Eww.... Hello all, I would like to say this is a great website, I am a research freak and when I decided to get a yorkie, I did a lot of research online and bumped into this great website where I know I am not alone. Question: My yorkie Bailey is 14 weeks old and is already starting to hump - arms mostly. Isn't he too young to be behaving like this? Anyone else experience this or know how to curb this? |
Unfortunately, I will not be any help since I have a girl! But just want to say WELCOME TO YT!! You would fall in love with this site and glow to be part of this YT family! |
My lil girl is 7 months and she has never did it. She is way to into looking for paper on the ground |
Ollie use to do my arm...lol. He was neutered at 6 months and no longer does my arm or anything else except sometimes 2 of his yorkie friends that are both males when they are playing... but i have learned that is to show dominance. |
Thanks for the welcome - I have found all the information here very helpful...like i know what zoomies are, well, I never knew Bailey's laps around the house had a name. LOL...paper on the ground lol... Anyone with boy yorkie out there with any advice? I'm thinking time to get neutered... |
Believe me, it's NOT just males that do this, females also hump things..My shih tzu used to hump a little teddy bear she had, and my sons golden retriever(she's 2) humps our german shepherd(also a girl)...Infact, just yesterday I had to yell out at her to get off of her..I know one day, the neighbor stopped me and asked if my dogs had been fixed, because if NOT I would be having a surprise in a couple mos...I started laughing and said, well, the retriever has been spayed, and our girl is getting fixed in a week(the shepherd at that time hadn't as of yet been spayed)..so, girls can and do hump also..it's a dominace thing.. |
welcome to YT! |

Thanks all.. Isnt 14 weeks too young for a neuter? He's so little..... |
It's always a good idea to neuter your little guy if you aren't going to breed him. That said, Gizmo still humps and he was neutered a month ago. It's not sexual, it really is a dominance thing. He doesn't make contact either. He just makes the motions. :rolleyes: I have no idea about how young to neuter. We waited, but it was mainly because I was a wus and kept putting it off. :) |
The vets here in SC like to wait until 5-6 mos on the little ones like this(they shouldn't mark until they get sexually mature), sometimes, they will neuter a family pet as early as 4 mos, but they really don't like too..Now they do neuter as young as 6 weeks, but, those are ONLY the dogs at the humane society/animal shelters.. |
Rockie was 2 1/2 months when he started.:rolleyes: I was completely amazed.:p I really never saw my girl dog doing it:animal36 :yorkiesar |
Reece started humping young but I always put a stop to it right away..with a firm NO..now if he starts (he is neutered now and still tries once in a while) I just yell a firm NO..and he instantly stops..its important to stop him young...the second he starts with your arm stand up and say NO and then sit back down again...repeat as necessary lol...

If you do a search on "humping" here on YT, you'll find that you are not alone! ;) |
