We have used water, a bottle with stones to shake near him and physically removing him from her. Our bitch is very sweet natured but hasn't learnt to tell him NO. She seems to be getting a little stressed but I'm not sure if it's me making her feel this way as I keep trying to stop him and she might be thinking that she is doing something wrong.
I’m concerned as he is quite a bit heavier than her and I'm worried that he will damage her back with his weight. She is due to be spayed in 2 weeks.
The two dogs have known each other since they were puppies (they attend the same weekly obedience class) he has never shown this trait before, even when they have been out walking together.
Do you think this behavior will stop if we keep disciplining him or will we have this all weekend?
If you need anymore info please let me know.
Many thanks for all your help. |
It can be a sign of dominance, maddie and mason do it to each other, and both of mine have been snipped, so its not a mating thing. :)
