I have the same problem. :( Maybe he just doesn't like your room?

just leave him to do what he wants. Maybe just give him a treat for being a good dog every once in a while. He might just be used to your grandmother. Try to spend more time with him even if that means going into your grandmothers room

He goes to your grandmothers room to sleep because she is there with him most of the day. Spend more time with your dog. take him for walks away from your grandmother. Maybe you could ask your grandmother to help. Like telling the dog to go with you.

Let the dog go its own way. He clings to your grandmother--due to her loving nature. She probably doesn't have a mean bone in her body and the dog knows it.
If you want to win a dog over--you must never scream at it. Don't abuse it physically or mentally. Feed the dog, provide water for it always. Take him for walks and don't put a choke collar on it and don't make him run after you. Dogs get tired too. If it's hot and sunny outside, make sure he can walk on the grass or the shady side of the street. Cement gets real hot. Pet the dog. They love to be rubbed and spoken to very softly. Do everything and anything you can to see it to it that your dog never sustains an injury and protect him from people who are cruel. Never leave him tied up outside or isolate the dog in a room by himself. Like wolves, dogs are social animals. As long as they have no restrictions and you allow them to be a part of your whole family, then the dog will love you.
We have three dogs in this house and they all favor me because I view them as people who walk on four legs and wear all weather coats. I give them the respect they deserve and believe it or not, I don't even have to raise my voice to them. I address them as I would a person.

Dogs usually follow around and "love" the alphamale (which in this case seems to be your grandmother) I suggest taking on the role of the pack leader. Watch the Dog Whisperer. He gives great advice on how to do this.

have you been mean to the dog?dogs usually have one person in the family that they stick with. your grandmother i'm guessing spend more time with the dog. i really can't tell you anything to do to make the dog like you more, just be good to it and maybe thing will change.

Some dogs, especially smaller, toy-sized ones will usually pick one person and latch onto them. Also, some dogs naturally latch onto a female in the househould. Maybe they are less intimidating.
I'd recommend spending as much quality time with the dog as you can. The more you "bond" with it, they more it'll latch onto you. You can do this by doing simple things with her such as grooming (brushing her hair, cleaning her face...etc), taking her for walks, playing ball with her in the backyard, perhaps some basic training...etc
Also, it never hurts to carry a couple treats in your pockets to give to her everynow and then ;)
Good luck!

Giving it treats might not make the dog cling to you like it does your grandmother because some dogs are one-person-pets. usually small dogs like chihuahuas are attatched mainly to one person. you should get your own little dog...or a family dog that will love everyone the same. all breeds are different

Spend quality time with him. Take him out to the park, play with him, make things fun for him. If things are fun then he will want to spend more time with you.
Maybe you should also raid the doggie treats stash your grandmother keeps in her nightstand.

dogs pick who they will stay closest to. the leader of the pack is your grandmother because she is there all the time. she feeds him, walks him, and is there for him. she is the pack leader. she is more dominant than you because she is there more. try to roll him on his back. if he stays on his back and submits to you this means he knows you are more dominant than him. if he struggles to get up... then he thinks he is more dominant. this may be a start. try to walk him. be sure he is on your side or behind you. never let the dog be in the front. hope this helps.

Probably play with him more and spend more of your time with him. Also teach him a few tricks and always have food at the ready.
