Question
MY 1 1/2 YR. OLS CHICHUAHUA WILL NOT MOUNT HE DOES LICKING GETS ERECTION THEN HUMPS MID AIR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM THIS IS THE 3RD RIPE FEMALE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Answer
If he'll allow it try helping him. Hold the female and position her correctly. With small dogs this is sometimes difficult as they will sort of cower down and lose interest. You'll have to keep working with him until he does allow you to help. If he EVER gets it right once, he'll never have a problem again LOL Give him lots of low key soothing praise and keep things as calm and quiet as possible when helping him. And be SURE the female is ready. At least in her thirteenth day of bleeding or later.
