If You Have Dogs, This Might Concern You

Imagine yourself and your dog enjoying the small pleasures of nature while strolling through a park. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and a light wind is blowing through the trees. Life seems like a stroll through a park. As you stoop to fasten your shoelace, Fido determines that now is the ideal moment to jump on another dog, or worse, someone's leg! The terror, the humiliation, and the clumsy attempts to free entangled limbs and fur! But before you assume that your dog is simply being mischievous or domineering, keep in mind that mounting typically indicates that your dog is processing intense emotions. This could be anything from experiencing anxiety to being overly excited.

Rather than sit through the embarrassing moments, something needs to be done. By teaching your dog alternate methods to express their feelings or cope with their environment, thorough training may typically stop this behavior. Still feeling desperate? To rule out any medical causes, it is best to consult a veterinarian. Experts can provide customized advice and even suggest a behavioral specialist to address the problem directly. Such preventative actions have benefits for both you and your pet.
