I suggest that you remove the toy, and correct his behavior just like you would any other unwanted behavior. I have had dogs all my life and have never had one that needed to hump toys, so it is not a needed activity. They can live perfectly happy, lives without it. You would not allow them to do other activities that could cause injury, so why let them do this, knowing there are some very serious health risks. Last edited by JeanieK; 12-14-2010 at 06:03 PM. | |

Boys get a bad rap. People think they mark all over and hump everything. Most males if neutered at 6 months remain little boys and don't display any of this. Some people will tell you it is a harmless behavior. Experienced breeders and Vets will tell you it is not harmless behavior. they can injure themselves and get infections, so it should be corrected like any other unwanted behavior. | |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | No, it's not a male thing, girls do it too.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, I see Jeanie answered at the same, time. I disagree that experienced breeders and vets frown upon it, most think it's fine as long as it's not excessive.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Dogs can injure themselves any number of ways. If he isn't getting stuck or anything, it's fine, as long as it doesn't bother you. And yes, it is relaxing, just like it is for humans.

| Sandy humps once in a while... His favourite object was a bean bag pillow. I took it away from him and put it on the sofa when I saw him humping. Everytime Sandy saw that pillow, he got so excited, jumping and trying to reach the pillow. I've kept the pillow in the cupboard. He's found a new thing to hump - his bed He used to hump very often but not anymore. |

| Lol well, I have actually seen this being done at work. It's not really surgical or anything in that nature. They just simply help it go back up in the correct place. Most male dogs will continue to hump even after they were fixed. My chi still does and he's a neutered male, but usually depending on when you got them fixed and all that jazz.
