About Patti
Expertise
To date, I've owned 7 dogs, all of which have lived into old age.
Having cared for them in all stages of life, I feel I can offer sound advice to other pet owners, and people considering getting a dog.
I am knowledgeable about the AKC (American Kennel Club) dog breeds, training and exercise, caring for sick and elderly pets, feeding, as well as many holistic treatments pets can benefit from.
My only request is that you write me using standard English and punctuation.
Experience
My life experience in this field is more like "on the job training" rather than an actual degree in animal welfare. You may benefit from my experiences over the past 30 years.
Aside from the dogs I've owned, I'm also involved in "breed rescue" and have fostered several dogs, all of which have been adopted to wonderful "forever homes".
I find helping people who want a dog very rewarding.

Dogs - My almost 2 year old neutered male has been humping a lot and then whimpering
Expert: Patti - 9/22/2008
Question
I know the humping/mounting is a dominance thing....and a behavior issue. I DO try and stop it when I catch him.
But sometimes I just observe him and after humping he stands back and looks at the item and whimpers ..is he frustrated, in pain? No pain behaviors.
Answer
Hi Chelle,
One out of three neutered male dogs still engages in humping years after neuter surgery.
I can't say why your dog whimpers, a whimper is a way dogs express anxiety or misery. However, if your dog is whining, that implies frustration, and may also be associated with attention-getting.
Your best bet is correcting your dog's behavior with as much consistency as possible.
Best of luck,
Patti
