Dogs follow their owners to the bathroom because they’re naturally social animals that crave companionship. They view you as their pack leader and want to stay close to you at all times, even in what seems like private moments. Additionally, your dog might simply be curious about your actions, as they don’t understand the concept of privacy. In some cases, it could also stem from separation anxiety—they feel safest when they’re near you. While it’s normal, you can gently train your dog to give you space if you find it bothersome. Reward them for staying in another room and reassure them with plenty of affection afterward.
