Clingy Behaviour

Your dog might want to snuggle up and steal some attention (which is normal and enjoyable for you, too!), but excessive neediness is a problem. "Many dogs love human companionship all the time, but they might get all-out clingy when they're stressed," Fratt says. "If normally your dog likes to sleep at your feet, but one day he's trying to climb in your lap and won't let you out of his sight, that might be a cause for concern." From here, maybe consider giving adding an extra walk a day, some games or toys, or treats and see if they perk up.
