Mother/son Behaviour Annoys Me

I am not sure I can do anything about this. Remy is Tag's mom, he is now 5 mths old. She will still clean his peepee for him and I've caught her still eating his poo...only once in awhile tho. She is incredibly patient with him to a fault...she lets him stand on her back to reach things, or get closer to things. But when it comes to a bone/kong stuffed she will take him down if he trys to take it.

Anyways, I'm just talking out loud I guess. We made the decision to try and find him a suitable home, and give Remy some peace. I am afraid that she will be his mother forever, and he won't focus on me at all. We went through training class and he did great....but when I come home it's very hard to get him to comply if she comes into the picture. He immediately leaves me for her. Granted he comes back to me, but you can tell he's divided.

That's too bad Daisie.... I know lots of people who have kept a pup from a breeding and haven't had that problem.... perhaps you could try just boarding him somewhere for a little bit and give Remy some time to forget he is hers.... by now her hormones should have settled to the point where she wouldn't put up with him that much.
I used the mother to help train my pups. Maybe you could try putting that bitter apple or something on his pee pee. Poo poo, well, can't imagine bitter apple detouring that, but maybe a little smeared under the tail would discourage her from returning at meal time. :oops: :roll:
Thanks, I could try that, I have bitter apple stuff.

I was gonna board them this weekend, since we are having to be out of our house for 2 days. Perhaps if the kennel only lets one out at a time, they will have to play with other dogs. She would love that.

At the off leash park he trys to stick to her like glue, and all she wants is to play with the other dogs. He won't play with the other dogs just her.

At puppy play time tho, he thinks he can dominant the other pups like he is allowed to get away with ...with Remy....and we are forever pulling him off. At least he stopped humping, he needs to be neutered next mth.


I sure wish she would just take her dominant position as his mother, and put him in his place. I know she can do it, I see it with the food/treats, and he respects her enough to back off. I can't even pet her, he's stands on top to get closer to me.
