| Not too young at all! I brought Jackson home at 9 weeks old and started humping that day, lol. I would probably try to stop the behavior. Jackson never humped a person but he always did his bear. Once he was neutered, the behavior has lessened a ton, and now he probably only humps a stuffed animal like once a month, if that, ha! It's not always necessarily sexual, but it's a way of them displaying dominance. I would suggest getting him neutered at 6 months old!

| STOP Him? "Humping" in the Dog World is NOT a Sexual Act it is an act of "Domination", both Males & Females will do it if you do not correct them by saying NO or STOP! It does'nt matter how old they are, he may seem young to you but age has nothing to do with it b/c again it has nothing to do w/Sex or Sexual Maturity. It is a "Challenge" a chance to Dominate another so he will probably do it as long as YOU allow it? If you continue to allow it it turns into an un-wanted "Behaviour", even if you eventually get him "Fixed" that usually helps his Hormones but you still have to "Train" him not to do it to begin with?
