now this is funny and yet not.... my wife and i got duke 1.5 weeks ago.... and he is pretty much attached to me. my wife calls him and he'll go but when it comes to me leaving, he'll scratch at the door and when my wife leaves it's like he doesn't care... i told my wife that it's because i'm the one that walks him 3 times a day and i'm the one that feeds him.... he'll go to her only when she has treats or if were playing in the living room...

i feel that the walks is a great way to bond with any dog... he's almost 9 months old...

My advice to MAC is that the pup must be walked by both owners not just one, treats are good but if his energy towards the pup is one of "who cares" it'll make it harder for your lil one to bond with... I'm currently going through that with my wife...

Good Luck
