| 4 Month Male Dry Humping My 4 1/2 month old male yorkie has started to dry hump his toys and when he plays with me and gets wound up, he'll grab my arm and start humping. I don't let him and scold him. I thought it was sexual because he is of that age and I haven't neutered him yet. However, I read online that it is a dominance behavior and should not allow it. He is really tiny and not even 3 lbs yet. I plan on getting him neutered when he is 6 months. Just curious if anyone else experienced this and what they did. |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Its perfectly normal, sometimes my female will do it. My male started it when he was young too but I put a stop to it asap. I would just stop him and not allow him near me or anyone when he was in that stage of mind. It didn't take long at all. Although neutering is always best it is not guaranteed to stop the urge to hump. Its just something that they do and yes sometimes can be a way of trying to dominate. You can try to stop the behavior by correcting him and redirecting him by giving him a toy but than he will probably hump that too .
