Hi everyone. Another question for y'all! The GSD is now 14mos. Two days ago he did something new: We were doing OB, and immediately after I gave him the release word he jumped up on me and started humping away. I pushed him off and told him sternly "OFF". He jumped right back on and did it again. I had to really forcefully correct him off of me.
Today, he was sitting in front of me after responding to "come". As I was praising him he broke the sit and jumped up and started humping again. I immediately used extreme force to correct him off of me. I did the "come" again and tried to elicit the same behavior. He slightly raised his front paws like he wanted to, but thought better of it.
He's not an aggressive dog at all. He's actually quite soft usually. He was neutered very young (12 weeks) as he's from the pound.
Can anyone explain, give thoughts, etc? In 15 years this is my first male dog. I've always had females, so I've never had to deal with this type of behavior.
Sounds like he really loves you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
No realy, sounds like there is a lack of respect issue betewwn him & you or mabey he is testing the waters to see confirm where he stands in the pack order. I would have done the same thing u did, harsh correction. Only i would have done it once & extreamy hard, to the point of borderline abuse. that way he would never think about it again. I think you were not hard enough with him & this might manifest in other ways. Put him in check! My friends rott that i we were training in Basic obedience would do this to anyone he thought was benith him. i belive its a signal if disrespect. he would do it to his brothers, his sister, her kid & anyone he would meet who would give him a command. With My limited experience i would say; u need to correct harder, within his threshold.
Gerlert's master, returned to find his son gone & his crib bathed in blood. Seeing Gerlert's bloody mouth he stabbed and killed the dog. The noise woke the baby,hidden in the blankets. Under the bed,was a dead wolf. It's throat had been torn out.
I'd handle it one of these 3 ways. just like I would jumping up on people.
I'd start by grabbing his front paws and making him walk on his hind legs, until he is uncomfortable. Place him in a sit, hold it for a while then praise, the sit.
Else leash him and when he humps, give him a pop with leash, say "No"! Place him in a down/sit for a few minutes. Then praise him for staying in position sit/down.
The 3rd method is to raise your knee when he raise up to jump up on you. He eventually will come to the opinion that its unomfortable to keep bouncing off your knee.
