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

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.

DivineBurke,

This is such a spot-on response. In addition to another in this thread (stating you are allowed to and should control the situation), it’s 100% acceptable for a dog to correct another. Some dog owners see any “bad” interactions as aggressive but dogs can’t learn to interact well without correcting each other. Unless it escalates into a legitimate fight, they should be allowed to work it out.
