Just wondering about dogs attachment to one person in the household.
George has recently begun to want to lie on the couch (in the last week, no interest before that) but he will only cuddle up to me (by cuddle I mean he sits as close as possible with his head on my legs) he will not lie anywhere near my daughter which is upsetting her. As she really wants him to lie with her she wants it more than I do as I don't particularly do well with the heat he creates.
Yes I'm the one who feeds him preps his raw food gets up at 6am to bring him to the bathroom mostly I walk him hail rain or shine, I get that he may see me as the main care giver but with her work schedule it's hard for her to be there at the critical feeding times and I think she would have a breakdown if I told her that getting up to let him out at 6 am was how to bond with him.
There are some issues I have with her as regards having he nose in her phone most of the time and not seeing when he needs to go out etc. but if I say those things she gets more upset.
Any ideas how she can bond without doing practical things with him?
I'm reading that back and thinking how crazy it must sound to others.
