Testicles! Has anyone else had this happen? The first time she did it I thought it might have just been an accident, but now it's happened probably four times to the point that they've started bleeding. She's almost a year old, he's almost three years old (boyfriend hasn't fixed him because he's considering breeding him...that and it's a male thing that I don't understand). It happens when they're playing--he'll have the tennis ball or whatever she wants to play with, she'll start to chase him, and now she's realized that if she goes for the testicles that he'll squat down as soon as she gets close. He doesn't get aggressive or anything, sometimes he'll yelp, but then he just continues to play with her. Regardless, I'm worried about what might happen if she really bites into them. How can I fix this situation? We watch them and if she gets close we stop her and tell her "NO!" but since they're playing I don't think she understands what part of her behavior is wrong.
I know the simple solution would be to get the dog fixed, but since he's not my dog I don't have that option (my female was fixed early in the summer). I've told my boyfriend all about the benefits of getting him fixed and all of the risks of not doing it, and he still won't commit to it.
