Thats why Im counting the days for them to be chopped off. I dont want mine humping everything in site when we go places. Im sure 10 months is fine to get yours fixed. Ask your vet.

Just cause they get fixed doesn't mean the humping stops.. jsyk..

That's so true! Samson was neutered this past Friday and by Saturday afternoon he was chasing our cat around trying to hump her. Go figure LOL (he'll be six months this Friday). Fortunately he's never marked anything yet but it may be because he hasn't been outside yet (pee pads only).

Bailey does it occasionally, mostly when he's frustrated or wants to show dominance, they do it alot to TRY to show you they think they are boss.

i sure do hope the humping will stop after the chop-job.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I guess my biggest concerns are him marking inside my house and inside other people's houses. It would be nice if he did not do it at petsmart too

I guess I'll just expect to put bellybands on him when we go places and cross my fingers that this works. I'm still holding out in the hope that he will not mark inside other people's houses after his neuter.

The humping has nothing to do about sex, it's all dominance...I wouldn't worry so much about that, just show them it's NOT acceptable...I have a female golen retriever that is going on 3 years, SHE is always humping my FEMALE german shepherd(going on 2 years), and I mean all the time...I yell at her out the door, and she stops.....

This is true. Tucker humped on three different occasions when I first brought him home. I got on to him and he hasn't done it since. I also saw a female lab hump hubby's brother in law.

A good reason to hold off on neutering is in case any baby teeth need to be pulled it can be done at the same time. I didn't get Sugar until he was 17 months. He marked like crazy! He also humped poor little Spike kind of often

- I know it's a dominate thing and he was trying to establish himself as the head boy dog or whatever but still...eww! I had him neutered and he hasn't humped even once since then that I can remember. I guess he's not concerned with being dominate anymore- what's the point?

He also all but stopped marking right away. He'll mark outside sometimes and we've had a few incidents where he has marked a toy but for the most part I don't have to worry. I think we had Spike neutered around 8 months and he's never marked or humped and I mean never. He's never even lifted his leg to potty.

Mojo was 4 1/2 years when we neutered him...he humped like crazy and that is one of the main reasons for having him done...he hasn't humped anything since and that has been awhile ago.
Mojo will still mark occassionally, which we are working on, but we have an intact male that is in and out of the house alot too, so I think that may be the problem.

Sncikers started marking outside at 10 weeks. I have never had any problems with him marking inside of my house or any one elses house. When we visit a friend I always show snickers where the potty door is. Then I will ask him to sit and ask him if he has to go potty. He will bark and then I will let him out. By doing that he knows where to sit to let me know he has to go out. Both my male dogs mark out side in my yard. Not allowed when we go on walks I don't give them a chance to stop and sniff. Snickers is now a little over 10 months old and has been potty trained since he was 4 months and has run of the house even when we are not home. He knows where it is acceptable to lift his leg.
