The sporting breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers are bred to be fun-loving companion dogs, so they’re most likely to follow you everywhere. The herding breeds, such as German Shepherds or Australian Shepherds tend to be one-person dogs, and are historically loyal to that one person.

Now some dogs follow their owners everywhere out of sheer love, or it could be due to separation anxiety. More often that not, dogs just want to be with us no matter what we’re doing.
