I am not starting a debate, you need to post your introduction before making any furhter posts, or you will be removed from the site, this is required of ALL members and you are not being singled out.

Being a moderator, is it our job and responsbility for the good of the board to remind people of the rules, especially when they obviously haven't bothereed to read them, such as yourself. It's not a debate at all, please follow them or be removed. If you don't like the way the board is run please find another, nobody is asking much of you for the use you have of the board for free, it certainly isn't free for the site owner to run it and they are his rules. They apply to all and those who don 't follow them are removed.

Thanks!!

Hi, I just wanted to give an update for all that's interested. We started having our daughter give Murry Treats and give commands; Sit, shake, lie down...etc. She has also been given the responsibility to feed him after school.

The "humping" has stopped and I'm relieved. There are occasional occurrences, such as when she is on the floor (she likes to play horsey) however, she's been asked to firmly tell him no and it's worked.

Both my husband (the original poster to this thread) and I appreciate all the advice regarding breeding, it's not out intention to breed Murry "only a thought" as mentioned before we do have all paperwork pertaining to health/genetic testing from the previous owner, if needed we can submit to the site owner if asked. We have no intentions of discussing breeding on this site or another. I'm not sure why it was even mentioned in the original thread, my apologies to the moderators.

We posted an introduction in the appropriate area, and again we look forward to posting on this site.

Thanks again,

Jetta & Dustin

Thank you for posting your introduction. You only need to submit the health testing of Murry himself to the site owner if you intend to discuss breeding him here, otherwise it's not necessary. I do hope you fully research the breeding if you do decide to go that route as there are already so many boxers in need of good homes and breeding can be very risky. But in any event, thank you for complying to the rules and hope this site is helpful to you in the future.

I am glad to hear that some of the suggestions have been working for you! I have to add one more comment--I think it is great that your daughter has established a much better relationship with your boxer and he is no longer "humping" her....however, you mentioned that occassionally he will try but mainly when she wants to "play horsey"--which I am assuming means that she is probably trying to "ride" him or sit on him...I would discourage this b/c I am sure in your boxer's mind, he sees this as your daughter trying to mount him in a dominant way and he is probably retaliating by then humping her...otherwise, sounds like things are going well, congrats!

Actually, what I meant was my daughter likes to pretend she is a horse... she gets down on all fours and crawls around. Making horse noises, I wouldn't premit her to ride on or sit on our dog.

Again, I appericate all the advice... all is well.

Thanks,

Jetta

Female's dominance.

I've researched for days through topics on female's dominace issues with this but found none. Maybe someone can help?

My 16 week female has been humping my 7 year old son's legs randomly normally when he tires of playing with her and is walking away. We always scold her with "Bad Girl" and make her sit or lay down.

Recently, I wasn't paying her any attention because I was getting my son's homework together for completion but my son was playing with her while he waited. Once I made him sit down to do homework and as I was walking away, she latched onto the back of my leg and started humping me for the first time. I immediately shouted "Bad Girl" and told her to sit very stern.

Was she trying to show me she wasn't done playing and asserting her dominace over me?

It's not dominance at all -- it's very likely puppy play. Scolding her is not going to help one bit, and will only confuse her. Stop doing that right away. Puppies hump things when they are little (stuffed toys, people, other dogs, etc..) until they learn a more appropriate way to play and express their excitement.

What you need to do in the future is to calmly redirect her attention when she starts to hump you or your son. Redirect her to a toy, or take her outside for a potty break. Never ever yell at her.

Good luck
