I've been having a lot of issues with my 3 year old rescue dog. I've had her for about a year now and also have a puppy who is almost 5 months old. Yesterday she got on top of him and was humping him. She does this to almost every dog she meets or at least attempts to. Some dogs don't react but they are usually very passive, while others get very pissed off and it turns quickly to something violent. My puppy didn't react when she did this to him. He just let it happen. But I'm afraid he's not going to always be ok with her doing that to him and he's going to react negatively when he gets bigger/older. My boyfriend was right next to her in the room when she did it so he scolded her and had to pull her off of the puppy. Usually she growls when humping the other dog but wasn't growling in this particular situation.
I have tried training her basic basic obedience and tried doing NILF training and have had a couple different trainers work with us but still no results even after a year. If anything it's gotten worse the longer we've had her and the more comfortable she gets with us. I really don't know what to do. She's really nice to most people and really loving toward us, but I'm afraid there are going to be issues between her and the puppy later on.
Is there anything I can do to prevent these issues? I don't want to have to crate and rotate to avoid fights. If it gets to that point I don't think I would keep her. I'm kind of leaning toward not wanting to keep her anymore but feel really bad about it because she has already went through 2 other homes and had also spent about half a year of her life in a shelter. Is there anything else I can try with her? What is causing her to start acting this way? Is it because the puppy is becoming more mature?
I spend end a couple hours a day working with her and about 30 minutes a day working with the puppy. The puppy is doing great and wants to obey while she does not even though I put in the effort with her. She doesn't seem to want to do what we want her to do. She isn't phased if we scold her for misbehaving. Should I get rid of her or is there hope for her behavior and relationship with the puppy to change?
