Chaddy's Mummy Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, HUMAN females are his target! He has been desexed since we got him from the adoption home, so I cant relate his behaviour to high amounts of testosterone or anything..... His 'up close inquisitiveness' is rather embarrasing for me as his owner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 He has been desexed since we got him from the adoption home, so I cant relate his behaviour to high amounts of testosterone or anything..... Putting his nose in people's crotches is not a sexual act, so hormones have little if nothing to do with it. It is simply a dog's way of collecting pheramones - scent - which tells the dog much information about the animal it is sniffing. As I mentioned, this is quite normal, but we do need to show them that it's not what humans want. Teach him an incompatible behaviour such as "sit" when he is greeting people and only allow people to pay him attention/pat him, if he is sitting. Prevent the behaviour of human crotch sniffing when you have people around. Praise for the desired behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
