3 month old Yorkie Boy Diji

[Tinx]

Hi everyone! I am a proud owner of my 3 month old baby Diji. I need to know if anyone has any advice to give on his strange new habit... He has started mating with my arm whenever we sit on the couch. Is this normal for a puppy his age? Is there something wrong? I am a first time yorkie owner and have never owned a dog that displayed this kind of behaviour so early in their lives.

welcome to YT...you may get a better response in the General section...as far as humping your arm it's more of a dominance thing....you may want to stop that behavior now as he still young...good luck!

I agree sounds like a dominance thing...

I agree that it is a dominance thing. My maltese, Eros, used to try that with my family when he was younger. We corrected him each time and moved him away from us when he'd do that, and he eventually stopped trying.
