Humping cushions

  Eleanor's teaching Dempsey not to hump the cushion!

He learns very quickly, but unfortunately also forgets very quickly.

Good luck Eleanor!

Thank you! It's not really an active thing. More of a spur-of-the-moment training session after he decided to have his way with a large sofa cushion.

He does love cushions!

Sneaky little sod

omg my dads dog does this to and once I caught him trying to hump the spare tire from my car. why are male dogs so strange

The spare tyre? Well, that's certainly different!  

Dempsey's not tried to do that!

Males in general are strange

am thankful the boys have never really been humpers

Demps has never been much of a leg humper, but he does like cushions.

Kuchar has to the best of my knowledge only humped 3 things - my arm when I was sitting down when he was a puppy, a visitor's leg, and a (male) cavalier spaniel (whose owner has never forgiven Kuchar or me).

Since castration - nothing   

The owner is holding a grudge because their dog was humped..? Wow.

Yep! Afraid so. Takes all sorts to make a world doesn't it.

I think this person needs to get a clue.

tbh, it was when Kuchar was a year old and in the days when I was still trying to exercise Kuchar off-lead. Kuchar was happily playing about with his doggy best friend and another nice dog, when Cav appeared (also off lead). Initial playing and chasing about soon resulted (to my surprise) in Kuchar humping Cav. Whereupon Cav's owner took him away. They got about 50 yds away when Kuchar wondered where's Cav gone? and chased after him. Like a lot of Staffies, he went to deaf to my attempts at recall. On Kuchar's approach (not barking, still wanting to play) the owner scooped Cav into his arms and held him high. Understandably Kuchar jumped up excitedly around them (still no barking). When I caught up with them owner shouted "what kind of a dog is that?". "A Staffie" I replied, whilst managing to catch hold of him. "He should be on a lead if he can't behave himself" retorted Cav's daddy "we're just trying to go for a peaceful walk". Which I suppose they were.

Well, Kuchar has never been allowed off lead again. And I still get a glower from Cav's owner if our paths happen to cross.

Sorry! Hijacked this thread!   

Err... The owner allowed their dog to run up to other dogs, who were playing. Their own fault. Next time he/she gives you a filthy look, I hope they remember that.

Pretty much every thread goes off topic, don't worry!

 

Meanwhile - back to humping cushions ...........   

Demps also loves to chew the corners of cushions.

Although Kuchar has never shown the slightest sexual/dominance tendency towards cushions, chewing/disembowelling figures large in his sins. I'm not talking little scatter cushions, oh no, but those large sit-upon cushions. Just WHAT is the attraction?????? I have mended, patched, mended, restuffed, mended, patched ................ AAArrgghh!

Thank heavens I only paid 99p plus £10 delivery for my latest "suite" (Ebay).

I'll never understand it!

Dempsey also digs up carpets and buries himself underneath them.

Dempsey - don't you DARE pass on this trick on to Kuchar!

We'll have to make sure they never get in contact with each other!

Lol, not a lot of chance unfortunately! Let's hope they don't discover Facebook   

You know, there is a Facebook for pets!
