3 month old Doxen humping my 14 yr old daughters leg?

I got my daughter a doxen for her birthday. Shes like 3 or 4 months old. Shes adorable but I’ve found that she likes to chew on dirty pads and hump our legs?? She digs in the trash can to get the pads out and if we close the bathroom door she scratches and it gets annoying and ruins the finish on my doors. I’d throw them in the kitchen but I have little kids and it really would be a pain in the ass for me to try to explain it to a 4 and 5 yr old or to take the toilet paper and pads out to the outside trash can everytime. Why does she do this and what can I do to stop her?

Answer #1

Add a few drops of citronella to the pads. Most animals hate the smell. Your daughter could put it on her legs if she wants to - but unfortunately most humans hate the smell, too…

Answer #2

Try putting the pads in a plastic bag and tying it tightly right after, and then put them in the trash can. If you throw them in the can bare as they are they can both be seen (by the kids) and smelled (by the dog). If they’re in the tied bag though, they’ll be away from the eye and the smell will stay in as much as possible. Then use one of those anti-scent sprays they use in restaurant bathrooms - spray it in the trash can every once in a while to block the smell even more and confuse the dog. And lastly, file your dog’s claws - a lot of owners do that, it’s very practical and your doors will stay pretty :) Oh, and no, don’t tell 4 year olds, they won’t understand and will just be worried - I mean, however you put it, bleeding is always scary to a child no matter the explanation. Don’t tell them you’ll tell them later either, that will just make them curious and they won’t stop bugging you about it. Or they may think it’s something wrong or bad and hence must be kept a secret. Liberal or not, there’s a time for everything.

Answer #3

you should put it is a plastic garbage bag and when you are done just throw it a way or just put the baby in the crib for a while and if it doesn’t work i don’t know what to do!!!! it is weird

Answer #4

lol thats normal babe. theyre dogs. it would be worse if it was a male dog. just warn your daughter not to sit down infront of it without underwear unless she wants to get hooked to being licked… :) as for wear to put the pads… what would be so bad about telling your kids? they’ll learn eventually. but if you’re uncomfortable you could just do what becca suggested and say you’ll tell them later or you could just find somewhere else for the can. good luck dolly

Answer #5

What is a Doxen?? Do you mean Dachshund?? Nice spelling…

Answer #6

Try lyubopitka’s advice try getting your dog neutered

Answer #7

to stop the dog from humping it is a domence thing have the baby suck on a piece of bread or chew up a piece of hot dog and stand over the dog and give it to the dog. it has to come out of their mouth with their saliva all through it. it will stop I did my Dauschhund and he stopped. but as for the pads good luck they like the blood all dogs do it.
