SOS
well,not really.....
Anyway,My husky is about 6 months old,
She understands Sit,down and come here (when I have food)
We Got her spayed
but she has a problem,She is confused about her sex.
She humps..
her big brother did it (or tried to) hump her.
now she humps a pillow.
Before and after her spaying.
Should I try and stop her when she does it(its usually when I'm rolling and playing with her)or let it be?
And why does she do it?She is a Bitch(female)
Also when i am playing with her she bites(play bite,doesn't hurt or draw blood)only me.
She does not understand "No"from me,i haft to use body language.
(I do not hurt her in this process)
To use my body language,I simply grab her at the base of the neck,really her scruff and pull her down to the ground and hold her there and look her right in the eye(she hates that)until she stops biting me(i try to act like a dog in the wild would treat this.)when she doesn't listen she will roll, an it will twist her fur and when she whines i Imeadatly let go.
i do not do this to hurt her but i am getting bite marks and scratchs all over,have any advice?
AnswerSibes are a handful - welcome to life with a crazy! First, humping is not really a sexual gesture - it's a dominance thing, and dogs will do it to try to establish their dominance over something. Sometimes . . . it's misdirected toward poor pillows or stuff animals. A lot of obedience training and redirecting the energy and attention is usually appropriate.
As for the biting - here's a previous answer that might help:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
First, it is important to understand that dogs bite for two reasons: play and defense/aggression. Nipping and leaving red marks (and possibly breaking the skin now and then) is a normal sign of play. Siberians are well known for being an extremely playful breed, and also are well known for being very rambunctious when they play. This nipping is typical.
So, now that you understand that the dog is "playing" it should help you redirect the behavior. I personally encourage the playful interaction. Since dogs associate with their world through their mouths, and is the main way that they play, I think it shows a strong bond that the dog wants to play with an owner. So, rather than stop it, you have to set-up rules around the play. Once those rules are established, dogs generally have pretty quick time understanding and following the rules. Here's what I suggest:
First, get a pair of thick leather gloves. Ray Allen Manufacturing makes some, but you can also go to a hardware store and look for some really thick ones. I've also had luck finding leather welding gloves. They aren't cheap, but they last a long time and it's worth it for the dog. Next, put the gloves on and wrestle and play with your dog. The bites won't go through the gloves, and if the dog bites too hard and the pressure hurts, correct the dog. When play time is over (your decision), take the gloves off and put them away. If the dog tries to continue to bite/play, correct the dog. Soon, the dog will understand that gloves on equals playtime, gloves off means no.
As for the correction, it's a simple strong "NO!" and removing yourself from the situation. If the dog persists, a quick grab of the neck can also be effective. For the first few weeks, if the dog nips at you, immediately go get the gloves. This will also help teach the dog that means play. To this day, my dog (at 3 years old, and we started this method with her at 11 weeks old) will come up and bite my hand gently. I then go get the gloves and we wrestle.
