[Dailydrool] humping

[Annette Mucci]

Schroeder is neutered and he still humps, not a lot, but he does do it, especially to Sophie.

Quite honestly, I think it is more of a dominance thing and sometimes a little excess energy.

I know that Schroeder has a little bit of Alpha in him, but the problem is that Maya our eldest boxer is the top alpha of the entire pack and all the dogs know this.  Mother Maya as we call her.  He tries desperately to hump her and she continues to keep him in place with a few boxer gruffs and snarls and then chases him out of the room.  She doesn't take his crap.

Sophie on the other hand has absolutely NO alpha, she is my little sweet pea and I think that he continues to try to hump her because she will lay there and take it.  Yes, the basset humping can get a little pornographic if we don't keep everyone on the straight track.  It is a little embarassing to look out the window and see this sometimes.... UGH!!!  

Schroeder hasn't tried to get to Cassie, especially since she's been sick, but he used to.  She could always out run him though so she wasn't easy prey!  LOL.

We scold him with firm NO's and he obeys and stops.  And that is it, unless he needs to run.  Then I feel like all I say is NO Schroeder, NO NO NO Schroeder and you know how the story goes....

We send our love and drool to all...

Annette, Maya, Cassie, Schroeder and Sophie
