my puppy is 11 weeks old and is already himping her bed..is this normal!?

Question

i thought they beguing to get in heat almost up to one year!? im confused

Answer 1

A lot of dogs who do this (females especially) are trying to assert their dominance over an object or person when they did this. I had a female 1 y.o Husky who did this to furniture all the time, and then started to do it to people. Her vet said it was a dominance issue, and that I needed to be VERY strict with the dog and not let her dominate anything, and that I needed to make her learn her place in her "pack" (dog language for her family). You need to break her of the habit before it gets out of hand. I'm not saying it WILL, I'm just saying that humping is usually a dominance thing... good luck!

Answer 2

Humping that young is unnatural. Many creatures "hump" for dominance, but that behavior doesn't normally come out until they are older. I would take your dog to a behavioralist who can possibly help you out there.

Also, and I'm NOT saying it will happen, but watch for other dominant behaviors. Even in small dogs, dominance and biting are a real problem. It's not "cute" and they can and will hurt someone. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes it very normal for girl dogs to do this,,, I am a breeder and have talked to my vet about this a to a behavoiral specialist, i know thats not spelled right, about this issue and they both said it is normal to do this they are try to show domience and you have to show that your "alfa" to her,,, I hope this helps

Answer 4

Yes its normal. I don't know why they do this maybe its for dominents or pleasure not sure.

Answer 5

Well, although its gross, I guess she likes it. Its probably normal.

Answer 6

FEELS GOOD FOR THEM JUST LIKE US ONLY IT'S OK FOR THEM TO ACT OUT ON IT WHENEVER THEY LIKE.
