I appreciate that Labs are the number one breed for good reason, but in the past few months I'm starting to see behavioral changes in both of my dogs. The primary change is they are suddenly very clingy to me.
They're :
- Constantly jumping up on me as a form of greeting
- Wherever I sit, they have to sit with me
- They're constantly leaning into my chest (Whenever I'm on the couch), and nudge me to put my arms around them
- Getting jealous of one another. If I show affection to either of them, the other one must approach me immediately.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. They certainly know how to make daddy feel needed, but the change in their behavior is so apparent that I had to ask if this is typical behavior at their age, or is this typical Lab behavior?
