A huge congratulations to Connie and Lennox on their new journey together! I know Connie will take the very best care of Lenny and look forward to happy updates in the coming months as Lenny learns what it means to have the forever family that he has always deserved to have!

Thanks to for all that you do to make these new beginnings possible for the dogs and their people!

Miles was a great confidence booster buddy for Lucy tonight. She’s getting a little better with traffic noises and motorcycles each day we work on it :)

Miles was the security buddy for Lucy’s walk today! We had the perfect distance from a main road to make it a fun game to hear motorcycles and loud trucks and Lucy did awesome!!!

HU***NG HOUNDS
It’s not always about what it looks like.

Some dogs do and some dogs don’t, but if you have a dog that humps at the most inopportune times it can be particularly embarrassing or annoying.

Other dogs, other people, visitors, toys, cushions, furniture, anything that can be mounted and clung to may be fair game.

As people, it’s natural to assume that this behaviour is of a sexual nature, that our dogs must be oversexed, sexually frustrated or the all-too-common incorrect belief that our dogs are just trying to be “dominant” or “the alpha”.

Hu***ng, like many other dog behaviours does not always have a simple reason. It can be a complex behaviour which is usually emotionally or socially based.

When hu***ng is annoying another dog or person or causing frustration, discomfort or harm in any way, then obviously this behaviour needs to be addressed, but sometimes we need to consider if it’s really something we need to stop because as people, we see it as socially unacceptable?

Is it just a harmless way of relieving stress or anxiety or a way to release excess energy. Is a little hump now and then okay if it’s not causing any harm?

One of my boys (I’m referring to my dog - just to prevent any misunderstanding!) humps one of my other dogs every Saturday morning without fail.

This happens when we get back from a long walk in nature. I allow him to do this because I understand it’s his way of releasing excitement and calming himself down.

As long as the other dogs don’t mind, I don’t believe it’s causing any harm as it’s a healthy way of self-regulating.

If we prevent this, correct it, or at worst punish this behaviour are we removing a harmless natural outlet and risking another unwanted behaviour taking its place?

Hu***ng is one of the most misunderstood behaviours.

Very often, behaviour is not about the way it looks, but the way we perceive it from our human perspective.

Lucy did better with Zuko joining her walk but was still pretty worried about motorcycles and bikes zinging by today. She does recover from it fairly quickly when she gets worried and bounced back each time she got concerned but she will definitely need more confidence building in the city and we’ll need to find a way to watch that stuff with some more space.

Lucy was pretty unsure of all the city noises with all the extra wind today but we did get her confident by the end of her walk. I think having her do some walks with a more confident buddy will be helpful so she’ll have Zuko joining for her next ones :)
