Hi,

My 8 month old Beagle puppy is obsessed with humping, if he doesn't have a toy to hump then he'll try it on with a leg or even an arm!

We've come to the conclusion that he will prob be having the chop when he is old enough but any ideas about the meantime? He gets so frustrated in the evenings... I've been told its a dominant thing. Obviously we push him away and tell him NO but he's a Beagle and extremely stubborn. It's quite painful as he digs his claws in. We try are hardest to wear him out but it's getting impossible!

Any ideas...

Thanks

My 9 month old springer/cocker cross has done this since she was 7 weeks old, at first it was quite amuzing but as she has got older we discourage it as much as possible, I asked the vet about it, he said that if they start doing it very young then it is hormonal and there is nothing that can be done, just not allow it if inconvenient, if they have suddenly started doing it at a certain age then neutering or spaying normally calms it down.
Hope that helps!!

Hilarious... to us.... I'm sure it is mortifying/annoying to you. Patience. Hopefully it will pass when you get him fixed.

Luika is now 7 months old and is humping everything in sight.

The other day I was in deep conversation with a client (on the phone), when I saw my large hulk of a GSD humping a cushion around the front room. It really looked hilarious, but my laughter didn't go down too well with the client until I explained

Luika is also being castrated just as soon as it is safe to do so. Perhaps we should swap photos

Thanks everyone for the amusing messages

I had a dog trainer do a 1-2-1 with him last night and he def demonstrated his humping skills on her! She recommended having him neutered soon as the vet will allow it.

Bless him!
