Oh damn.. Dog rape. o.o
-
How old is it?
-
@Zero LOL I know right.
@DOA I donno. We adopted it and it didn't show it's name or anything. No birth date. -
Okay, but it's not a puppy, right?
-
Wow. XD
-
I really have no idea. It's a pit bulldog mix (I think) that weighs around 125.

@ Sonic That dog ain't funny.

Yep, definately not a puppy. It's probably about 2 or 3 years old. And what it's doing is showing its dominance. It's basically saying "Hey, I'm here now. I'm in charge. Do what I say because I'm the Alpha." We had an Alpha dog (Aspen), and when we first brought home another puppy, she immediately attacked it. My mom had to hit her back with a cooler in order to get her to let the puppy go. But then, it seemed like Aspen started to raise the puppy like it was her's. She would growl at him when he did something wrong (like getting in the trash). So, it has its ups and downs.

Hm.. That actually made sense. Thanks a lot, but, what do I do to make it stop peeing and pooping everywhere, humping me and my brother? How do I make it listen to us?
-
Well, what my dad did to make our dogs from stop using the restroom in the house was when it did it, he would grab the dog by the collar and rub its nose in it (not actually making the dog's nose touch it). But it usually has a spot that it goes to when it has to pee, so if you see it going to that spot and it starts to look like it's about to go, then clap your hands and yell "No!" Or something (it snaps them out), and rush it outside. And then praise him when he comes back.
As for the humping, if you're sitting down, then stand up and say no. If it doesn't work, then snap your fingers or clap your hands and say no again. If you're standing up, then you could push him off of you while saying no.
You make him listen to you over time. Sometimes, dogs can be really stubborn (I have a stubborn dog that didn't listen to us the first six months that we had him). Use treats to teach him how to sit and lie down and to come when you say come (not all at once though, or he will get frustrated and stop).
Also, when you say "no", don't yell it. Just make it sound firm. -
