Dog is acting really odd around me?

Question

My boyfriends dog is acting really odd with me... I just met this dog and he really likes me, kind of too much... the first night i met him he attempted to hump me multiple times, a problem he has apparently never had before. He also stopped by the door to wait for me everytime my boyfriend tried to get him to go outside to use the bathroom, he would only go out once i went with him, and i just met him so he doesn't have any attatchment issues.
The next time, acouple days later he started barking, sniffing the carpet and acting scared. He kept looking under the living room table and spazzing out till he eventually ran away. It was like there was a mouse under the table. Once my boyfriend came into the room he started to calm down, so he left again and after he did, this dog got really excited again, started pacing, licking me, and attempted to jump up on the couch to hump me, i called for my boyfriend to see what was happening at which point he attempted to hump me again while i was standing... he's also been whimpering around me and overall just acting odd and apparently out of character... any ideas why he's doing this and why it seems to only involve me?

Answer 1

You really know how to spin a tale. Talk to a dog behaviorist perhaps they can help you.

Answer 2

His dog could be taking ownership over you, as a new member of their household (obviously accepted by the his boy). This would explain the humping overkill , and why he's calmer when your boy friend is around.

Try to strengthen your energy around the dog. Feed him if you ever get a chance, walk him if you can, make him sit and/or teach him a new trick. All of these things will strengthen your bond and show him you do not need taking care of (though you appreciated the gesture!)

And always remember, you wouldn't tolerate that behaviour from a person, sometimes it's as simple as having the same expectations from a dog.

Good luck!

Answer 3
