Coco & the Malinois
Yesterday at the park, a Malinois went to see Coco when they were both off leash.
Coco was not happy about it as she is shy with big dogs and the Malinois was way bigger than her. Coco started to walk away, and the other dog run after her and tried to put his paw on her back, so she started to really run away. The other one run too, and obviously faster, and he grabbed Coco with his front legs and put her underneath him and was acting like he wanted to make her puppies quite agressively. Of course Coco had her tail down and looked like she was about to have a heart attack. And so did I .
My BF managed to take the Malinois off Coco, while his owner was lazily walking towards us saying "he's not mean" !
Coco has been spayed a long time ago, so any idea about what happened?

Re: Coco & the Malinois
Some males are notorious humpers. Coco sounds just like Lily. Run from the dogs that are too 'friendly'. There are observances that must be addressed, protocol! I bet Coco would like a big dog IF he acted like a fine gentleman...
Re: Coco & the Malinois
My daughters dog was neutered at a very young age (under 2 months not by her either) anyway we didn't think he would even know what to do if he had the chance.. Wrong he tried numerous times with Nikki when she was just 12 wks old.. go figure..
Re: Coco & the Malinois
Oh, I bet Coco did not like that!
Mia would be just the same - she hates aggresive suitors. She also puts her tail down and looks miserable.
Many dogs do that even though they are neutered. Sometimes it is an alpha thing too. They will do it with males too.

Re: Coco & the Malinois
When an Alpha wolf returns to the pack they put one or two paws over the top of inferior wolves with no aggression just to show they can and probably to check out if the lesser wolves are still accepting them as Alpha. Humping and that sort of behaviour is not always *Censored Word* sometimes it is just a way of dominating to see if the other dog is lower on the social scale and because they can! If Coco had turned round and told him in Chownese to get off in no uncertain terms chances are he would have.
Poor Coco I bet she was scared. That is one big dog

I am probably the only one on here who wishes her chow would be just a little bit more agressive with the other dogs.... Coco is the sweetest and when she doesn't like the other dog's behavior, she always runs away. She has never, ever, growled or shown teeth to any annoying dog, even the tiniest one. I would be so proud if she would... I sometimes want to tell her why do you run away from that chihuahua, you just have to growl a little, you have a huge deep growl, it would back off right away!

Re: Coco & the Malinois
Poor Coco - that dog and the owner were certainly not gentlemen.
Poor little girl - that big dog needed your boy friend's boot right up his backside - damage his tackle!
I am so mad!!

Re: Coco & the Malinois
You know, you are right. The man should have pulled his dog off. Not goo manners.
And, Elodie, I know exactly what you feel - Chutters has never growled and doesn't even hardly bark. He's the softest creature I have ever known. He won't stand up for himself either. He has had dogs at the dog park try to do that to him - and he just sits there, LOL!!

Re: Coco & the Malinois
Hugs to sweet Coco...the Malinois was testing the dominance factor. Hope Coco is okay now. The owner should have been a bit quicker to get his dog off of Coco.
Sometimes Nahkohe will rest his muzzle over Shiloh's back. IMO I think Shiloh is thinking "whatever" because she out-smarts him on just about everything.

Re: Coco & the Malinois
Ohhh! Poor Coco! Give her a big hug for me please and a squishy face rub! Is she okay now?
Re: Coco & the Malinois
Yes, thank you she's ok now...
I knew right away looking at that dog walking towards Coco that he was up to no good...
I guess that won't help Coco feeling more comfortable around large dogs too .

Re: Coco & the Malinois
Oh, poor Coco. She just doesn't like dogs bigger than her and this one was not observing the proper protocol in dealing with the Parisian Chow Princess either. Bad dog, bad owner for letting him do that!
I'm sure it was a dominance thing. Teddy is neutered and yet at woof fest tried to hump a male or two. I didn't allow that, however, and pulled him off immediately. And that is what this dogs owner should have done!
Give Coco a hug from me and tell her she just needs to learn to assert herself.
