I do remind them occasionally that I was right to leave him as God intended. |
I also believe in leaving them as nature intended
if that is a sensible thing to do. With mine, it wasn't.
Ferdie did not just try to hump other dogs, he humped all my visitors, wouldn't leave them alone to the extent that I had to keep his lead on if anybody came to the house. The cat only narrowly escaped. I waited two years, hoping he would grow out of it, but he not only got more and more dangerous being the size he is, he also got more and more miserable. He was totally frustrated, could not get off his lead and play, and got himself in such a state when I held him back it was unfair on him.
Joshua only humped Ferdie and me. Ferdie could sort him out, but he used to follow me around the house with a manic look in his eyes, barking at me, and as soon as I sat down he would dive up and grab me with his front legs around my neck. He was and is heavier than me and he was in serious danger of breaking my neck.
I didn't want to have either of them done, but it was the safer option. No amount of training was going to overcome natural instincts that were that strong.
My retriever never took any interest in humping anything and my little mongrel was quite happy humping his bean bag. I wish these had been that way, but you have to adapt to fit the circumstances.
