No matter why a dog is mounting, it is important to redirect the dog to another
behavior, preferably one that makes it impossible to mount at the same time. The first
thing to do is to attempt to startle the dog by clapping your hands, giving a piercing
whistle, or a quick shout of âhey!â. If you can get the dogâs attention and call him to
you, that is ideal. However it is often necessary to go over and separate the dog from
whatever has his attention. Once the dog is focused on you, give him a command.
Giving a command as simple as âsitâ or âdownâ can be enough to distract the dog,
especially if the dog has not developed a mounting habit. Dogs that are frequent
mounters often give signs that they are about to jump up on someone or something.
Once you figure out these signs, your goal should be to stop the dog before he has a
chance to mount at all. This behavior is self-rewarding and no amount of punishment
will take that away. Therefore, stopping the mounting before it starts can help diminish
the behavior more quickly.
If the dog is really riled up and continues to try mounting, it may be necessary to give
him a time out. Closing the dog in a crate, separate room, tethering him, or putting him
on a long down-stay are all appropriate time outs. The idea is to take the dog out of
the situation to give him a chance to calm down. This works whether the dog is stressed
out or showing dominance. (My personal guideline for letting a dog resume play is
once his pupils are no longer dilated and he is able to follow simple commands. Other
things factor in, but those are the first two things I look for.)

My small dog ate a considerable amount of candle wax...?
Temaris
We've had her since December 2012 and she has not yet eaten any household objects she shouldn't, so I don't know what to expect from this. She's 2 and a half years old and weighs ~16 lbs (tibetan spaniel/jack russell terrier cross). After I fed her breakfast she disappeared into the living room for a few minutes and when I entered she was sulking in her crate-bed; only when I inspected did I find the tinfoil coverings of three sweet scented votive tea candles. The wrappings were chewed (but not eaten) and her breath smells like the candles so it's obvious she ate all of them. I have placed a call to the vet; however can you give me any advice or anecdotes pertaining to this issue? I can't say if they were organic/natural candles as we've had them for forever. Also, is this a lot for a dog her size to ingest? She's healthy and doesn't have any digestive problems we know about, but my biggest concern is her size compared to the volume of wax. To be as clear as possible, this is the size of candle she ate, and she ate three of them.

Is some vomiting and/or diarrhea the worst I should expect? This won't kill her or cause any serious damage, will it? I know dogs generally have stomachs of steel but she's the first dog I have owned and I can't help but worry. You could say I'm a novice in this area of pet care.
I forgot to add- any symptoms or signs I should be watching for?
Answer
I'm going to refrain from telling you to get a match ...[g]
They are only TEA Lights, ( I was more concerned, until I saw the pic) so that isn't a huge amount for a 16 lb dog. You can probably expect some "speckled" poop in the future, depending on the candle color. Or perhaps an amount of throwing up, but I suspect she'll just pass the pieces.
I wouldn't worry or be concerned too much (which does nothing anyway) you already have a call into the Vet. :)
