Domineering

When she sees any other dog male or female she trys to pin them down not agressive but i have to pull her off Lilly is coming up 7 this year she's never had puppy's and she hasn't been spayed I don't have any other animals, do you think any of these factors could have anything to do with this behaviour x

Has she always done it?

Yes she has x

And another thing she tries to hump the staffie who lives next door it's a good job he puts up with her coz she's always pinning him down n trying to hump very strange lol x

Have you had her from a pup? Sorry for the questions as its usually a dominant thing the humping, but playing rough is totally normal! Have you tried to discourage it any point?

I've had her since she was 6weeks old and I have to be careful coz she's done it before to my dads doberman there 1st meeting and she got him down we separated them n he won't bring him anymore,and all I've really done is pull her off and put her in the house or if I'm out with her I avoid getting to close

Its going to be a difficult thing to break now but not impossible. I'm not really in a position to advise but I know Ella one of our forum members has actively dealt with one her dogs, different situation but she may be able to help. Good luck Xx

Hey

My dog Chance does a very similar thing to dogs, he is an incredibly dominant dog who will pin other dogs regardless of gender down.

I do not let him off lead unless in a remote secure area, so I have the chance to control him with the lead before any problems occur.

Does she recall away from other dogs out of the house? If not i would suggest you leave her on lead around other dogs or try a long training lead.

My way of doing it with Chance is to distract him from the other dog and gain his attention. I need to notice the other dog first and make him sit and get him to the watch me command (basically hold a treat up to your eye level so they 'watch' you and when they do say watch me and give treat).

Also is there any dogs you could take her for a walk with to get some good socialising? but yes you are doing the right thing be separating her from the other dog when she pins them, i would pop her back on her lead until she calms down

Thanks for your help Ella haven't had to put any of what you said into practice just yet as I've been keeping her on lead as she's in season,but as soon as I can il give it a go and thank you again x
