Txgurl06 · 03-07-2007, 07:35 PM

he wont cuddle unless we are sleeping or i just came home from work. other than that i get vicious growls and playful bites.

Our Toto is a cuddlebug .... but also very hyper! She reacts to us. When we are settled in .... watching TV, not feeling well, etc., she anticipates what we are feeling and acts accordingly. She is just the sweetest little thing we could imagne!

Yours will probably begin to read you and react accordingly!

My Marty acts the exact same way! He can be SO hyper when we are playing or when he meets someone new, but at night and when we are just hanging out at home, he's the most cuddly little puppy in the world!

Archie's Mom · 03-07-2007, 10:09 PM

Archie is very snuggly -- he loves to be in my lap or on my shoulder. But he is VERY busy otherwise! I let him in bed with me for a while each morning before we get up, and he cuddles up to me as close as he can under the covers or crawls up onto my chest and rests his little head on my shoulder to snooze. This is just divine! Have you tried letting your pup snuggle with you in bed (maybe not all night, but if you take a nap or early in the morning before your day begins)? That may encourage him to be more of a cuddle bug. Anyway, each pup is different and I'm sure he makes up for it in other ways!

I wish! Even my very attached 3 year old doesn't cuddle much.
Hurts my feelings sometimes! Yet she wants to cuddle on HER terms, when she feels like it, but not when I want her to. In fact, she will come into the TV room where my hubby and I are, look at us to make sure we are still there, we will call her, and she'll turn and walk away and go to her bed or to her "thrown" - my chaise in the other room! Crazy I think!
Not really the puppy either

Do you are "train" your dog to want to be on your lap, or just let them do what they feel based on their personality?

My boy loves to cuddle but I I have to cuddle with him, the poodle and cat. They are close to each other and to me. They sleep with me too.

When I sit at the computer..........they smoosh me because all 3 are on my lap or side

tangobango · 03-08-2007, 05:50 AM

Brissy is another cuddlebum, when she's not spinning, running, barking, or playing.

chachi · 03-08-2007, 05:59 AM

If he is young that could be why. Chachi wasnt a cuddler when he was a baby but became more of a cuddler as he got older. Jewels has always been a cuddler

Betty'sMom · 03-08-2007, 06:50 AM

Betty is kind of hyper...the best time to cuddle is right before she falls asleep or right after she wakes up. I LIVE for those times!! LOL!

Hokule'a · 03-08-2007, 06:58 AM

My female, Hoku, cuddles on 'her terms' - usually if she's tired. My little male, Kalani, could live in my lap 24/7 - he's a real Mama's boy

Potter · 03-08-2007, 07:43 AM

It really depends on their age, personality and whether they are busy or not. Yorkies are Terriers and Terriers are very busy in general

They have a lot of work to do and very little time to relax and cuddle, at least that is what I think of mine

He is still young like 9 months old so he loves to explore even his own home, every single day and every single thing, the same things over and over again. One luggage bag can keep him busy for days checking it out and figuring it out

He even has to check out his own food bowl every day even if its empty. He has to overturn it which is hard because the bowl has a rubber base and see if there is anything hiding underneath it. He'll asks for a pet or two, asks to go for walks but seldom asks for cuddles

He is not hyper though, just busy

PeanutnTobysmom · 03-08-2007, 09:21 AM

Peanut thinks that she is part of my lap, a permanent fixture.

Toby is very hyper and will cuddle only occassionally. He can play fetch for what seems like an eternity and will actually fall asleep with the toy in his mouth. LOL!

blondflava · 03-08-2007, 09:26 AM

I wish my pup was more of a cuddler... He's very hyper, even though I see he's getting better as he got older. A few months ago, he wouldn't even let me pick him up. Always too busy playing, running, throwing his stuff around or jumping. Pepper's 9 months now and slowly calming down. I hope that tendency will last
