk to your vet about looking at her to ensure nothing else is going on and possbily starting her on an anti-anxiety medicine. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better really soon.!

It sounds like Kobi loves attention! If you aren't interested in cuddling, try a treat toy or puzzle that he can work on. You can also do obedience training and have him learn to stay in one place when you are on the phone. He may just desire your attention or need more exercise.
