Sorry this is a little graphic, but my DH begged me to ask you all about what we should do about this... Dogs are so much smarter than they seem to be, and in the weirdest of ways. *Sigh*

For the first time with the puppy in the room with us (in his crate), my DH and I had a little intimate alone time. Puppy started out asleep, then woke up and started barking, so we stopped... TMI, I know, but sort of important to the point: I was on top, which I assume through a puppy's eyes might look like I was showing my dominance?

The very next day, Nikko's behavior changed. The little guy has never and still doesn't ever lift his leg to pee, but he decided to start humping his dad's arms and legs that next day. He does not hump me at all still. He also started listening better to me when I would tell him to stop biting me, he started licking me WAY more often (but biting at my DH way more often), AND that day was the first day he walked over to the door at one point while we were playing and pretty obviously asked *me* to let him out to pee.

What is going on? Did that one experience so completely change him? Am I now garnering some super respect, and has my DH lost all respect from the dog? What should we do about this? I want him to respect both of us, not just me (though I really am kinda enjoying the extra respect, lol).

Thanks guys... I know this is weird.
