My 11 week old boston terrier humps everyonce in a while. I do say "no" when he starts and it seems like he knows he shouldn't do it.....but he continues to start it up.fyi he will be nuetered in a couple months.

all puppies do it.. its very common...and some dogs that are fixed still do it. just because you fix them doesnt mean that will stop them...

dyke friend of mine trained thier pitbull to hump intruders / over-active ppl. slap'm hard in the face and say No!, No!, shaking your finger. -very effective

Here's how I handled that issue: take a rolled up newspaper, whistle before swatting the dog. Make sure the newspaper is only a few pages, not enough to hurt but just enough to make him stop. Soon, you will notice by merely whistling and picking up a newspaper, the pup will stop humping people.

He's showing dominance. That's why dogs do this to other neutered dogs also. Other animals do the same.

very common for fixed and unfixed male dogs to do that, my dad had a yorkie male that use to hump a big german shepards leg, we use to think it was bad, we would tell him no but he didnt listen that well..

This is dominanance behavior (even female puppies do it). He is trying to figure out his place in the pack. His place is at the bottom on the pack (assuming he is the only dog, but that is another question), so this is unacceptable. When he starts humping, give him a firm "No" and put him in his crate if he has one, or put him in another room, as soon as he starts doing it. Remove him from where the action is. He only needs a few minutes of time out, but be consistent, if he does it again in 2 minutes, away he goes. He will learn pretty quickly that you are the boss. This behavior should not be tolerated, especially over children. He should not ever get the idea that he is the superior of children, because then he will view it is his duty to 'discipline' them (i.e., bite them). This is pretty normal, nothing to worry about, it doesn't mean a dog is aggressive. Just make sure he is kept in his place this way, he will stop doing it.

It is common for young dogs to hump things to show dominence and will hump things like soft pillows,blankets,etc. the best thing to do is to wad up some newspaper (not to much or you will hurt him) and show it to him and if he dosn't stop tap him on the tush and put him in his crate .

You should definently allow him to do it. Like everyone else said, it shows dominence and is a natural habit in nature.
