How could you say no to that face?? :) Train him to sit and stay then use the command when he is bugging you.
i would train him to go lay down. the old saying you cant teach old dogs new tricks is false.
Why is it a problem having your dog around you? Well if it is really serious he might have separation anxiety which you should discuss with your vet or trainer.
Oh, I know how annoying that can be. I have an 11 month old doing that, and she doesn't seem to "get it" that sometimes she is in the way and has to move. I kindly kind of "pressure" her out of the way with my knee and tell her to "MOVE! Also : git! GO! Basement! Dog B Gone. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
She will do the same things: wait outside the bathroom or bedroom. She comes and checks on me at nite with her wet sloppy nose. SNIFF SNIFF n I wake up.
