Humping at 11 weeks!!!
 
Today I washed all of Reesie's bedding and so I had given him just a towel to put down in his crate while the rest of his stuff was drying. He was not crazy about just a towel. Well, tonight I got his little bed out of the dryer and put in on the floor next to his crate while I was getting ready to put it in. He was so excited to see it. He was hopping and chewing it all over, and then all of the sudden he started humping it!! I was so shocked! He is only 11 weeks! Is this normal??:eek:

Yes it sure is, these young pups don't realize that this is naughty! Humping is a sign of dominance, and they are trying to be dominant with something, but hormones guide this behavior. Lol, it cracked me up to see Joey do this and he had a favorite red teddy bear, called "Big Red" that he just loved. Joey was neutered around 7 months of age, and about 1 month after that the humping stopped. Some breeders say that their unneutered dogs do it too much and they take away the affectionate object. Most dogs stop this behavior once neutered.

So I should just ignore it for now?

Personally, I think you should take movies! :D Really, some people are upset by this behavior, and I would never allow a dog to hump a human, they are trying to be dominant with the human when they do this, but as far as playing with the toy/blanket, I see nothing wrong with it, but I grew up in the 60's! ;)

I would probably ignore it, unless it becomes regular behavior!

The earliest I've ever seen this happen was a little male I bred in a litter. They were a little over 3 weeks old and I was cleaning out their crate and he was trying to hump his much larger brother!!!! I couldnt believe it, still find it hard years later. He grew up to be an amazing character, tried showing him but didnt get anywhere as he wasn't docked. Although I over heard the judge at his first show call him precoutious, he stood on his box, fixed his eyes on the judge and practically dared her to egnore him. I reconed if he'd been able too he'd have gone around the ring on his own.

Little Izzy 10-07-2009 09:14 AM
Izzy started humping her bed one night, and she was only 8 months! And Izzy's a girl!! Is that normal? She does it periodically...

diane boden 10-08-2009 06:09 AM
I think its more of a dominance thing in girls although one of mine used to do it out of frustration I think. Rosies been quite active recently but she's in season so I expected it.

Nancy1999 10-08-2009 08:12 AM
They say it's a dominance thing in boys or girls that's why you should never allow them to hump a human. It is regulated by the hormone, testosterone, and the adrenal gland makes testosterone in both males and females. The testicles make the bulk of testosterone in males.

Dara311 10-08-2009 08:16 AM
that is the earliest ive heard about that too! ignore it!!!!!! :p

Very, very normal. Some of my pups begin humping at 4 weeks of age.....I allow it when they're this young as it helps to bring down the testicles.

Good info! Thanks!:)

OMG! Normal?
 
My smallest little guy likes to hump certain toys and I thought, "You've got to be kidding me!" He is just now 11 weeks and has been doing this for a while. I took out the particular toys, but if it's normal-I'm putting them back in! He's quite a bit smaller than his brothers, so the dominance theory makes perfect sense!;)

You're right it is unwanted behavior. However, if you have a boy whose testicles need to be dropped and seated prior to nuetering, it assist in accomplishing this. Once that has been accomplished; the dropping and seating of testicles and nuetering it will correct itself.

I think that only a very immature mind would find this amusing or entertaining. There are enough disgusting videos out there, we do not need any more. If you need to see videos of dogs humping I'm sure you can find plenty if you google it.

For the OP who is looking for a serious answer:

Humping is “Bad Behavior” and should be addressed as such. Humping your leg or a stuffed animal is not sexual behavior. It is dominant behavior and definitely should not be allowed. If he or she, (yes females will do this too) is humping a toy or a blanket, simply tell them “No” and take it away. If he/she is humping you or another human, is displaying dominant behavior and showing disrespect. In that case you need to do some research on how to become the pack leader, because if allowed to continue they will begin to show other signs of dominance, if they haven’t already done so.

I think the poster you are commenting about here was just kidding to lighten the worries of the OP. She's not an immature person in the least, she's just joking about it.

I agree that in an older pup this is bad behavior and should be corrected. On a pup this young it is not a dominance issue. As in children it is a discovery action.

As a breeder you know what the cost for nuetering a pup with cryptorchidism and at what age a pup's testes become seated.

It is bad behsvior in girls as well. Tell her to stop, and remove the object.

Breeding females will do this when one is in heat.

I do not think animals display nasty or disgusting behavior, humans on the other hand . . .

i'd have to agree it's not like they know any better and are trying to show off their PDA like humans do. they're just doing the natural thing God made them to do. sure i'd have them learn not to and take pleasure toys away from them to teach them, i mean you don't want company to see it someday and be embarrassed, but then again this is a baby puppy. he barely knows anything at this point and has a lot to learn and it's not that big a deal to let him do this when he's little and then neuter him when he's old enough. it's only a couple months away anyhow.

anyways, dogs aren't trying to cause a show, we humans just make it out to be like that in our minds. they're just doing what come natural to them

I agree, it is the humans that are being entertained by it that are disgusting.

Tell me that a dog eating poop is not disgusting, no matter how natural it is.

from what i've read that's actually NOT natural for them to do.

Well they do it, whether it is natural or not.

I was responding to the comment that dogs do not do disgusting things. I beg to differ.

They also catch and eat grasshoppers, and roll on dead animals and lick their behinds. all pretty disgusting behavior.

Tia is not in heat and never will be as she is spayed and she humps her teddy occasionally. I tell her NO and she stops immediately but there is no way I'm taking her teddy away , it is her comfort and she had it on day one.
Its really not a big deal, shocking at first and so long as it is not done to humans. Its a natural thing , its not dirty and it can be controlled.:D I don't see it as bad behavior , sorry.
