| Is he neutered? If not, you should probably get that done before he starts marking or having aggressive behavior or over reacting towards other dogs. This is probably also the cause of the humping. If he is neutered I would just tell him no every time he humps it and when he is playing with the toy correctly tell him good boy! |

| If you do your research on finding a good vet, he will be fine. Neutering is a very common surgery and if you don't neuter him soon, his behavior might get worse. He will be a calmer and happier dog after the neuter. |

| I was scared to get Bobby nuetered too. I even cried when I dropped him off at the vets office. But once it was done and over with he was up and roaring to go after 1 1/2 days. I think its normal for dogs to hump their toys, even my girl does it. |

| When he's humping, you should tell him no. He is trying to show dominance, and he needs to be corrected.
