  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Attempt at dominance or sexual frustration??

Today my 13 month old em intact male started mounting my two other males along with obsessively licking at their genitalia. He has also been humping the air beside them and crying all day about it. Understandably my other two dogs are not pleased. Normally I would think dominance but the crying, air humping and licking has me wondering. He's never done this before today, coincidentally the first warm day we've had. I've been getting after to him to no avail. He's obsessed. Any thoughts and or suggestions?
 
He's also been going around panting like crazy as if I have a female in heat. He won't dare touch my spayed female, as she is the dominant one and would take his head off. He can't even walk by her. He will stand behind her and cry for us to come and get him when he wants to pass her, as she is very severe with him if he does anything she views as disrespectful.
 
That's what I was wondering about. What all can I really do to get him to settle though and leave my other two boys alone?
 
Lol. I don't even know where or who the bitch in heat is. :p. He's my only unaltered dog. I would neuter him, but he did very well when I showed him, and even if not for that I would like him to finish growing first. Thankfully he seems to have settled for the night after I kicked him off my male presa repeatedly. Lol. :p

Hopefully it won't be back but I'd bet ya money it will =P

You're about to have fun.. he's at about the age their hormones get all geared up. I went thru this with my male EM, he was solid as could be in OB, and going thru this was still pure hell.

The best thing I found was verbally correcting him at just the slightest sign of him starting to hump or whine, if he kept it up I would correct him with the leash. I stayed on him basically 3 solid days, we had a rescue that was in heat.. so I was fighting nature (I did not let him off a leash during this). By the 4th day he had a good clue he wasn't going to get away with it.

The good thing is now I can have him around any female with no issue, it is a process to say the least though.



Thankfully he is back to normal today. :)

Yesterfsy I went down to the obedience school where we did our puppy classes and enrolled him juvenile obediance. When he was going for my other boys I did keep correcting him, and he would get down for a bit until he tried again. Lol. It was a process. :p
I never did find the female in heat. I'm guessing someone happened to walk her by the backyard the other day.
