Why does my dog follow me to the bathroom?

Dogs are also naturally curious so when you slip into a room and always close the door, you are odd. Your home is your family territory and the bathroom is within the boundary of its sphere of influence. Your dog probably feels like that area must be patrolled and secured-surely that is the reason that you go there
Probably, the dog just wants to be with you. If you don't want this behavior to continue, you'll need to train a different behavior. Train the dog to stay in their designated place, and when the dog follows, repeatedly walk the dog back to its designated place and stay.
Some dogs like to follow there owners around the house. I adopted a poodle and he has separation issues and I think the fear of being abandoned. He follows me all the time. He is a heart beat at my feet!
