Hurley has never been cuddly. I wish he was but he gets hot. He will lay close to me where his head might be on my lap or touching my leg but only rarely and not for more than a few minutes.
Don't hold your breath for a cuddly 10-week old puppy. Too much energy! Our doodle was the same way when she was a baby but she is a major cuddler now that she is a year old :) Just be patient and she will come around!
Give it a few years. Yes, years. My dog does now but there is too much energy right now. Pups are not stuffed animals or teddy bears :( They are busy toddlers
You might try tethering her when you sit down to read, watch TV, visit, eat, etc. We did this originally to limit potty accidents and keep track of what she might get into, but I think it helped with bonding too. After your pup has had exercise and doesn't need to go out or have a drink, put her on her leash and just let her hang out with you.
When Doodle was a puppy I felt the same way. She was so wild and it seemed like she didn't even like us because I felt like she wasn't bonding with us. She is a year old now and she is an excellent cuddler. She will curl up next to me on the couch with her head on me or lay next to me in bed. She really loves to cuddle and get right next to me when she's wet. I could do without that, but oh well. You just have to give it time. I remember how hard it was, so I know how you feel.
I feel sorry for you. I felt the same. Give her a few weeks and she will be biting your fingers off. No cuddling. Bear with it all. Later in years, she will never leave your side. She will be your constant loving companion.
This year, NO! Soon, you will be trying to hide from those teeth. It passes :) You will bond through it all
Ned is not cuddly. The only time he ever sat in my lap for longer than a minute or two was when we took him with us on an overnight trip to visit relatives. He sat on my lap for hours while we visited - fun time for me.
