Have you ever wondered why your dog is doing this? I know I have had a guest over before and my dog has gotten excited and done this before. It really is pretty common in many dogs and doesn’t at all mean you have a bad dog. There is always a reason for everything. Determining why your dog is doing this is key. That is why it is important to figure out the real reason in why they are doing this.
I have a guest post on reasons why your dog may be doing this behavior:
Please don’t use punishment to stop your dog from humping. You don’t know what your dog is associating with the punishment. He may think he’s getting in trouble for humping the pillow, so he’ll stop that but may still hump the teddy bear. He may also continue the behavior when you are not around. It is not fair to punish your dog because of something that’s so instinctive, because it could cause your dog to become afraid of you.
It is important for us to understand that dogs do not mate for pleasure. You will not be doing him any harm if you stop him from humping. The outcome will be a much pleasant life for you, your dog, and, of course, your visitors.
For all the details of why dogs really do this be sure to check out the full article.
