How do you teach your dog to follow you?
Ok, I live with my parents, and I have a three month old Yorkie. I want her to follow me around everywhere I go in the house just like the two dogs we have as well follow my mom.
Everytime she gsts up, they get up and follow her, everywhere she goes in the house.
She's my dog, and I want her to be that way with me. But I don't know how. I don't want her to think my mom is her owner, because I am. But my mom hogs her all the time.
Any advice? I want basically a shadow.
Thanks

I am in the same thing as you, as a family, we have three dogs in the house. They follow my mother everywhere, and not me. I understand two of them, but one is my dog. She doesn't follow me unless I have some sort of treat with me.
So what I have learned is that in order to get her to follow me is to go the the park with her, play fetch with her, groom her, make her nice food, make her a nice bed, etc.
Stuff you are certain they like, that way they'll trust you, and you'll gain a large bond with them.
That will cause them to follow you, because they want to know what your up to. Trust me, it's easy and it works.
Good Luck!

Dogs relate to treats and those who treat them well. I had 5 dogs at one point and managed to get them all to respond to a very quiet whistle because they expected a treat or reward of some kind.
If you are cuddling together, get up and get a treat and stand just a few feet from her and call her to you to accept the treat. Increase the distance every now and then and before long she will follow you each time you move because she thinks you will feed her.
Try and use other rewards like a favourite toy or affection but make sure the dog knows that it is doing the right thing when she comes to you.

You got to train her. Try a few buiscuts they usually do the trick but my dog is attached to me cause i spend lots of time with him. so pet him pay extra, special time with her and she'll want to follow you around
