I have a huge problem here, Diesel is now almost 7 months & I found him multiple times trying to mate with r 10 yr old female mix that is spayed!! All while she is barking at him totally not into what he is trying to do..
Is this normal? What do I do?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Is your male fixed?

Yes it's normal....at least he's going after the right species, wait until he falls in love with your couch.

Just watch and redirect him when he goes for your female. He'll more than likely settle down as he gets older or when (if) you have him fixed.

 

[dsunnym1]

No, He is not fixed. Really was trying to avoid that if possible? Worried it might affect his drive for later training?

in time your female will lay the law down to your pup, all she`ll have to do is look at him and he`ll back away

I'm pretty sure it won't affect his drive

I would correct him when he starts that behavior. Obviously the senior female isn't doing it so you need to step in and let him know it isn't acceptable.
I would wait if possible to neuter him, til he is structurally mature.
This is a training issue, and neutering may not stop him.

 

[dsunnym1]

Thx for all the input. She has tried multiple times to tell him No..He is just so **** stubborn!

There is also a chance that your old girl may have a bladder infection or UTI. This can sometimes cause males to have interest in spayed females.

7 month old male dog = adolescent boy. Their minds operate about the same.

Definitely re-direct him if the female won't.

I would correct him as soon as he even thinks about it. This is not only a disgusting habit, but it's a training problem. Dogs that do this, do not get over it and it usually gets worse by humping everything in sight. Neutering can help and neutering will not lower drive in any way - ask anyone working a bitch if she needed any balls.

correct him when he does it. and have your older female checked for a UTI a someone else stated.

When my male was about that age he would mount our older (altered) male Golden Retriever. Our male dog would look at him like, "Oh no he didn't!" I would just knock him off and tell him "Quit!". It didn't last long and there hasn't been any monkeyshine with any object since.

LMAO, is this like a "don't ask don't tell" issue?

Ok, I admit that I LMAO when it first happened. The look on both of their faces...then it just got plain embarrassing!

My female had vaginitis which also gives off an odor that seemed to get attract attention from males.

 

[white trouble]

is he really trying to "mate" or just mounting? thats the right age to try for dominance. mounting and humping is often a dominance display instead of a sexual act.....does he mount her head and side or just straight to the backside? does he start humping the air whn he smells her backside and drooling or licking? scene 1 sounds more like hes trying to outrank her,scene 2 sounds like a rush in hormones

 

[elisabeth_00117]

I would correct as soon as you see him trying.

Mine at that age tried to mate with a stuffed rabbit........ not the sharpest tool in the shed my boy is..
