I think that any humping is inappropriate and excessive but I have never seen anythink like my little foster mini George.
When I first brought him home the poor little guy could literally not walk more than two or three feet without lifting his leg and marking. And he was incredibly obsessed with smelling the privates of both Hoot and Jackson. But his incessant humping of Jackson is where the biggest problem lies.
I have pretty much stopped all marking in the house and almost everywhere outside that's inappropriate. And he's still a little interested in Hoot but generally leaves him alone.
But poor Jackson. The first day or two he took it patiently. Then he started growling. Now he's barking and snapping in George's face.
I have peeled George off of Jackson's back leg and he comes away like a silk scarf attached with static electricity. As soon as I let go, he's instantly attached again. I am using a spray bottle of water and we have spent 40 minutes every morning and 40 minutes every night getting drenched. The spray bottle works but he's so obsessed that within seconds he's moving back into position. And because he hates the water spray, he'll stand as close as I'll let him and just whine.
Sometimes he'll get it through his head and be just fine and then Jackson will play with him but once he starts that 'private's sniffing' he becomes single-minded and we go through the wet-head routine for another 30 or 40 minutes.
Any suggestions? He did get nuetered last Thursday.
