How old is your puppy? Sometimes their allegiances change or expand as they get older. My husband's puppy was fully devoted to him when we first got married, but since he's gotten older and since I've had a chance to play with him and train him some, I've definitively become a part of his family. Now he whines whenever we're not all together lol. Some people say the dog will bond most to whoever feeds him, but I think training is the most bonding activity with playing coming in a close second. Also, it might be good to play/train as a family in addition to having so individual time.
