safneo Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 First thing I'd do is put a house line on him so that you can keep control over him so as not to upset your other dogs. Then you should ring the rescue for advice. I would think if he has only just been neutered he should be being kept calm at the moment anyway. Mounting isnt always a sexual thing. It can be a 'dominance' thing or sometimes an acquainting thing. It is possible though, that having only just been neutered his hormones are still raging. it an take a few weeks for levels to reduce. I'm sure that some of the more experienced trainers will have some more ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Could you separate him from the others with a child gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 What kind of dog is this foster? Hopefully when he settles in with you and his hormone levels start to drop there might be some peace and quiet. He must be fast on his feet to even catch Paddy, let alone try to mount him!

Dragonfire Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 When we first got our lurcher he'd been neutered about six weeks before...but even now, two years later, he tries to mount other dogs..as said, its a dominance thing as much as a sexual one. Hopefully once they decide the pecking order, he'll stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Don't worry, not every foster mum can foster every dog, it depends how a particular foster settles down in your existing pack and this one seems like a pushy fellow. So don't doubt yourself, see how it goes, and if he fails to settle and has to go to a different foster don't blame yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
