This is nothing bad one day the pup will let your dog know that it dosnt like it and then he wont bother t again.Also if your dog is not fixed that would help a lot!

Answer #2

This is pure and simple dominant behavior…it has nothing to do with sex. Go to the National Geographic site, and watch some Dog Whisperer clips…he deals with this behavior all the time…Really, there are a bunch of DW’s clips there…a good watch for anybody with a dog.
