Putting bitter apply spray on his toys kind of defeats the purpose of giving him toys, no?

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Goodness if I can stop a130 pound beastie from humping surely a six pound Yorkie can't be too difficult. If my wee one doesn't listen to no. I get up and physically remove him.

| Yes, and here in lies the struggle. On one hand, I want him to have toys and enjoy himself, and most of the time he does it totally normally. On the other hand, its repulsing. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Very well indeed". All my big dogs train to a high level of obedience. My Yorkie has only beginner level obedience.

| Try putting some pennies in a water bottle, when the dogs are doing something that you don't like, shake the water bottle, give a firm no and redirect the dogs.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Honestly, I would not stop the behavior - is it hurting anything or anyone or him...? 2 of my boys have a "stuffed lover dog" who they take on "dates". And that's just fine; they're not hurting anything and they clearly have some sort of need/instinct they want to act on. My girl dog, Pfeiffer, humps her donut bed almost every morning. *Shrugs* - I don't care. She likes to do that, and again, it's not hurting anyone or anything. I honestly never understand why people are so very concerned in repressing a *natural* desire in animals. It's not like they're humping people's legs. In the 12 years I've had my current dogs, never once has an attempt been made to hump a human. So my opinion, obviously, is to leave it be.

| Wookie does it too, but only to 'Big Dog', which is a large (bigger than her) stuffed toy dog she has had since we got her. She usually humps it after she's given it a good shaking and dragging round. The humping only lasts a few seconds. Apparently in females this can be a dominance thing. I guess she's just showing Big Dog that she's the boss! She has never done it to any other toy, real dog or human, so I don't worry about it. |

| Last Christmas Santa gave Cody a BIG plush teddy bear, the first thing he did was hump it lol, I told him in a firm voice noooooo humping and took the bear away. 3 months later I took it out and sat it next to the toy box lol, when he saw it he stared at it and gave it a nasty look, you see, Cody is a perfect boy and never gets scold nor do I have to use firm voice to him, the bear got him into trouble. Two days later he grabbed that bear and beat him to death,flung it all over the room then left it for DEAD. I sat it back by the toy box lol. Each time he passed it he gave it a dirty look lol. Every so often he will try to kill it, sometimes it lands between his legs, he'll grab it around it's neck then remembers he's not supposed to hump it lol, then the killing mode kicks in lol. He doesn't like the bear because it got him into trouble lol.

That's a great perspective actually. I never thought of it that way and many of us don't.
