How Can I Stop My Year Old Bichon Humping My Kc Male

[soloman2]

We have a year old Bichon Frieze who now is constantly trying to hump our 4 year old male King Charles, is there any spray that we can use to stop this other than getting him done, which i dont think will help much. any views. David

We have the same, that our 9 month KC keeps doing it to our 4 year old one. I will just get him done as soon as he's old enough. It will definitely help.

Why don't you think it will help?

When I brought our female lab into the house 12 months ago our older male lab tried mounting her. I have a Pet Corrector, squirted it just as he tried getting on top of her, only had to use it twice and he has never tried it again. It is compressed air and makes a hissing sound.

Getting him 'done' might well help a lot. He might be doing it because he's sexually frustrated or as a sign of dominance over the older dog. Either way cutting out the testosterone that is currently surging round his body confusing him will certainly not do any harm and more than likely will stop this behaviour.

In answer to Woofgang, We took our KC to training classes of all KC's weekly and all the dogs that had been done, their coats were dull and they were aggressive to both our dog and others that had not been done, and growled and snapped when walking past them in the training room. and was told by the kennel club trainer that it was because they had been done, and they felt threatened by the ones that hadn't been.

My dogs (gsp x weimaraner) have both been neutered. they have coats like mirrors. All Guide dogs for the Blind are neutered and they don't go around snapping and snarling at other dogs. Personally I think the trainer was talking botox. There is no such thing by the way as a Kennel Club Trainer. There are training classes who do the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme tests, but neither the trainers nor the classes are approved by or affiliated to, the Kennel Club. I took my pups to a class that did KC Good Citizen, the classes were a shambles and the trainer was useless.

I agree with Woofgang I think your trainer might be in need of a bit more training themselves, I've never heard of neutering causing aggressive behaviour. I agree however that neutering can blow the coat of certain breeds, having owned cavaliers for years some of them can turn into little haystacks if not kept trimmed once they are neutered. IMO the pros of neutering for the general well being of a dog far out weigh any cosmetic cons.

I had two spaniels, one Cocker and one king Charles, both neutered, yet they still humped each other every now and then, usually younger one on older one,
We had the younger dog first ( both rescue dogs ) maybe its a dominance thing.

That trainer was talking rubbish - I know "done" dogs with lovely coats and equally nice natures.

That was a really weird thing for the kennel club trainer to say !
