What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it? (lemmy.world)

The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they're trying, but if I weren't there, they wouldn't intervene at all. I'm asking because I want to make sure that I don't over react next time.

If anything does something to your dog you don't agree with you are fully entitled to remove that thing from being near your dog. Grab the other dog by the collar and drag it away (not yanking, controlled movements).

If the owner of the other dog gets angry at this then state that you wouldn't have had to do so if they had the skills to keep their dog having good behaviour. Some times people need a verbal slap in the face to even start thinking about if they should do better. They won't agree with you in the situation, but it may help effect some change in their behaviour over time.

Thank you. This was the comment I needed.

If that doesn't work, mount the other dog's owner to establish dominance.
