Hi, our 5 month old Staffy has started humping my other dog a 19month old puggle. The hard thing is he only does this when they are left home alone he doesn’t do this behaviour when we are not there. My other dog doesn’t seem to mind and acts playfully but the behaviour has become more and more...

Hi, I have a female dog, 5 years old, mixed with golden and something else I don't know, castrated. Every time when we come back from a trip (2 times a days, about 30 minutes each), she is humping on her bed for a few minutes... She is humping only on her bed, never on us or any other dogs. Does...

I have a 12 year old English bulldog named Emma and a 9 week old puppy who doesn’t have a name yet. She is trying to pin her down to the floor and hump the poor baby. She did the same exact thing with this other puppy we had but they would do some nasty things and the puppy then was 9 weeks to...

About a week ago my 2 1/2 year old spayed chug started to hump my 1 year old neutered pomchi. He doesn’t seem to like it and usually gets away. It happens when they’re playing but this is the first it has happened and now it’s happening every time they play rough. Not sure why or what to do...

So my dog (~2 yr old Husky mix) is GREAT with other dogs. Always wants to play and never really annoyed or angered easily (a lot of dogs have snapped and growled at him and even come after him once or twice.) But unfortunately he’s a little...TOO friendly. He’s neutered, has been since the end...

This is my 6th day dog sitting an unspayed female black lab of 1,5 years old. Her owners told me she isn't usually home alone and that she needs regular walks or sometimes destroys house slippers or poops inside the house. She is very sweet and mild mannered but she has been having bouts of...

How would you start to train a large dog that is showing dominance around people? It is 2 years old, maybe a little older. I am thinking about looking after it for a few weeks for a friend of a friend who is going travelling it but am unsure because I have children. It is one of those large...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, but I am also new to owning dogs. I am sorry if this will be long to read, but please bear with me. I am terribly upset right now and I need to provide you with some details... Three days ago I got my first dog in life. It had somewhat troublesome...

Hi all! I have a brother and sister chihuahua-poodle pair and I've had them since they were puppies, they have rarely been apart and they are three years old. they are both altered. The girl, Mars, has always humped her bed sporadically, I was told that it was just some kind of frustration...

Hi there. I have adopted two rescue dogs and I am at my ends rope with my dogs. I am desperately searching for help. I have received a threatening letter from animal services regarding my dogs and I don't know how to fix these issues. :( I have a 10 month Husky puppy who is becoming aggressive...

So I have a small shih that's been spoiled for four years, taken from the mother relatively young (1 and 1/2 mos old) so he was never able to develop social skills for dogs and he doesn't get to interact with other dogs often since he stays at home most of the time. He's always been our only...

Okay so I have a 3 year old Maltese and Yorkie mix, me and my mom adopted him from a family friend about a year ago. He was trained and neutered when we got him. I love this dog so so much and usually he's a pretty good dog, but the problem is that he just has no regards or respect for me as...

I have what was supposed to be a Shiba Inu, but I am certain he is a mix at the least as he's 50 pounds of dog, instead of 20ish. Either way, he's been in the home for the last 7 years, has been neutered, and is a sweet pup with my kids, and all of my guests. We recently brought a new dog into...

My dog has issues with anxiety and overstimulation that surface in the presence of new people, new environments, certain objects etc. but also sometimes for no obvious reason. His displacement activity of choice is to hump your leg (or attack the object). The longer he does this the more...

Hey guys! My five year old mutt came into our home about two months ago. In the time before we were given the okay to spay her, she humped one of my friends one time. We recently had her spayed (two weeks ago today), but about a week after she started humping people. She has humped me (who she...

I have been caring for a neighbor dog a few weeks a year for several years, so I know him pretty well. I also foster for a local rescue and I've had my current dogs for a couple months. My dogs are small breed mixes (10+ pounds). The neighbor dog is more along the lines of a big lab mix. The...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I'm new to being a dog owner! :) My wife an I just adopted a 3 year old intact chocolate lab. When I say adopted, I mean my boss' dad owned the dog and he died...so we took her in since we have been looking to adopt a dog for awhile now! She has been...

Hey,:) I'm new here, but I registered to finally get an answer to something that has been bugging me for a while. Banjo is my boyfriends dog, and because we have a long distance relationship this is the first time I met him (the dog). For what I've heard, Banjo came from a shelter and my...

we just brought out little guy home from the SPCA today, we call him Pippin. He's 6 months old and I think he's a 20lb Jack Russell blend. He's a clever guy, but he has a lot of issues that i need to work out. I'm not expecting a magic solution to immediately stop his issues, i know he'll be...

Hi all, I found this forum earlier and decided maybe it was worth posting to see what kind of ideas I get here! My husband and I adopted a 6-7 month old pit (mix?) who we named Pikel last Thursday, so exactly a week ago. He's been doing well, has already learned sit and is pretty well potty...
