Do other members feel, as I do, that this thread should be merged with the one of the same title (and by the same OP) in Behaviour and Training, that way it would be easier for all concerned to keep up with posts and advice given to poster as this is an incredibly difficult subject.

Yes, I thought the same. The poster hasn‘t come back however, I do hope we haven‘t lost her....

Good idea - I'm on it!

I have merged the two topics on this subject into this one. There may be a bit of duplication, but at least it's all in the same place

PS
I just had my wife read the OP post without reading any replies incl my own and her take on it was exactly same as mine with no prompting from me.

I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination but this is how I read the situation....you say your husband has no bond with Watson and presumably as such shows little if any affection. Could it be that Watson picks up on this and is desperate for your husband to like him, what you see as an obsession with him is actually a cry for affection from the dog. Imo Watson is following him everywhere in order to befriend him. A very wise man who was a member of this group (Jeff...RIP) once told me via a PM chat that cockers hate to be ignored and that for them being ignored was the very worst form of correction.....that's my take on your situation.
