It is not merely a matter of running around the room to room which makes a dog loyal, but a combination of strong social attachment, people responsiveness and experience of working with the humans.

According to Brandi Hunter Munden, the vice president of communications at the American Kennel club she writes: “”Dog breeds that are more loyal tend to accompany the best dogs to keep in a family. Most of the popular beloved breeds belong to the Working, Herding, Sporting and Toy Groups, where collaboration with human beings was a job requirement since time immemorial.

Such devotion is nice, yet it also implies that dogs will not cope well with change of schedule or when left unattended over an extended period of time. Understanding typical anxiety symptoms in dogs will enable families to help even the most Velcro-like dogs that have a routine, training, and enriching activities.
