maturity and behavior changes

[psettle]

I do appreciate the advice and replies, the problem does seem to be subsiding. Some one at my training club thought it might have been the addition of my new police dog. (Im a police k-9 officer) He is a really dominant male and it may have disturbed her idea of pack ranking. But that was a confusing idea to me because they get along so great.

Trying to figure them out is just one of the little things that make dogs so interesting.

You are so right about that. I hope this problem just resolves itself
with time. Do you have any pictures of your dogs to share here?

At 15 months and with a new male around she may well have had her first season or at least a period of time when she was close to a first season. This would have made the male very interested in her and she would have been very aware of her rear end though not at all ready to mate.
