Hi folks.
My little girl had a split first season. She has a mini season for about 2 days when she was only 15 weeks old and then she had a full proper season when she was 8 months. The problem that she's got is she seems to be irresistible to dogs all the time! Even before she had her first proper season, dogs are always trying to mount her. It's a constant problem. When we got to our ring craft class, all the dogs are small so everyone lets their dog off the lead to run around a socialise but all the males just line up to try and get on her back. The owners think it's funny but I don't. She invariably ends up sitting down between my legs so that I can protect her. One of these days I think she might lash out at one of the other dogs. She recently started barking at them to tell them to get away but some of the cocky ones (usally poms!) just keep trying her patience.
Has anyone got any idea what I can do to stop this? Bitch spray doesn't work. She is bathed weekly and that doesn't help. I think she must just smell really nice but if she does go for another dog as a warning, no doubt I'll be kicked out the class.
Help!
