Now that she is here, there’s a problem. The two year old (male) dog’s tongue is pretty much permanently attached to her privates. He’ll stop if told to, but is right back two seconds later. This is a step up from two days ago when he refused to be in the same room as her, but other than that, he won’t interact with her.
So, is he just a freak? How can I break him of it without giving him the idea that he’s not supposed to be near her at all?
Also, why won’t the pup just find one spot to pee instead of dribbling a little in several different places? It’s like she’s marking, but she’s only 7 weeks old.
He just trying to get to know her. He thinks “it’s doesn’t smell male, but it doesn’t smell female, WTF is wrong with the little interloper?” Give it some time, he’ll figure out she is neither a threat nor in heat, and find another way to disgust you.
The dribble, I have no clue. If it was a cat, I’d say get her to a vet for a UTI check. I’ve never had a puppy do that. If she was mature, I would assume that it’s a submission thing instigated by the older dog, but . . .
You know, we’ve got a similar thing in reverse. Our 8-yr-old border collie is always sniffing at our new 2-yr-old dachshie’s privates. She’s not licking them, though, so I’m going to count my blessings there. Otherwise they’re getting along reasonably well unless there’s food involved, or except when I get home from work.
Around here it’s fairly common to hear me say to the dogs while I am opening a door and they’ve become distracted while waiting one behind the other, “Get your nose out of your sister’s ass.” One day the neighbors will hear me.
