| She's right....it is not about the SEX.... As mentioned by YorkiPower...it is not about the sex. It is essentially a dominance thing. Any small breed dog...or any dog finding itself on the "lower end of the pecking order" will attempt to dominate.....it's the alpa-dog 'wanna-be'...Do not allow this to happen...(as really funny as it seems). Do not yell at or hit the dog...but quickly give a growl and firmly hold their back and sort-a "hold down" (not being mean or hurting the pup)...the hand gripping and showing YOUR dominance is similar to the teeth action from a REAL dominant dog. I don't want anyone to get the impression I wish to make dogs soooooo submissive....but the human MUST be the alpha-dog / pack-leader or things can get out of control down the road.....once a dog learns his / her "place" in the pack they are totally happy and actually more secure knowing they don't have to prove themselves all the time. A similar situation is a puppy / dog that jumps into your lap and into your face....this, too, is an act of dominance. Better than sit, stay, come...is the understanding that the puppy DOES NOT jump on anyone unless invited....and if your babies are as cute as they look, getting invited doesn't take long.... Have a great day! |

| I'd never seen Bentley hump anything until we were around another yorkie. He jumped on her and started going at it. It's funny because he does not hump anything else or any other type of dog, just the yorkies (and he doesn't discriminate, he will hump male or female yorkies) |

| Hahaha My puppy gets made fun of and teased by everyone because he tries to hump one of his toys. He doesn't hump people, though, so I don't see a problem with it. I say let the little fella have his fun, afterall, he'll be getting neutered soon enough. |

| Luca Dean DOESN'T hump anything, and it worries me!!! Is he asexual? Ha Ha. Guess I should count my blessings. My terrier mix loves to hump big dogs -- male or female! But only big dogs -- it's the dominance thing. I guess Luca Dean understands how he is never gonna be alpha dog around here and just doesn't bother trying? |

| humping yorkies Hi, this is very funny!! My little yorkie (Oscar) starting humping his plush pig at seven weeks, he now humps my hand when I pick him up. It is funny to watch but I have realised he is making a play for leadership so I am very careful how I hold him now (he still humps his toys though)!!! |

| Thank you for this thread! I totally thought Tobi was a lil horn dog when I saw him humping at 12 weeks!!! I even counted how many times he'd hump his blanket in one day (13 is his record)....he even tried to hump my arm once (and proceeded to hump air when I put him down). I hope he doesn't move on to legs any time soon.

| I didn't like it when Pepper was humping, it looked cute at the beginning but he started getting too much into it and was getting the 'red lipstick' out . I had him neutered at 6 months and it pretty much solved the problem. He barely starts humping anymore and I let him know I don't like it... He never attempted humping people though. The only toy he sometimes is trying to hump - it looks like a dominance thing as Pep and the toy are the same size - is resting on the wardrobe for now. He knows that and sits in front of the thing and stares at the top. Too funny coz he can't really see up there anyway...

| This is funny but Bruizer humps and sleeps with only one toy. His stuffed yorkie that i put a bow in it hair to make it look like a little girl yorkie. he will even go get it when I tell him "get your girlfriend Bruizer". I think he needs a real girlfriend.
