This is a new one. I was working with a couple of rescue dogs last nite and came across an issue I've never dealt with before. One of the males we are trying to teach basic "manners" to likes to hump bushes. Yup, small little trees are the objects of his affection. We went for a walk and he had to stop to profess his undying love to every bush in the park. Of course, we remove him from the areas of distractions, but short of spraying every bush in our neighborhood with Bitter Apple, I don't know what else to do. Any ideas? He was neutered when the rescue group got him, but we don't know for how long. He is approximately 9 months old.
