Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | Max did the same thing when he was 4 months! It is funny seeing such a little pup doing that. I guess it is just instinctual. I didn't let him do it and he hardly ever does that now at 7months.

| Jack did the same thing. I got freaked out when he actually got to stuck to it. I could not figure out what was going to when he tried to walk and it was stuck to him. When I got closer I could see his little thingie was out and that is what was kinda stuck to the material. I think he was as freaked as me. Needless to say that thing went in the trash afterwards. |

| My Yorkies, all girls, hump this stuffed lab puppy that is in a sitting position. They never hump anything else so I let them. I just make sure to hide it when people come over.

| Both Maggie and Shayla hump this stuffed pink sheep that we have for some reason. Maggie is four and a half and Shayla is going on 17 months. Lindi and Mica never seem to do this though. |

| Ziva is 3 and hardly does it anymore- really stopped when we got Abby (who never does it)- I think she was overtired or bored- it was usually in the evenings. Always the same stuffed tiger, puppy size. |

| Nope ur not alone, I have a 7 yr old and a 7mo old, they both hump the crate beds; infact, for two spayed girls they are "wild thangs" they go to town...aggravates me to no end.

| Uni does it to her beds only and usually in the evenings. She's always done this, before and after spay. I think its hilarious. She gets so into it that she moves her bed around (its a circular bed) and knocks her head against the wall and still keeps going. When she was a puppy I heard a knocking sound from upstairs, and I was downstairs. It was Uni humping away LOL!! |

| When my yorkie was little he did that too! It's their way of saying that this is my territory. If you give him a simple "no." everytime he does it, he will learn to play with the toy with out having to take control. |
