Boston Terrier "Humping"
I wrote a few weeks ago about my problem with my new 10 month old Boston
Terrier, who is now 11 months. The problem was he was "humping" my two Pugs. It's subsided a lot. He does, however, still try to do it to dogs at the park. I have him on a 15 ft. lead, so I can monitor his behavior. Is there any trick to making him stop this unacceptable behavior? Again, he's MUCH better at home. He gets a LOT more supervised time with the other Pugs and he's behaving for longer periods of time. The squirt bottle works wonders with him. I can tell he's going to be a great dog. I've had 3 Bostons in the past and I've never had this problem. JJ is larger than most Bostons, he's 28 lbs and will probaby get a little bit bigger, he'll fill out. He's handsome, he's extremely playful. If he were the only dog in the house, he'd be a wonderful little guy. I believe he's also trying to establish some "top dog" issues. One good thing is none of them fight, they're all GREAT dogs. Two Pugs and a Boston is a handful, but once JJ gets over this...um..."hump" he'll be great. Advice about the humping in the park would be much appreciated. Thanks. Gloria |

Is he neutered?
I have a female Boston who is spayed. But definitely has some humping, "I'm top dog" issues. Gotta love 'em. But I have begun squelching the humping. At first it was infrequent and minor, then went through a spell where it was all about humping. If you have had other Bostons you know their personalities. But I would think the main thing would be, especially in a male, neutered vs. not neutered. Perry "LDRS News Glo" wrote in message ...
