| ![]() Perfectly normal. ![]() I believe correcting a dog is fine if you want to discourage the behavior. Do it gently, maybe just redirect attention and remove the triggers for humping.

| ![]() No it's an old toy but it's one of the biggest one he has, he's got another one that size but it's not soft like that one. So you never let him play with the lamb toy again?

![]() Teddy humps Max a little when he is super excited and feeling his Cheerios. We just laugh at Teddy. Doesn't last long and it isn't very often.

| ![]() I skimmed through your comment the first time and thought the same thing. My initial reaction: Cheerios has something else to advertise! After re-reading, I got it.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | ![]() Yep, totally normal - it's just the instinct we all have as animals. I mean, I hump stuffed animals ALL THE TIME, it's ridic. Okay, no...just kidding ![]() But seriously, 3 out of my 4 dogs hump. Wylie and Marcel have a stuffed "lover dog" they have dates with. Our girl, Pfeiffer, humps her round bed - it's so freakin' cute. I don't believe in discouraging this behavior since it's instinctual and since it seems to be a need of theirs. It would be different if they were trying to hump humans, that I would stop and redirect. But I'm totally fine w/ them having their love sessions with their lover dogs and beds ![]()

| ![]() Cody who was 4.5 yo at Christmas time, neutered, has never humped anything in the 2 years we are together. So Santa gives him a BIG teddy bear cos Cody LOVES to FLING things in the air. Christmas day he grabs that teddy Bear and starts humping away ![]()

| ![]() Bella had a favorite toy that she would hump before she was spayed. Bailey hasn't shown any humping tendancies yet.... And during play, they will both try to get the back of the other. We don't allow either of them to hump the other because it is a sign of domination.

| ![]() lol my Hudson was humping this big stuffed monkey this morning, it kind of took me by surprise lol. I didn't stop it but two youngest sons didn't know what he was doing. I said he is trying to mate with the monkey. They thought it was hysterical of course. As long as he doesn't try to hump Ella (I don't think she would allow it for a hot second lol). |

| ![]() Scottie started humping his biggest Dino toy (it's like the size of a small puppy) around the same age as Beowulf! Seems normal to me. I personally didn't want his humping to become a regular thing, so I told him "NO" but didn't take it away. He did it a few times afterwards but eventually he stopped. Dino is now his favourite toy that he brings to me. ![]()
