I have read different places that dogs can reach their sexual maturity around 6 mos. Well, Woodrow is not even 5 mos. yet, and he has been going crazy the last couple of days. This afternoon, while he was on the couch, he started scratching at it and pawing it very anxiously. There is nothing in the cushions or anywhere that he could have been smelling.
Today, I also took him to the park where alot of children were around. He absolutely loved it, and while he was lying on his back letting all the children rub his belly, his "lipstick" came out! I was so embarassed.
Then, tonight, he humped for the first time! He spent like 30 minutes literally balling up his bed (we have one of those big pillow beds) so that he could mount it and hump. He has also been extremely hyper today.
The funny thing is, tomorrow is his appointment to get neutered. I just cannot believe he started all this behavior the night before! He must know, and is verrrrrry upset about it.
I just didn't know that puppies started this at this young of an age.
The only thing different that we've done is we finished building him a big, huge kennel outside. He has spent the last 2 days in it. It's huge, and has lots of room to run around and explore. Before, he was stuck inside in his small x-pen all day. However, I don't see how more freedom and room to play could have a connection to his humping. Does this sound familiar to anyone, and is 4 3/4 mos. way too early for this?? Thanks in advance!
