As far as humping...it's a dominance thing and you just need to tell him to "go down" and give him a little nudge. Over time that should stop... My boy likes to hump two of his toys but I don't let him, instead those favorites of his are kept in his crate where he can cuddle them instead (while he sleeps). Redirecting is the easiest thing to do for a dog...before it becomes a "habit", that's a whole other animal!  |
Thanks for the advice. I'll start keeping a toy on the console in our foyer & see if it that changes anything. I agree, redirecting works. Consistent redirecting.
