Over Friendly Boy
« on: July 21, 2006, 03:39:31 PM »
As you may know I have been working on socialising my puppies - especially Casper as he was very frightened of other dogs. Now I'm wondering if his socialising may have gone too far?!  ;)
Casper will now react either one of two ways.
1) He barks from a distance - this happens less often now. He did it this morning as we were walking along a narrow path and had to approach two ladies with a lab. head on. Understandable reaction though I thought, as he had no way of escaping.
2) He will go straight up to a dog (or bitch, he's not fussy!), stick his nose up their bum for a sniff and then start licking their bits!And he is very persistant in this - not a quick lick, he can keep going for some time! And then he will attempt to hump them!
Just wondered why he did this? Someone said yesterday it was a dominance thing, but I can't imagine that of Casper.  :-\
