that is so sad :( dog/puppies are ForEver ) I would hate to have you as a parent, I might not be what You wanted me to be !!!
I have 2 male Great Danes they are litter mates today one went to the groomers and when he got home the other one started to hump and lick him constantly. At first we let them be thinking they would sort it out but it's been hours now and the one that got groomed is showing signs of stress. We have been stopping the aggressor with redirection he is still trying though. Do you have any ideas why this is happening? What can we do?
Pit Bulls are not naturally aggressive. Thats a big nasty myth. They are trained to be mean by idiots who want a tough dog and though not naturally aggressive they are built to fight with a powerful bite. I could train a poodle to be mean but they don't look the part. If anybody got a Pit Bull puppy and raised him like a normal dog they'd find they are very loving dogs.
It must be a smart puppy to be submissive on another dogs turf. That is just a code of behavior dog's go by to respect another dog and it's turf". They also pick up a lot of information by smelling the other dogs butt. As a pitbull owner myself I think the big problem is that you are used to pitbulls and now have a different breed. A lot of other breeds are much more mellow, and that might be what's going on in your situation.

seems like the perceived "gayness" of their activity is the problem...and the thing about wanting your dog to exhibit "dominant" behaviors (this is all old rubbish at this point - dominance theory has been totally debunked) would make me question whether you should be owning bully breed dogs. You sound like a setup to become a problem owner with a problem dog.
