OK, Trooper just graduated from Advanced Obedience last week and we are now looking into other training schools in the Buffalo area to go on further, but we have a little problem. Trooper is NOT intact (he will be 1 year this month), BUT whenever he is around another dog he seems compelled to mount. (quite embarrasing in around large groups of other dog owners
) It doesn't seem to matter if the dog is male or female. Trooper is very submissive. His trainer first said that he is choosing dogs that were more submissive than him, but it so happens that he has "chosen" all 9 dogs in his class at one point or another. What is making him do this? The other dogs in the class do not. Since I have always owned female Rotts, this is my first time encountering this. BTW he did not act this way in Basic OB (in class with a Pug and a Jack Russell). Should I find a class with a small amount of dogs to avoid distraction?
