| Male Humping Stuffed Animal Constantly Logan is 10 months old and has not yet been neutered (will be on June 10th) due to liver shunt testing. He is constantly humping his stuffed bunny. That's all he wants to do! Is this normal? Will this change after he's neutered? |

| I'ts normal, and hopefully it will change! My boy used to hump stuffed animals and every other toy he had constantly before he got nuetered. I even had to go buy smaller toys for him so he couldn't hump them, and he still found a way to do it! After he got neutered the humping dramatically increased. Once in a while I'll catch him in the act, but definitly not as much before, and it's only a couple select toys, not as many as before!

| yes it sure looks like it's a normal male behavour, but it does decrease with time, you just have to catch him in the act and make him understand that it's not a welcomed behavour. Just never let him start humping you...

| If it's just his bunny, and if you don't want him to do it, couldn't you just take it away? |

| My little boy only does it to his bear, we've even got a different bear and he does it to it too. Not sure if it's a "bear" thing with him or b/c the bear is just about the size of him. Beaux never trys with his small toys. My DH thinks it cute and that we need to let him do it. I clap loudly and tell Beaux to stop. DH says, you know he does it when we're not home. I say, what his does in privacy is fine, just don't do it in front of people |

| mickey used to hump my arms all the time. because iw as young (9 y/o) i thought he was just wrestling with my arm. my cousin told me that i should give mickey a stuffed toy so he camp hump it instead of ppl's arms. so i gave up my puppy toy that i had when i was rea;ly little and pretended that it was real. *it was hard to let go of it but i thought heck, i have an actual puppy now* so mickey would hump the mini dalmation toy. once he got neutered and when he was healed, he abandoned his humping toy. |

| Bubba (age 3-neutred) still enjoys an after dinner hump. The only thing he ever humps is Sissy's bed?

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Max also has a stuffed dog with bunny ears that I bought for him for his first Easter, it used to be the Easter Puppy, now is plain old Humpie, he wont play with Humpie or even look at him during the day, but right after 8 pm, when he starts getting ready to go to bed, he runs, gets Humpie and there he goes! Poor Humpie I need to put him through the washer every week he's had several surgeries to get his stuff back in, I tried buying another stuffed toy, same size, but it did not do the trick, I even thought to post a picture of poor Humpie to see if anyone has one that can sell to me

| Hi, I didn't keep stuffed animals around for Zander, however he would rarely hump the arm of his sofa bed, that was it. When I'd catch him doing that, I would say, aaah, it would prompt him to stop, I would have a toy, ball to play fetch with him to get his mind off the humping or take him outside for a walk or just to enjoy the outdoors. Hope this suggestion helps you.

| the only way I could stop my boy was to get rid of any stuffed animals that were larger than his mouth. and the neuter did not sway him one bit.

| Oh, yes. I could take it away. I honestly didn't know if this behavior is something I should stop or let go. Sometimes he is going at it so hard that he falls into his food and water bowls, knocks his head up against the outside of his crate, falls over, etc. and doesn't care one bit. He just keeps going. It's funny but can be embarrassing (like when he does it in front of company, which he did once). Just wondering.... |

| My wife and I recently puppysat and 8 year old neutered Yorkie and that was pretty much his favorite thing to do... when he wasn't chasing Allie around the house trying to hump her. His hump toy of choice is a stuff killer whale named Wilma. |
