| Older yorkie humping new puppy!?!?!? Hi all We have a 1 1/2 year old yorkie named Reyna and last weekend we just got a 3 month old puppy, Roxy. Both are girls....Reyna has started to hump Roxy!!!! What is this all about? I am confused, worried, and a little weirded out. I'm afraid she'll hurt the puppy. What does this mean? Thanks for your replies!

| This is totally a dominance behavior. Bruce never humped prenueter, he never humped actually until he was over a year old, and he does it exclusively to younger dogs or dogs that come over to our house. I was really concerned so I asked my vet, she confirmed he is just trying to dominate

| My older yorkie who is a year humps my younger puppy, too. It is completely to show dominance. Whenever Hobbs does this to Hootie, I just clap my hands really loudly and say NO in a stern voice and he stops. It is beginning to become less frequent, too. |

| Just showing who's boss at your house. She will let the humper know if she is hurting her. My daughter's female Bernese Mountain Dog humps their male CAT!
