What to do

[lovespandp]

So Pnut has a BFF his name his Todd (see picture )

They get along very well, the only thing that drives me CRAZY and I know Pnut as well, Todd humps Pnut almost 80% of them time they are hanging out It drives me crazy!! The owner is my good friend Shana, and she tries to stop him but not in the sense of making him stop. She will just push him away and tell him to stop.

We went to the outside mall today and 80% of the time we were walking Todd tried to hump Pnut, and when we stopped in stores, it was to the point where I wanted to carry Pnut Then when I was holding Pnut Todd would cry and look at me to put him down...It was really annoying.

I am getting sick of it, and I want to tell her SOMETHING, but I don't know how to go about it..

What would you guys do, how would you tell her?

Super cute picture...and I sadly have no advice. Every once in a while one of my boys will try to hump the other but it's just a dominance thing for them. I'm sure someone will have some info LOL! I'm to new to yorkies.

Thank you. If it was every once in awhile I would be able to deal with it, but its like 80% of the time they are with eachother so it is to the point where its annoying. I know he is doing it for dominance, but come on LoL

Armani tried to do this when I brought Chloe home and I put a stop to it right away- every single time he started I told him NO and took him away from her until he learned. Honestly, if your friend doesn't want to reprimand her dog and put an end to it, you need to keep Pnut away from her dog. Its not fair to Pnut to be getting humped constantly.

Thanks, I need to tell her, I just need to find how to tell her. I know it's not fun for Pnut to be humped like that all the time, it takes the fun out of them hanging out. If you were to see Pnuts face when Todd does it, you would feel sorry for him and pick him up. Its not like Todd does it in a nice way LoL, he really wraps his paws around him and when his paws wrap around and under you can see he is holding him tight, sometimes Pnut cant even move. Pnut is about 4lbs and Todd is like...6 So I know he is a little stronger.

I just really want her to try to work with Todd, I mean if it were the other way around I would work really hard to make my dog stop, but I don't really think it bothers her and I dont think she knows how much it bothers me.. So I will have to say something.

Todd needs to be told "no" sternly every single time until the behavior stops. Is he neutered? Sounds like a lot of humping, especially when you are out and about and engaged in an activity.

Very cute picture.

Yes they are both neutered males. Same age too. The only time he really doesnt hump Pnut alot is when we are at her house. He still does it, dont get me wrong but not as much at my house or when we are out and about.

Todd is really domante over Pnut, if Pnut has something Todd will take it. Pnut is very...(I dont know the word) Um he is very mellow and he gives in to other dogs when it comes to toys, food etc. Maybe Todd likes to take advantage over him. I just dont understand why Todd does it all the time.. its odd to me.

If this person is really your friend, she will understand. Just calmly and evenly say, "We need to work on this because it isn't good for either of our doggies." Good luck.

LoL, It bothers Dh too! HAHA. One weekned I was going to dog sit Todd and DH said "good now we can work with Tood to make him stop humping my dog" but her plans were changed and we werent going to watch him. Darn it!

[JasmineNoelle]

Since she is your best friend I would just be up front and honest with her and tell her it annoys you and it is not fair to your baby either. As your best friend she should understand this.

That would have been perfect! Too bad.

That's annoying! Jackson tends to be a dog that gets humped a lot at the dog park, I think because he just allows it and doesn't really fight back... LoL. I don't have advice but it it is soooo annoying when owners don't do anything about it. I totally get dogs will be dogs but when Jackson is trying to run and he a dog attached to his leg and the owner is just sitting there, I just take it upon myself to get their dog off mine.... haha.

No real advice but can I just say Pnut has got to be the cutest Yorkie Ever?!? His haircut, his little face, his outfits.. gahh, he's sooo cute!

Took mine to the dog park yesterday and Max loves all dogs and gets along great with everyone. But this one dog tried to hump him yesterday, he barked and kinda snapped at him. The owner was right there too and he told his dog that's what you get for doing that, so he understood.

I can only imagine what you're going through.

Max doesn't hump anyone, so I am lucky in that respect also.
