If people would just correct the behavior, our "little boys" would not get such a bad rap.

So just correct the behavior and people will find your little boy to be as loveable as the little girls.

Its not just male dogs a lot of females do it too. In fact I find people are put off more by dogs cocking their legs up to pee every couple of minutes when your out walking more than the humping. Females are known to do this too lol.
For the record I WILL NOT be removing Tias teddy just because she gives it an occasional hump, I will continue to tell her no, shes well behaved and she listens.

I am well aware that females do this also. But most people think it is a boy dog thing, because primarily it is.

I said that the MARKING was the other reason for not wanting a boy. But I have never had a neutered male that marked. I did however have a spayed female that marked.

And for the record, I don't care if you allow your dog to have her teddy.

I was telling the OP that if she wants to stop the behavior to tell him no and remove the object. If you don't want them to stop then let them have the object. The advice was given for those who wanted to stop it.

I find allowing dog to hump objects to be disgusting and to take videos of it and use it for entertainment to be very juvenile.

I have a lot of respect for Nancy, but I found the comment she made to be very immature. And I spoke my mind

Now your comment about the "bitter old woman", is deliberately mean and uncalled for. And it shows that you have no clue who I am cause I am not bitter and not old.

I was not being mean just stating my feelings, you on the other hand, are being mean.

Nancy is a big girl and has always been able to take care of herself, she does not need some youngster to come on here and start name calling to fight her battles for her.

And I'll let this one slide but if I see you call anyone a name again, I will report you. Name calling is also very immature behavior




I agree I don't think Nancy would allow bad behavior, but her comment wass very immature. The OP was looking for advice and was told to take videos of it. In the right context that would have been amusing, but as you can see, there are people who actually have taken videos of it.

As others have pointed out, it is really not the puppy that is being disgujsting, it is the humans that are laughing and enjoying the show tht are being disgusting an immature.

And for the record, I think eating poop and rolling on dead things is disgusting.

I clean up poop all day long, I wash poopy butts. I help with the whelping and find none of that disgusting. And I don't wear rubber gloves for any of it.

But taking videos of a dog humping their stuffed animals is disgusting and immature.

You stated that you were going to continue to allow your dog to have her teddy, I said I don't care. Am I supposed to care? I'm truely sorry that my not caring if your dlog has her teddy upsets you. :rolleyes:

I don't even know where 'what you plan to do' fits into this thread.
This thread is not about you or your dog or your dogs teddy.

The OP wanted to know what to do about her dog humping.

I suggested that she tell the dog NO and remove the object. Someone else suggested that she take videos of it. I don't even care whos advice she takes. It is her dog.

i think you have stated what you would do many times. you say "tell the dog NO and remove the object" in about every post you make. your point has been taken and we know you find us immature that we enjoy small bits of humor in our drab lives...i too find humping a toy once in a great while a bit funny. humping legs and humans is quite another issue, it hurts sometimes and it's dominance behavior. but to me humping in general is not inappropriate behavior. it's just a dog...i mean you mentioned helping with whelping so i'm thinking you breed. do you get disgusted when your dogs "hook up" because that's also quite normal ya know

i agree that sitting around making a big spectacle show of the humping toys is a little immature and silly, but taking a short video as a mama and laughing a bit that your baby is starting to grow up, it's not so bad and i honestly think Nancy was just kidding about the video anyways, and even if she wasn't...it's just amusing to us. why wouldn't it be, they're cute and little and they think they have all this power over their toy...it's funny.

i have to ask, do you find that the natural relations between people disgusting as well. because if i personally was disgusted by all things natural like that, i'd be pretty bored with life.

The "bitter old woman" is just a saying.. Haven't you ever heard of it before? I wasnt implying you were old, thats why I had the " " around it. I was also speaking my mind. I wouldn't say it was name calling.. Now who is acting immature?? You calling me a youngster is about the same as me saying you are acting like a "bitter old woman" isnt it? I am not a youngster, if you knew me you would know as well. I know Nancy doesn't need a "youngster" fighting her battles for her, and I wasn't trying to, I just said that you were rude to say that to her, and I think others think the same. I think you are the one that is getting your "panties in a bunch" and making this bigger than what it is .

Thank you for clarifying that. I think if the rest of you had let Nancy fight her own battles, this would have ended a long time ago.

Just for the record, I appreciate every bit of support I received, and I'm glad that there are those who understood what I was trying to say. I'm not here to "fight battles", and the OP wanted to know if this was normal for one so young, I was only trying to reassure her it was well within the normal range. There's so much to learn in the early months, and I feel like our primary job in the early months is to make the puppies feel secure, yelling at them for every little thing they do doesn't seem to fit into this plan.

Two points.

One: there is a huge difference between having a sense of humor and bestiality or whatever someone is trying to make out of a humorous comment

Two: some people just HAVE to have the last word as IF saying things over and over would make everyone agree

Same stuff/different day.

Your kidding right? Take a look back, your insults to well respected members for a start. As for "what I plan to do" is actual constructive advice for the op , which is in fact what this thread IS about.
