RE: [PyrNet-L] Help with problem

["Xerri, Tania (2318)" <txerri@baycrest.org>]

I make it a point to close all doors and search for lurking Pyrs when in any
state on undress - one never knows when that sneaky cold Pyr nose will be
rammed into ones unsuspecting backside!!!

My female is gentle - My visiting Pyrboy can lift me off my feet!!! I keep
my hands down in anticipation of a sniff - ready with the defense is my
motto.

Anyway - I think it is a natural thing for dogs to do - Pyr's do it so well
because they are so tall!!

I find they only do it to people that they like/are interested in - tell
your friends to think of it as a compliment (you can cringe now!!)

All the best, Tania

	Hi,
	 
	I need some advice on a rather embarrassing problem.  My male pyr is
really bad about sniffing us and guests (and people we meet on the street)
in inappropriate places.  We've tried a very stern "no!" and now have moved
on swatting him.  When he does this, he now scrunches up his eyes like he
knows he's going to get swatted but it doesn't deter the behavior.  I have
looked through a dozen books and searched for info on the internet about
this problem but have found absolutely no literature on it.  Any advice?  He
is around 3 years old and was only neutered a few months ago.  Is it
hopeless?
