my dog is highly sexed he mounts soft toys and often masturbates he is 10 years old can anyone help please?

Question

i have asked the vet about neutering but he says he is too set in his ways too take affect

Answer 1

Your dog is not a nymphomaniac. Mounting is a show of dominance and also a way to burn off built up energy. Obviously in your relationship with your dog, he is in control. You just have to re-establish that you are the pack leader, not him, and enforce that, that behavior is not going to be tolerated.

I'm not saying that you need to hit him. You need to be in a calm assertive state of mind and let him know you are the boss. When he mounts something gently touch him on his shoulder, with a cupped hand, and use a shushing sound. This touch, simulates a nip from the alpha pack leader, saying," Hey, that is not OK to act like that." He will relate the shushing sound to this behavior correction and after a while, will respond to the sound, by itself.

Also, be sure you are walking your dog everyday, and I'm not talking around the block once or twice. He needs to be tired, after the walk, maybe a couple of miles or more, depending on how high his energy level is. This will help use up, any built up energy, and he will be too tired to mount anything. The exercise is not only good for him, but you as well.

Answer 2

Your dog can be neutered at any time, and now seems to be about right. I'm a vet, and I've neutered animals at all ages, that said mounting can also be a dominance display, although it sounds like that your dog's libido is out of control.

Go and see a different vet and insist that he's neutered, the vet will happily do this providing the dog is healthy with no heart problems and the aneasthetic doesn't present a high risk to the animal.

Depending on where you live there are some drugs available to curb your dog's enthusiasm, but they are very expensive.

Answer 3

Neuter the 10 year old dog? What are you people on? The dog is like 70 and it won't change it's behavior and could cause more problems for the dog to go through that sort of surgery.

This is a habit regardless if it is neutered or not. Just like biting your nails. Female dogs do this also, it is their was of showing love.
I'm sorry to say but if they are his toys, then let him be happy. Or you could be mean and take them away or spray nasty crap on them so he has nothing to play with.

Next time you get a dog, get it nuetered by 6 months and if it humps, then tell it no. Mine does it after getting special treats to me for a minute and since he is neutered, I know he isn't horny.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/uwPmA

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Answer 5

Mounting and humping objects is a sign of dominate frustration. Your dog humps things to show dominace to them. It is not a sexual thing at all. If masturbating means licking himself then you are also wrong. Dogs will regularily clean themselves to prevent infection. Your dog has some dominace issues that you should address. If you do not it could lead to more serious problems.

Answer 6

refer to WORM's answer to a question I posted earlier...might be a good solution for your dog...

i prefer dingo, with a peach salsa and a nice cabernet. since dingo is more of an exotic breed for myself (i currently reside in the united states), i normally go with golden retreiver or irish setter. but instead of cooking dog over an open flame, i would go another route since dog meat is a bit tough. it would be in your best interest to douse the dog meat liberally in a vinegar/lemon juice/salt mixture then wrap tight in tin foil. this way the dog meat can cook in it's own juices to produce a tender cut of meat.

Answer 7

Let him be. His advanched age has made him think that he is a pup again with the mind going senile. Normally a sign that a dog has little time left.

Answer 8

Has he been neutered? If not get him done.
((edit))
Even if he is "too set in his ways" there are other health benefits for your dog from having him neutered.

Answer 9

Get another dog,preferably a female !
