Lillie was 10 weeks old and used to hump our foot. So I knew it was not sexual. It can be embarrassing when we have people over. Rosie does not mind, she still does it. The looks they get. I try to stop it before any one see it, but that does not always work out.[/QUOTE]
I do not let my Yorkies hump. I think they can and do learn other ways to spend their time. It is not sexual. It can become a bad habit.
I chose to correct with a verbal cue of ATATTT, then redirect. None of my Yorkies hump toys or each other. I corrected when they were puppies. Abba is a little stud dog (not neutered)he only does the deed when a female in heat is presented. |
