I'm so glad this subject was brought up. My 7 month old Saffie tries to hump my leg when I'm sitting on the couch with my leg hanging down. Since this seems to be a domanince issue (from what I've been reading) what should I do? Firmly tell her to stop, or pull my leg away, or distract her or ignore her? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is it always about dominance? Is it ever hormonal? I was hoping being neutered would help. When I make him stop he just does it again a few minutes later. I've been ignoring it but does that just encourage it? I'm with martym any advice would be appreciated.
