Erm.....indelicate behaviour from Miss Ivy?????

Is it purely a dominance thing that Miss Ivy this week has mounted my poor little Tristan and this morning my leg? She got a swift reprimand but I'm wondering what else to do or if it's a sign of coming into heat again maybe? I really don't want a little humper LOL

Millie did that the first time she came into season, but never again since then. The hormones seem to trigger a need to dominate, so it may not be an either/or proposition.

For years Penny has always humped her favorite toys. She has never done it to us or another dog...just her toys. We think it must be a dominance thing for her...at least we hope that's what it is

It is a normal dog behavior some say it is dominance some say its not all I say about it its a behavior I do not allow not a problem here. My house my rules yes I'm a mean mom.

Sounds like Ivy needs a little distraction. Our Mummy has sent you an email to see if we can come over the mountains to distract Ivy and Tristan a bit. If she is in heat no-can-do since I am "fully equipped"

(Islay is sleeping in today since it's raining).

Distraction is what we do too, though it is normal to hump, it should not be encourage... ;)

Thankfully there are no other indications that Miss Ivy is coming into heat anyway, it's only been 4 months I think since her last one. She is very easily distracted so that's a good idea. I think if Red and Islay want to come and play that will be the best distraction ever!!!! We can't wait to see you xxxx
