Puppies should be clingy, it is normal for them. They still need a primary care giver close at hand til around 9 months of age and even then, some of them will still want and need, comfort from you. They may want it this week and not next, they may want it for months and months. They may grow out of it and then years later, seek that comfort again. You cannot make a puppy clingy or needy or anxious or hyper-attached to you, by giving them the comfort and security they need, in a way they want, when they ask for it.
