| Why after all this time is he,,,,, humping? We had him fixed at 6 months. Before hand he wasn't too bad with the humping thing and after doing so he would still do it but only if he got real excited. Now 14 months after his surgery he want to hump. Within the last week or so he's done it like 6 times. He came up to Val and tried to hump her arm and the other day I was on my knees lookng for something that had rolled under the sofa and he came up to me and started humping my foot. He is not humping his toys just us. Why is he doing this? Yesterday he tried to mound Vals arm and I clapped my hands just as his little butt was starting to motion and he stopped. Is this normal?

| You should get him a stuffed animal about his size to hump and maybe it will keep him from trying to hump people.

| I am not an expert but maybe its more a control issue with him. Maybe he is doing this almost as if to say that he is in charge. I read somewhere that dogs develop dominance issues sometimes and one of the ways they show this is by humping. Maybe you can check with a doggie behavior expert to find out why he's doing this. Good luck!!

| Even though he has been fixed he still has some hormones that run through him. It is natural for him to exhibit this behavior. My friend found her fixed female and the neighors fixed male tied one day. So it goes to show they definitly have a mind of thier own.

| Humping Buddy used to hump but since his operation, only on occasion and only with his "golf club head cover". His obedience trainer said it was ok as long as it was only occasionally but never allow them to hump a human - that is showing dominance and should never be allowed. Just correct him like you would with biting, etc. |

| I agree with Nikko's Human. When dogs hump after being fixed, (even female dogs) they usually do it to show dominance. My female retrievers used to hump each other to see who would be the dominant one. Don't let him hump you or anyone else in your house because he's trying to see who he dominates in the "pack". You can show your dominance by rolling him on his back and holding his front paws together and his hind feet together (like Pig tie), lean over him, and make sure he looks you in the eyes when you do this. This is how you show you're top dog. It doesn't hurt the dog if you're gentle...once he looks you in the eyes, while on his back, then you know that he gets it. Let your children do this with him too, but make sure they're gentle of course. I did this with my Lhaso Apso when she was havign obedience issues, as well as my retrievers, and it worked well. If they feel like they are dominant over anyone in the family, then training will be difficult (I'm sure you know this). I hope this helps! |

| Cookie has been fixed for almost a yr . He use to hump toys but he preferred someone's elbow ,foot or hand! Honestly we laugh about it . I prefer for him to hump my leg once in a while instead of "marking" everywhere! He rarely ever humps anymore. I think the last time he did that was like 2-3 months ago. A lot of dogs that have been fixed still hump for the rest of their lives... Genie |
