Dominance issue?? *pics*

[K9karen]

I probably shouldn't even try to answer, as there are incredibly more knowledgeable people here, but I will say one thing I remember well from a friend's dog. He was a huge male black pittie, just sweet and loving, and I met him at 5 weeks. But as he got older, and saw me at any time, the first dominant thing he did was hump me. I also got kisses, but according to my vet, oops, I was putty under his paws. I kept telling him I was too old to have puppies, but seriously, it wasn't funny or cute after a while.

I think it is normal if he isn't housebroken yet as you just got him. He's very cute..congrats!! as for the dominance issue, when he starts doing that..say a firm no and eventually he'll stop. (atleast I hope so!) I am no expert, though. I am sure others have more advice for you.

I'm sorry I don't have much advice for you. Nuetering should really help most these problems. It's normal that he's not potty trained yet... some learn it faster then others. Hope someone can help you.

yes humping is a dominance issue.......is the doggie way to say whos the boss, and maybe since he is a male (females also do that, well dominant females) and is getting bigger he might think "i´m gonna be the boss here" so i think you should walk away when he does that or hold his front paws or just de-balance him, so he gets the idea thats not good .........or perhaps you should hump him like a dog would do and do as your vet said holding him as if you where his mom cause thats the way a mom teaches doggie manners......
hope i helped a bit maybe someone can help some more........sending good thoughts your way.......
