Spiritbeast Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hey, I’m having a bit of an issue where my pup (12weeks this Thursday) is constantly trying to hump my older staffy and my children. She doesn’t try with my older bitch because she will tell her off. My staffy just stands and takes it and even if he does try and run she’s all over him humping any direction she can. Then she tries to hump my children’s legs and if she can’t she then starts to nip at hands and arms. I try to tell her no and remove her from whoever she is humping or biting but then she goes straight back to it, mostly to my staffy more than anything. She has been great in her crate and I do place her in it when she’s like this and she doesn’t make a fuss, she lays or sits until I let her out again. So yea, humping and nipping I’d like to fix, would love some advice [emoji5] Overall she’s a really good girl IMG_7330.HEIC Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Humping can be over excitement so if she's playing when it's happening it would the a case of calming her down before it escalates to humping stopping play till she's calmer and then letting her carry on I don't really think humping is this massive issue everyone seems to think it is , with the nipping get them to cross their arms and turn their backs tell them to be as boring as possible , remove her from the situation or redirect her to something she can chew instead Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritbeast Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks, humping is when she’s wanting to play, it’s just a bit awkward when she’s humping the kids lol. I’ll get my kids to try that also as atm we just tell her no biteSent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Male and female dogs do this during play, interrupt her when she’s doing it and say No, but not aggressively, teach ‘watch’ command and then praise, usually interrupting will stop it.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiritbeast Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Today she’s not over excited, my staffy is just trying to sleep but she’s still humping him whenever I leave her with him. I don’t really want to lock my staffy in another room to get a rest from her Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Maybe you could wait until your staffy is sleeping and use the time to train some commands with her, distract her, play or train. Husky’s can be high maintenance, they’re intelligent and need to be occupied otherwise boredom sets in and then mayhem [emoji33] Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her teeth though, she’s a four legged jaws at the moment! I’ve booked her in for puppy classes too but it’s so busy I have to wait until next month [emoji17] This was her last night on a dog walk with about 8 other huskies/malamutesIMG_7399.HEICSent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
