Rocky and Duke are just driving me insane!! They dont play with eachother any more, they just ...ummmm....do the deed to each other!!

all day long, everyday!!! I am getting seriously grossed out!! It is mostly rocky, as he seems to be the best at it!

He always goes for dukes head, and duke just lets him, and bites at his..umm...thing!! I swear if I didnt know an better I would think they were "Confused".

I know it is primarily a Dominant issue, but my goodness, how ong is this gonna go on??? Try explaining this to a 7yr old on a daily basis!! Especially what the thing that comes out is!!

Are they both neutered? Since it's spring there may be a female dog in the neighborhood that's in heat and triggering their hormones. Another possibility is that one of them has a full anal gland. This will often confuse the issue too!

You might try seperating them for awhile. If they whine and and make a fuss while trying to get back together; you can be pretty doggoned sure it's either hormones or the anal gland.

If it's dominance, (which I doubt) they'll work it out before too long.

They are both Neutered. They usually go out seperately, and when Rocky is out, Duke will whine. When duke is out, Rocky could care less. But Duke also has Seperation Anxiety, so not sure if that is why he whines. But Duke is also known as a pretty good Whiner, as It dosent take much to get him to Whine!

There are no unfixed females around that I know of, but the neighbors just recently adopted a female dog, and she comes over all the time, and torments the dogs trough the fence, but she is fixed, or so the owners say.

LOL..funniest thing I've read in a long while. Don't know the cause but I've seen two females do this. Tell the kids the dogs are trying to play leap frog but aren't very good at it. Wouldn't know how to explain "the thing" though lol.

Yeah I know it is pretty funny!! But geesh! enough already!! A firend told me that she always told her kids that the "thing" was the dogs Lipstick, but I think that explanation would go bad very quickly!!
