Updated On September 23rd, 2025

If I leave my dog with my parents while I am at work on weekdays but pick him up after work so I still exercise, feed and train him, also where he sleeps, will be become attached to them instead of me

He will likely develop a relationship with you both but it's impossible to say who he will bond with most closely. In general though, dogs bond the most with the person who feeds them and plays with them the most. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
