Regards Sexually in dogs piggybacks on their prey making instincts, pups playing in the crib will mount each other when playng action stops Dogs have a sensual hunger for the shape of objects oral/sexual , the dog as an animal is attracted to everything , it will find some way to satisfy its hunger , roll in ,taste , smell , chase hump , it's all encompassed within prey making Plenty of examples of male protection dogs very sexually excited by the form of the helper aggravating the dog , German dog handlers were way ahead of the curve in understanding this , to understand prey instinct think sexual instinct , Behaviors in dogs come already encoded , they just need the right energetic environment to express them , but in today's world wires can get crossed , dog attacking kids , toy dogs humping cushions dog rolling in prey / humping prey it's all the same prey making instinct , Edited August 1, 2016 by Casso 2 Quote Link to post
