My Dog Stares at Me All the Time – Is This Normal or a Sign of Over-Attachment?

Hello to all of you.

My four-year-old Shih Tzu-57 mix is mine. He is been with me for eight weeks now, and he is a real Velcro dog. He looks at me all the time I can practically feel his attention on me. Though I am not too bothered by it, I am curious if this is typical behavior or if I should take it seriously as a possible indication of over-attachment.

My Shih Tzu used to be a total Velcro dog too. Always glued to my side, just like yours. It’s actually pretty normal for a dog to be super attached, especially when they’re new to a home. They just need time to settle in and feel secure. I’d say enjoy the cuddles and keep up the good work—it means he’s happy with you
