hey i am new on here but i have some questions about behavior
Submitted by Rocco84 on September 16, 2010 - 3:37pmMy bullie Rocco is now 8 months old and i think i am starting to run into some behavioral issues. I am not sure if it is just cause he is still a puppy and is in that adolescent phase but he humps everybody all the time (once in a blue moon he'll hump me) and i can't seem to get him to listen to me even though months before he would so that is why i think he might be going through a phase...he also is starting to pull alot more in his harness when i take him for walks, maybe someone can offer me up some advice. Did any of your bullies act the ssame way at this age, thanks again. By the way my name is Nick and I am glad to be part of this forum

Hi and welcome.
If you post on the general forum, you will probably get more responses. My Kofi is a female, but she did go through a brief humping stage. Someone said they just said "no disco" to stop that action. Lynn King posts here, but she is gone for a week or so. She told me not to be alarmed, sometimes they do it when they get excited. I think it was that and a control thing with Kofi. She hasn't done it for a long time now.
Is your guy neutered?
I'm sure you will get some positive advice if you post on general. I think people check that forum more often.
Rocco is a cutie! Thanks for posting his picture.
Hi Nick!
I have a female, so I am no help with male issues. but I did want to say Hi!

Hi Nick and Rocco
Chumlee corners the kitty in the dark hallway and humps him a few times. If I catch him doing it I usually laugh so loud I scare him and he stops or the kitty gets away. It happens fast and its over fast. He isn't neutered. I understand you are frusterated hopefully someone will chime in with some advice with the humping. As far as the pulling on the harness I do believe there are some harnesses out there for dogs that pull or you could try to keep treats with you to keep him interested in being with you rather than being with everything else.
