I have a six year old male Australian shepherd mix who has been neutered since he was old enough to get snipped [before puberty hit]. My husband's daschund/chihuahua went into heat recently and he ignored her for a week or two, but she's bothered him to the point he's started humping her. He's too big to actually get anything, but it's a bother nonetheless. Is there any reason he would start doing this all of a sudden? She isn't the first intact female he's been around during a heat [last one was a pit bull]. He also hasn't been eating normally recently, even when he's so hungry I can hear his stomach growling, and he refuses everything from dog food to people food. I don't think that has anything to do with the humping and he might just be getting sick, but I'm wondering if they might be related. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Sounds as if the dog is activated by the smell. Humping is one of those instinctual behaviors. He is driven to do it, but really has no clue why. Were both of his testicles dropped when he was neutered?
Just spay your husband's dog and make life healthier and easier.

if he ever had intercourse in his existence, he will proceed to have urges even if if he's neutered. you have purely had him 2-3 weeks, meaning he's have been given 5 years of quite lots unknown heritage. boxers are an especially lively breed and this is he desires a physically powerful jog or very long walk daily, which will decrease his hyper strikes. as for the humping, there is not any longer lots you're able to do different than tell him no and push him away or pull him remote from whom ever he is going after. that's advisable to take him to the vet to get him checked for any form of illnesses or different subject concerns that could desire to be inflicting his strikes. in case you rule out medical subject concerns, then he could choose some pastime, a splash discipline (no longer the hitting variety regardless of the undeniable fact that), and it sluggish to conform along with his new domicile. it may desire to be that for the 1st couple weeks you had him he replaced into disturbing and for this reason quiet, calm, and sexually bored with issues. he could have finally grow to be mushy with the entire situation and is making an attempt to envision his place. the growling sound mixed with him leaping up on you are going to be a dominance technique, wherein case you will could desire to artwork with him for a whilst. oddly sufficient, now and back it may appear as if a dogs is humping while extremely they're attempting to push you down. the two way regardless of the undeniable fact that, that's undesirable behaviour. maximum veterinarians could supply you super advice on what to do approximately behaviour issues, often situations you may ask their advice over the telephone. my advice precise now's to attend and notice with him and get with a vet as quickly as accessible to rule out any medical issues. your dogs could seem unruly yet bear in innovations that maximum behaviour issues could properly be fixed with endurance, discipline, and stable veterinarian advice and education.

Why isn't your husbands dog spayed? That is irresponsible. Your husband is compromising his dog's health by leaving this dog intact.
