8 wks old male Mounting his stuff toys? - Page 2

I think most dog experts consider mounting toys and other objects a play activity when a puppy is the perp. Every litter I had produced one or two individuals, males and females,  that were interested in mounting their litter mates, towels, and toys. They outgrew it.

My first thought was...Was the Stuffed Toys...Male or Female Stuffed Toys...?

Could tell a lot about your puppy....tee hee hee...!

Lol...this is all that I thought just was not 100% sure. I was just very surprised at this. Sign of dominance makes since. This pup is also the one that has been 1st in most very thing. ----------------- As for destruction, none yet, but I am sure it is coming. ------------- The sex of the toy is a big red bull dog with a big bone in it's mouth. ---------------- I do miss the other pups, but it is nice to only focus on 3 instead of 8.

  Read the other thread on here about the same thing

Chez was kidding but he said if you bred better dogs, at 8 weeks they would be doing same thing...lol

SO tells you doesn't it

 Perfectly the thing a dominant male or female does..my cocker spaniel did it when she was 9 weeks old..



Nothing to worry about....he will out grow it...and he may chose your leg or shoe next.

lol

distract him then...no punishing or yelling at him for it...just move leg and throw him a bone..

oops   a chew bone...lol

I'm not sure a puppy that mounts objects is necessarily a dominant dog.

 It,s not.

Bob, Blitzen, what is it then? The pup I had that did it was very dominant aside from that. At 8 weeks he mounted a huge pillow downstairs (don't worry, no one actually used that) and toys as well.   He did eventually grow out of that, but he was always a dominant dog aside from that.  It just seems like the ones I have seen do that......were dominant.....maybe a coincidence though.

Pups will often not hump anything at all.  You'll be watching the little buggers and they are just strolling along humpin the air..... I've had lots of cockers just start humping like loons when they are being groomed. No one is even close to them, they just go into poundy poundy mode.... Jizzing all over the place...It's puppy behavior NOT always dominance.  You will have a hard time trying to convince me they are attempting to dominate air :)  Puppies hump it's normal

 GUY:

Do not pay any attention to the negative remark  It;s not

 It sure was with the ones in my litters that did it.

No one here claimed it is a Trait to judge the puppy by, it was my remark that the ones of mine that did it were dominant
they sure were not woosies...

most of them never did it more that a few times.
'

Even mutts do it, and I would bet that mutt was the one who found his way around the neighborhood pretty well...

BOB:  tell us what your vision is about it , if you are so easy to hollar  IT is not..???????

DO you think it is a fault or a nerve problem or a genetic weakness. Female pups do it as often as the male pups do...so what is your medical , professional opinion of why so many of them do it...are they mentally ill, deranged or  mixed up prototypes of failures in the breed???

byrnjulf.....the ones I speak of never did this to the air.....ever......nor did their "stuff" go everywhere either.
