The Lover Dog
These dogs adore humans and often need constant attention. They prefer humans to other dogs. Classic examples are most of the Terriers, Pugs, Chihuahuas and lap dogs in general.

Training: this dog is all over you when you get home – “Where have you been, live missed you!” Can I come with you? Friendly as these dogs are, they can be very dominant too. Never let this sort of dog initiate contact. When you get home if the dog bounds up to you, ignore it. This sounds cruel, but just wait a few seconds till it is away from you then call it back. Then pat and cuddle it. Never let a dog train you to respond. If you do, the dog is in command and you will not have control of it. One day it could ignore your calls and be run over by a car. If the dog is bad, if it barks or jumps up on you or other people – ignore it. Don’t scold it, ignore it. The dog wants attention and even a few harsh words is a reward for the dog.
