My good friend Lou has Chester's 9 month old nephew Becket and he is a wonderful, sweet, awesome little guy BUT a few days ago he did something really odd and Lou wants your opinions.
A few nights ago Lou was sitting on the edge of her bed talking on the phone with her Mother when Becket jumped up on the bed walked up behind his Mommy and peed right on her back. Lou was totally shocked and has no idea why he would do something like that. She asked Becket's trainer when they went to puppy obedience class and all she had to offer was that it was probably a dominance/marking issue.
Has his happened to anyone else? Should she and her Hubby do some work on stressing their dominance and not let him up on the bed again? From everything I've seen on "Dog Whisperer" I think he was marking her as a dominance thing.
I have experienced his marking/dominanace issues first hand and the first time he came here to my house he cocked up his leg and marked my refridgerator. He then proceeded to hump Chetser every half hour or so until Chester showed him who was boss of the house.
Any ideas why he has such a BIG DOG attitude and what Lou can do to stop it?
