Help Needed! My dog peed while humping me : (

[jennybenny86]

Hello Everyone!

Back in December my boyfriend and I adopted an adorable 1 1/2 year old English Bulldog named Finn. Neither one of us had any prior experience with the breed and have been trying to learn as much as possible. Finn is a wonderful dog, listens very well, but has issues which we knew about before adopting him.

Every night after Finn and I play with his toys he gets in what I like to call a "humping rampage", him and I go back and forth for over an hour of me telling him no, I try and distract him with his toys, I get up or I move away from him. Now I know that I could easily be part of the problem because I have to learn how to be more assertive and i'm working on that.

But last night the weirdest thing happened and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this, while I was sitting on the couch he jumped up on me and before I could even speak, he started humping me and then preceded to pee on me. Not just a little squirt, a full gallon of pee!!

He immediately jumped off and coward away from me. I was in shock but I didn't yell at him, I just got up and put his leash on and took him outside. He acted like he was afraid of me : (

So the BIG question is, where should I start to fix this problem? Should I make an appointment with the vet first, should I hire a trainer first?

Thank you in advance : )

Welcome to EBN!

Training... you need to be of a leader and he needs to learn that you are. He could be trying to mark you as his.
[MENTION=15364]oscarmayer[/MENTION] any insight?

I agree-your dog may think that he is marking you, as his territory, as he would outside. You must show him that you are the alpha, and don't let him on the furniture, or climb on you. He needs to learn respect. [MENTION=15364]oscarmayer[/MENTION] will probably let you know what to do! [MENTION=19384]jennybenny86[/MENTION]
