Are Dobermans clingy?

They’re just incredibly needy when we are home, but that doesn’t affect our absence. My dogs go a lot of places too, but it’s also important that they are fine being left, so I make a point of making sure they spend a fair amount of time alone and are rewarded for good behaviour when we do leave.
