Of course my boy is a stud!!!! LMAO, but he's not going to be used as a stud, no... We're definitely getting him neutered at the earliest opportunity - which our vet says is in two months, when he's six months old.
I tried to read up a bit using the search tool on here... sounds like some people think it's an attempted show at dominance, and some think it's natural and shouldn't necessarily be discouraged if it's on a stuffed animal. Everyone definitely seems to say to get him neutered, and hopefully it will stop or at least slow down. Believe me, he will be neutered as soon as it is possible.
But we have two months still to wait, so I think I'm going to side with the dominance idea, especially considering the event he witnessed that I assume started this whole behavior change... We will both make an effort to be more his "alpha" leaders. And we will be shoving him off of us and saying "no" and doing the ignore every time he tries it. Poor guy had better learn to not bite and quit humping fast, or he won't be getting much attention!

PS: Please, if anyone else has advice (or experience!) on young puppies humping humans... please share. I didn't see many posts on owner-humping - mostly just stuffed animal humping. Please tell me I'm not alone, and that it will go away!
