| Well some say that getting the neutered will fix that and I guess it may for some but I can tell you that it didnt for Charlie. now Charlie does not do this all the time and actually he only does it to 2 people my mom and my husbands brother LOL (not sure why) but I have been told to tell him firmly NO! when he is trying to do it. It has not fixed the problem he still tries but it makes him stop if he is told firmly enough.

| Yoshi, my Peke was neutered at 5 months and will still do that occasionally. Telling him no doesn't help either. I just keep saying no in a firm voice and he will stop for a nano second and then back at it again..He does this with my daughters Peke and with Miss Priss sometimes.

| It's normal. If he does it all the time, well, I would casually distract him. |

| My little guy does the same thing. I have a 6 and 3 year old, and they just laugh and say look Toby is dancing again. I am not ready to have the talk with them yet, so to them dancing it is. I hope it resolves itself after he gets neutered. I feel sorry for his stuffed animals. lol |

| My little guy would do this from when I got him (5 months) until I neutered him. I wouldn't worry too much... The snip should end this behavior

| It's normal. Dogs do this as a sign of dominance, especially at that age.

| Discourage it. Scoobers when I got him had just been altered. Once he was no longer scared of the kids if one was laying down he'd hump them...behaviirist said he was trying to estabalish dominance by sneak attack establishing himself in pack order. He went through a weird phase of humping my bathrobe when it was in the bathroom laundry pile. He still tries to hump Princess' head from time to time.

| I do not allow my males to hump people, or other dogs. Yes it is a natural instinct but, I don't allow them to chew the sofa or chase the bike rider either. Sorry my house my rules. Both males and females (even spayed/ neutered dogs) may hump to display that they are the top dog. That is why we don't allow it. We are a multi dog family, and the people are the PLPs (Provider, Leader, and Protector). My Young male knows humping the other dogs is a NO NO, so he takes a stuffed sock monkey into his crate and humps it. We ignore that, after all we taught him his crate belongs to him,and is his private safe place. (we feed, and give kong treats in crates)

| A trainer told me one time that it is a sign of dominance. My daughter`s dog used to do it when he was younger. He stopped. |
