My puppy is bonding with a neighbor. How do I get him to bond with us?

Question

Hello Dr. My puppy was so close to us... but for the past 4 days a nearby girl used to play with my puppy for few mins not for so long. But now my puppy used to call her very oftenly and she rans to her. He could find her with her voice itself and this made me to worry eventhough we used to play with him but he looks for her only please do help to come out of this. I want my dog to be with my family alone. I hope you can understand this. Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Male

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would ask the family of the child to not allow her to come play with Dane any more if you want to break that bond. You must do your part as well and keep Dane with you and not hurt the child's feelings by leaving Dane outdoors where she can see him without one of your family members present. Then you will have to make the time to play with Dane and build a relationship. Over time he will start to bond to your family. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!
