| Should I take his toy away from him? When I first brought Bailey home he was a little over 9 weeks and right aways he started humping this certain toy. He will be 9 months old on Jan 12th and he was neutered at about 6 months. The problem is he will still on occasion hump this certain toy, he'll take the toy on to the bed at night and he gets pretty rambunctious with it, Usually I take the toy from him because I get scared that he will fall off the bed..well, yesterday he got his toy again and he was humping it on the bed, he ended up humping himself right off the bed, I was on the phone at the time and it scared me to death, I hung up the phone to check him, thankfully he wasn't hurt, but my fear came true. Do you think I should take the toy away for good instead of time outs? He loves this toy and when he doesn't have it he goes around sniffing everywhere trying to find it He doesn't always hump it either, just occasionally. I feel so bad taking away his toy, he is such a sulky baby without it. Anyone else have this problem? I thought humping stopped after neutering, but with Bailey it didn't.

| My female bull terrier has a huge stuffed pig she likes to have her way with. We don't let her play with it too often, she doesn't know when to stop |

| If Bailey didn't get so frisky I wouldn't care, he gets carried away and I'm afraid he'll get hurt, they do get attached to their fav toy though

| lol that is his green bear he use to do that one lollll but he graduated to soccer ball and it was true love - it is so funny as it is the only toy i never bought as my appraisers dog passed away a month before i got dex and she gave me a bunch of toys and i washed them and those two toys that green bear and the soccer ball toy are his favorite out of all the hundreds i have spent on toys lollll. I cannot find that soccer ball anywhere and he cries by the washer when i wash it - i am screwed if it ever falls apart lollll as he looks every where for that thing if he cannot find it lol |

YT Addict | us too, my axle has his favorite bear that he too has and is humping, just had him fixed a week ago and he seems to be doing it more, I read on here that this is bad behaviour, but how can you really punish them for this? hopefully more posts will come up on this one....he has a bunch of those little tiny toys to play with but his favorite is his bear which is 3 x his size. |

I don't think it's necessarily bad behavior, it is basically a dominance thing, and is fine unless he is trying to hump you!..at least that is my understanding I want Bailey to stop because he may fall off the bed again and hurt himself.

| I noticed tonight while Toby and Speedy were playing that Toby was humping Speedy! I firmly said NO and he stopped but as they continued playing he did it again. He's been neutered for over a year. Is it still a dominance thing? This is the first time I've seen him do it.

| George has a purple teddy he loves, he's had teddy since he was a baby (1 now) and after he has a play date with his girlfriends teddy gets a good one! I really don't have the heart to take it away, but if he was going to fall off the bed I'd put him on the floor (but teddy stays in his bed not mine)
