Sticky pup

[lampingboy 176]

Looking for some advise/opinions. I picked this pup up at 12 weeks, he's 5 months next week.

Admittedly I haven't spent as much time out with him as I normally would with a pup, mainly due to it being summer which is my busiest time with work.

The issue ive got (if you can call it that) is When out and about, the bugger won't leave my side. During an hours walk, he may end up a maximum of 20 feet away from me maybe 3 times, usually he's just glued to my side or strolls along behind me like an old dog . He'll chase a dummy or ball if I throw it out for him and bring it back  depending on if I've hyped him up or not. 

I've had sticky pups before but this ones this stickiest. Has anyone had one similar? Any advise for building his confidence other than time, giving him as many experiences as possible and praise? 

 

He's grey bull wheaton x.

 

Cheers

I'd take it as a blessing, better than chasing after the c**ts all the time! Lol

Kick him up the bo**ocks a few times.That'll stop him wanting to be too close to you.

I wouldn't necessarily say unhappy, I'd describe it more along the lines of being in a state of repudiation.

I usually end up with little b*****ds, why has this one not caused me any significant drama as of yet?

Good to hear DC, I was starting to think he was a bit vacant.

Careful what you wish for , sounds a nice pup , I'd say easier to get a dog to range than to bring in a dog that thinkss all the action is over the next hill. Get him ferreting , enjoy what you've got....
