THE NOISE MENTIONED! that DOES WORK to make them stop. They have to be trained to understand that the noise means stop what they are doing though. I know when I make a certain noise towards Gucci he will stop WHATEVER he is doing no matter what it is even the humping. I thought you meant to break the behavior entirely. Gucci still does it but I make the noise when I catch him and he will stop.

Do you know the Cesar Milan noise? I use that to stop Morgan from doing any behavior i don't like. So immediately when you see him starting to do it, make the noise to get his attention and then redirect him to something else. Since you say he has a few loofa toys that he goes after always have one handy. When you see him starting his behavior make the noise, and then when he looks at you say good boy and throw another toy. Hopefully he'll go after that. If he just goes to that toy to hump it then its not going to work. Does he like anything else? food, belly rubs, tennis balls...etc?
i think if that doesn't work then i'd have to take away his toys that he humps and not buy him any others that look like them. |
