I honestly do not know why they allow their dogs to hump them or give them toys to hump. A dog should NEVER be allowed to hump a human, period. Its very simple to stop, especially with a little dog laying in bed with you. Pick him up and put him on the floor or in a crate. Done, Problem Solved, Issue Over. There is no weaning him out of the habit. It is something that shouldn't be allowed and should be stopped immediately. Do not wait the two months for him to be neutered.
Also, don't squirt him wit water for humping. Since this is a behavior where he actually has to be on you to perform it you can end the behavior simply by picking him up or moving away. If he persists, then you must be even more persistent.
I know giving them a toy to hump isn't harming anyone but its still letting the dog know the behavior is acceptable. So what's to stop them from doing it when you have company or to something other then their "hump toy". What if they find something similar at a friends house or a child's toy? not acceptable in my book.
