German Shorthaired Pointer Is the Ultimate Velcro Sidekick & It's Cuteness Overload

If your dog is your constant shadow, then this video will totally hit home for you.

While some pups don't mind their independence and even prefer it, others must have you by their side at all times, hence the appropriate nickname of "velcro" dogs. No matter where you go, whether it's upstairs to grab something from your room or even the bathroom, these pets cannot picture being anywhere else but right next to you.

If this sounds like your dog, then you definitely understand the blend of emotions this causes. It can be extremely frustrating but come on. It's also so adorable. You have to laugh!

This German Shorthaired Pointer does not let her mom go anywhere without her. Not even to the next chair over.

I mean, she can't even sit in her own chair without one of the girls taking it first! In this hilarious clip, she tries to sit down in two separate chairs, but every single time, one of the pups beats her to it, hoping to sit on her lap. Ultimately, she finally concedes, and the dog gets exactly what she wants: zero personal space.

If your dog is like this, you may have a "velcro" pet on your hands!

3 Ways to Relieve the Anxiety of a Velcro Pet

As cute as it can be sometimes, it can be a difficult habit to break.

1. Exercise

Ensuring your pup gets as much exercise as possible is one of the best ways to avoid clingy behavior. Exercise will tire your pet out, which can lower their stress levels, causing them not to need to be by your side 24/7. The more pent-up they are, the more anxious they will get. If they need to spend time with you, go on long walks or play some fetch!

2. Cozy space

One way to get your pup to want their own space? Create a super comfy hideout in your home close to your bed or couch. This way, they can remain in a stress-free zone with you in sight, but they don't feel the need to be right next to you. Reinforce this with treats!

3. No "close" rewards

Speaking of treats, dogs sometimes cling to us because they know they'll receive a ton of goodies. They more than likely associate you with getting a treat, so avoid giving it to them right after or while they're next to you.

Of course, having a dog who wants to be with you 24/7 isn't exactly the worst thing in the world, and it's a dream come true for many pet parents! Given how short our time is with them, we'll take all the love and snuggles we can get.
