Humpping

[pepsi mcnabb]

Well I guess my lil'man is growing up everytime I turn around he's humpping froggy.His lil'soldier is always looking out.I wanna go him fitted but my vet wants like 500.00, but my question is will that stop all the humpping,

So he isn't fixed? No, his humping will not stop, he needs to be fixed. Once his hormone levels drop after being fixed, yes, this behavior should stop. Maybe your vet can take payments?

I agree. You want to get him neutered before he starts marking, too. Marking can be very difficult to stop once they start.

Is that when he holds his leg up n pee on the walls b/c I think I maybe to late

You'll be fine. Neutering will help the humping/marking behaviors, but it will be your effort in retraining him not to do those behaviors that will get him to stop. If he's marking outside, don't correct him. If he's doing it inside, then yes, correct him every time he tries to mark indoors. Kaji was neutered a few days after his bday. He marked the first day he was home (1st bday) and he did try to hump my roomie's dog. But, for the last year there has been no marking indoors, no humping either. It took time but he's a smart cookie, and Pepsi is too.

Oh wow I'm reading up on neutering /marking right now I think I'm take him to the local SPCA it's 65$ there and I don't think they will hurt him.He's the sweeties little guy but I have noticed him marking outside it's like every other step he's is dropping a little spot of pee n today he put he's little leg up on peed on the fridge,so yes it's something I will be doing real soon thanks for your help

If you decide to take him the the SPCA, make sure you get pre op bloodwork done, either there or by your regular vet. It will tell the vet if his organs can safely handle anesthesia. It is especially important in Yorkies since the breed is prone to liver disease. Anesthesia is processed through the liver.

The type of gas used is also very important for toy breed dogs.

Here is a sticky pinned in the Health section that is full of information:

$65 is a great deal!! Also, be aware, there is only one type of anesthesia that should be used and I am blanking right now - I know somebody else here can tell you.
I had my boy neutered a bit later than normal and he now does mark in the house!! I cannot break him of it. Just got him a belly band - came in the mail today (it goes around the waist to prevent him spraying in my house) - he is going to be so unhappy.

Ok really I'm gonna looking into a belly band as well I hear they work pretty well

Depends on how you use them, or what you want the end result to be. If you just want there to be no pee inside your home, then yes, belly bands are great.
If you want to stop the behavior all together, then belly bands are ok to use as a tool in combination with training.

I hope I made it clear that there is a difference.

Yes you was very clear I don't want any peeing in the hse

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the you know what. But if it helps, I know exactly what you're going through! Can you believe Kaji lifted his cute little leg on my roomie's couch, vaccum, on our kitchen table, all within the first 10 mins of him coming home? He was really into it! A few days later he was neutered, and I used belly bands and with constant training (I literally followed him around the living room) he doesn't do it at home anymore! We moved and he still doesn't do it! He was around Pepsi's age when he was neutered.
I don't trust him 100% yet at friend's houses because he pees when he's excited/nervous. We'll get there!
