| Humping...at 3 months! I have a major problem. I know humping is normal for dogs but at 3 months? He humps everything he can get on. The one he likes most is my husband's feet. How can I stop the humping? |

| Chachi did that when he was real young too. I would just tell him no in a real stern voice. He hasnt did it anymore since he was neutered.

| Samson was really young, maybe around 7-8 weeks. He's pretty good now, only uses certain stuffed animals.

| I never knew they did this at such a young age. Would it stop if he gets neutered? |

| Peanut started at 11weeks of age. We got him a special pillow.He nevered humped on our legs or feet. He always used his pillow.He was neutered last month. He still humps sometimes.Now his brother is starting to hump he is 13weeks old.I guess its time to buy him a special pillow to.

| Yup. Badger did it at 12 weeks too. It's a domination thing apparently. He only does it with two specific toys (both soft, much larger than him and dog-shaped). I've said 'no!' enough times that he knows not to do it in front of me. I think it's important though that he not do it to you or anyone else in your house because it's a definite behavioural issue that could cause you further embarassment/problems. I've read that 'aversion' therapy is the best thing in this case and one tried and tested method is to get a can with some stones in it or something and shake it loudly next to his head (don't let him see it) every time he does it. Eventually it'll just be unpleasant for him and he should quit it Good luck and let us know how it turns out! x |

| Mine did a little humping at 8 weeks. He still does occasionally. He's going to get neutered in a week or two. I'm sure this won't stop his occasional/rare humping (which I always put a stop to), but it may keep it from increasing. **** My pup had one stuffed toy that was his favorite "humping item." I got rid of this toy - and this has almost stopped his humping completely. Good luck! Carol Jean |

| Oscar is 6mths now and I've NEVER seen him mount ANYTHING... I didn't know that they did it so young - not that I'm complaining! He's due for his neuter anytime now, so maybe it will never be a problem. Maybe this goes along with the no-barking... I think I have a non-dog....
