It’s been quite a week of bronchitis! 😷 I’m STILL sick, but finally feeling like I’m on the mend. Thanks for everyone’s well wishes and patience with rescheduling and shuffling things around this past week. We’re now on a much needed vacation for ten days, to convalesce, hopefully get up to the mountains to play, and honor the memory of my late sibling, Rae, whom we lost 10 years ago this month. ❤️

Feel free to reach out via the client portal or the website for booking requests as per usual; we’ll get back to you after the 30th! 🐾🐾🐾

Great info about a commonly confusing topic!

Is mounting or hu***ng a sign of dominance in dogs?

Hu***ng or mounting is a fixed action pattern (FAP), which are innate behaviours. These are behaviours that are common to all members of a species and require no learning. A Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) is a predictable series and stereotypical sequences of complex actions triggered by a cue - www.simplypsychology.org. www.sciencedirect.com.

Hu***ng or mounting is NOT:
Dominance
Controlling you or another dog
Alpha behaviour
Only seen in unsterilised dogs
Only seen in males
Only seen in younger dogs
To cause you embarrassment
To get your attention or get back at you

Hu***ng or mounting by male or female dogs of any age CAN be due to:
Excitement
Sexual rehearsal
Burning off pent up energy
General stimulation...yippee, something’s happening!
Stress/Anxiety/Displacement behaviour
Play
Hyperarousal
A medical issue
Boredom
Frustration
Burning of excessive energy (like zoomies)
Ambivalence about a situation or a dog
Unease
Tiredness

If you are worried:
Make a note of how many times a day this is happening.
Take your dog for a medical check up.
Contact a up to date science-based behaviour consultant to identify the triggers and the emotions to be able to develope a modification plan to improve the emotional state and hence the behaviour.
What to do in the moment - if the dog underneath seems uncomfortable and stressed then please interrupt. It may mean that the 'top dog' is unable to read the body language of the other one. Rather redirect that energy to a toy or chew as opposed to saying off. Give him something mentally stimulating to do instead. If they are having turns and alternating this behaviour with other behaviours like chasing, tumbling, play bows, etc., then leave them be.
Be careful of your dog doing it to random dogs in a park that he does not know. The unknown dog could become aggressive due to not wanting the behaviour.

Note - many Google searches for this behaviour will bring up the word dominance. The behaviour is not due to such a simplistic, misunderstood term. Dogs do it to pillows, toys or furniture - do you think that they are trying to dominate those inanimate objects? Every dog is an individual with unique emotions. The feelings and motivations for the behaviour will differ from dog to dog but it is certainly not about dominance. Don't believe everything you read on Google and check your trainer's/behaviourist's credentials. Let's not label every behaviour beyond our understanding as dominant 🙂

Most guardians rush to sterilize their dogs when this happens...it may not make a difference.

For National Dog Bite Prevention Week, Aeris and I are doing some muzzle training! Any dog can bite under the right circumstances, and anyone with a dog (especially a larger dog) would benefit from getting their dog conditioned to wearing a muzzle. The first step is making the muzzle something fun for the dog to interact with. I smeared some peanut butter inside for this quick session, and as you can see, Aeris was really into it. 😍 Note: I won't fully attach this to his head until we've done several more sessions and he's very happy and comfortable placing his head in the muzzle. We're keeping sessions fun and short. Once I get the point where I feel like I can secure it, I'll only leave it secured for a few seconds at a time and reward him heavily each time, working up to longer and longer amounts of time each session. I want him to be totally comfortable and not ever feel trapped!

Good morning snow day!
