And if anyone tries to tell you it should be allowed. Just picture a gereat dane humping the arm of your sofa. No one would allow that. |
Is this true? Is there a study, an expert, a consensus, a bottom line? I like to look to the wolves, I know that the alpha male and female control breeding, but I haven't seen this on Animal Planet and I don't know if the Alphas hassle puppies over humping each other. I do know wolf packs don't have stuffed teddys.
Frisco is a humper, when he isn't playing ball or something interesting. We wrassle a lot, and I never let him 'get on my arm', but in experimental observation today, at some maybe 5 mos or so, I see he could pull quite a stint with the ladies, judging by his manner with teddies.
So, do I 'nip it in the bud', embarrass him into the next room, cover my eyes and groan, take the teddy away, yell at him, what.
No, I sure wouldn't let a great dane do my couch...
Conflicted...
I assume an Alpha mom would just break it up when she was in a bad mood?
