  Hi

  Because he can't reach the rest of you. This is not always a sexual behaviour and is sometimes quite a challenging one so just calmly walk away. Do not tell him off or get cross just prize him off and walk away with no eye, voice or physical contact. Be quite serious about it all, head up, stiffen your body a bit and walk out of the room. Come back in and if he does it again, repeat  until he stops.

  This hopefully will stop any embarrassing behaviour when he decides to do this during a family get together.

  It's quite a common behaviour with small rat type terriers.

   

  Best wishes

  Good Dog? Bad Dog?

  Good Dog? Bad Dog? By Rosie Barclay. This book concentrates on changing the traditional views of how we perceive and treat our dogs using what we have learned from scientific research so far. It starts at the beginning by looking at ways of how to chose and bring up a new puppy that may reduce the likelihood of future problems. It then goes on to cover different problems that commonly occur between owners and their maturing or adult dogs by discussing real case studies. TO BUY VISIT www.rosiebarclay.com
