At training, Kato did something that really has me puzzled. I thought it was a one time thing, but he has begun to do it at home too. One of the other dogs, a female, urinated in the area. He sniffed it and licked at it. When I called him away from it, he had a line of foam around his mouth and his bottom jaw was quivering. The female was showing signs of coming into her heat cycle, so I didn't think much of it. Now he has begun to do the same thing with our female at home. I am back to taking him outside to potty on a leash to avoid this behavior. He is still young, just turned a year old. Is his behavior normal? I have not had a male in decades and I do not remember any of them doing this.
Yep, just normal "savouring the flavour" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
At a year he is just probably starting to get very "interested"....
We live near an open area where there are coyotes and often when I am walking in their area with my intact male GSD I suddenly have an 100lb anchor at the end of the leash instead of a dog. Took me a while to figure out that the female coyotes have urinated there and he is just checking out the talent in the neighborhood.

The hardest correction I ever gave my dog was when he became an anchor on the leash n wouldn't respond to ANYTHING, I yanked that prong HARD, he still had his nose stuck in the grass sniffing at "something", I gave up n dragged him away.
People say "be more interesting than the distraction"... well, sorry, I don't know how to be more interesting than dog piss, apparently that's the most interesting thing in the world to him LOL. Sometimes running away from him works, but usually nothing will snap him out of it. He drools after he licks it too, nasty lil dog, then he licks my arm, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I was beginning to think he was a bit on the odd side. Whew! The jaw quivering really caught me off guard though. Strangest thing I have ever seen him do.

My mature male GDS does the some thing. Licks it chatters his jaw and clacks his teeth. It is rather hard on my shoulders though, when he stops dead though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I to have found that the prong has no effect and have to just drag him away, which isn't easy, as he weighs as much as I do. (100#)
Interestingly enough, he ignores it when he is heeling, such a good boy. (thank goodness)
lord, please help me be the person my dog thinks I am
