i went to my vet with this problem because I thought my moms dog was trying to... have intercourse with my puppy who was then 8 weeks old and it really disturbed me! my vet laughed a little and said it was okay, he wasnt trying to mate with her, it was just his way of trying to show he is the dominant one... well jokes on him, my puppy wouldnt have it and snapped and barked at him everytime he did it, for days, until he stopped!
