| The 'humping' of the younger puppy may be a "dominance" thing......trying to make her place in the pack...I tried to stop Apple (the chihuahua) whenever she did this to Lil Bit....I would firmly grab Apple around her back and hold her down, firmly but not hurting her...and say "no" and hold her for a few seconds. It really made a difference.
But I will say she does have this one toy that she will persistantly go after if the playing gets too wild. I try to keep this toy put away unless I am around to let them play.
I did notice Apple acting moody and a bit aggressive just before she went into her 1st heat at age 7 months....she will be one year old tomorrow (HAPPY BIRTHDAY APPLE!!!) so we haven't had another heat since getting Lil Bit.
The whole PMS thing is just a nightmare.....be glad they can't handle handguns!!!!!
AND.....I NEVER knew dogs did not go through menopause!!! WOW!!! Poor things! |
