Female dogs hump too. It’s not necessarily a sexual thing but a dominance thing. The problem with humping toys and blankets is it can dry out the Penis and make it get stuck which then for most people means a trip to the vet ASAP or Vaseline. The red thing is actually his penis and what you normally see is just the penis covering. I would neuter at 5 or 6 months old if you wait to long he will start to mark. Just make sure you get pre surgery blood work. More then likely his testicles will not drop they still could but it’s doubtful.

So I'm in need of a psychological support guys :eek:

Last night my furbaby humped his blanket and when I said no and went to take it away he had a full on and I mean FULL ON erection. Nevermind I'm a first time dog owner, the thing was HUGE in proportion to his body. He laid down next to me, napped for a minute or two, tbh he looked a bit confused. In less than 5 minutes it went back.

Last week vet told us his testicles are not even descending yet! :idontknow

I'm not ignorant and understand that he is a live creature and a male and this is normal etc I just didn't expect it to be so early (he's 15 weeks old). I hope its only happening due to lack of new exercises and experiences and as we are OK'ed to go out for walks in a few days it will not happen again.

BF was opposed to neutering him (men take it almost personally I swear :rolleyes:) but at our last vet appt she also recommended to neuter him if we don't want puppies and said we can do it somewhere between 6 and 12 months old. He is now well over 4 lbs - whats your experience? When is a good time for the procedure? Don't want to hurt the puppy but I'm afraid what this humpy-dumpy will be capable of if this is happening so early.

Now now now, don't make it a boy vs girl thing lol. I like to think, although I have a female, that I can look past any ego I might have.

I opted for a female because I didn't want to deal with marking etc. And now that I read this I'm doubly glad lol.

The only time Cody ever humped anything was a big teddy bear that Santa gave him 2 years ago.

A few days later I took it out, sat it on the floor, Cody walked past it, gave it a dirty look but kept away from it, it got him in trouble, I never have to speak to him in a harsh tone, every so often he'll grab it and fling it around, if he ends up straddling it he'll leap off it, give it a dirty look and won't go near it again lol.

I actually wanted a boy :) I knew that some behaviours might be fixed with neutering as well as some girls also hump and mark and also can be aggressive and want to run away when outside. So I don't think one is really better than the other))) I guess my main concern is that I wasn't ready for his privates to come out so early, and I thought we will wait for neutering until month 8-10 so we can fix any teeth that might not come out naturally at the same time..

And that is what you should do, neuter and remove any baby teeth at the same time. You also have to wait for his testicles to drop. A male's penis can come out of the Sheath even after neutering, and humping can also continue. If lil Mike starts humping just remove what it is and give him a toy he can bite on, at 15 weeks old he is to young to be neutered.
