As the recent adopter of my first male dog, I can tell you this concerned me greatly at first! It would come and go, sometimes more than once per day - but our dog had been neutered only 2 days before we got him. So here I go to the vet and find out that he is just excited!! As long as it's really the base of the penis and not back where his testicles used to be...... and it never lasts more than a few minutes with Sammy before it goes down. It may come back, or not. I've noticed it MUCH less now that we are several months post-neuter, but now it's still a few times a week.
If it has been there SINCE you saw it a few days ago, then I might be concerned. Or if the dog pays it a lot of attention. Sometimes it's worth a few bucks to go to the vet, even if they laugh at you as they take your money [

Oh, and btw, I noticed you're new around here - so welcome! And let us know if this helps you out. Also, we'd really LOVE to see pictures of your dog!!!
