Our dog was neutered a month ago. He is 5 1/2 months old now. I thought neutering was suppose to stop the bad habit of humping pillows and your legs. Or is it just suppose to decrease it? He still goes at his pillow, and will still go after our leg. It's quite embarressing. Will this lessen as he gets older? The neutering was done correctly. Thanks, Rae IP: Logged |

Well, since nobody has replied I'm going to assume that only my dog is doing this post-neutering. Guess I better call the vet. IP: Logged |

Hi, There is nothing to worry about most neutered dogs will still do the humping thing same with spayed bitches they do the same.... He is still a puppy so even though he has been neutered his body is maturing... I know its embarrassing especially when friends are round and the dog decide's its wants to hump there leg but hey its all part of life for the animal heheheheh Eventually he will stop this behaviour as his testostirone decreases in his body.... mike IP: Logged |

My male was neutered at 4 months and my female (3 months younger) was spayed at 5-1/2 months. However.... he still humps her all the time! It's a dominance issue. IP: Logged |

i was just thinking, are you firm with your dog, or does it kind've walk all over you, if it is a dominance issue, he may be doing that because he thinks he is dominant over you. I dunno though, just a thought! IP: Logged |

Old school way of thought was that such behavior was related to "dominance", an extremely overused term. Owners often label many dog behavoirs as Dominance when its more often than not the dog is untrained or doesn't clearly understand what its expect of him. Dog are not our "enemies", dominance creates fear not respect. Respect is what an owner earns from the bond that is created in a solid, consistent and fair relationship. So back to the topic As Mike succinctly puts it - behavior -- related to -- testosterone! IP: Logged |

I am very interested in your point of view Jas. Baxter is not dominant with me in any way - he's actually somewhat of a submissive dog, except with his sister. Since he was also neutered so early (before we even got her), I'm curious as to where the behavior comes from. Where did the urge originate? What are your theories? Thanks, IP: Logged |

I used to have a female Beagle who was spayed, she would hump things now and again, she only did it when she got a urinary infection, which the vet said he saw alot. When the infection was cleared up she would stop. I now have three males, Dooley is almost three years old and never humped anything until just recently, he all of a sudden has started humping Witt on occasion when they have been playing rough. Witt who is a year old this month and was neutered at 6 months humped Dooley and my cats before he was neutered, he once got so aroused(at 5 months)that he had a full erection and was crying out because it wouldn't go back into the sheath, I called my horse trainer (who breeds boxers) hysterical, he laughed and told me to distract him, I did and it went down and then slid back where it belonged. He told me to get him neutered soon. He said he had not ever seen one of his puppies get fully..well you know...at that age. But he also said that didn't mean anything other than he hadn't seen it yet. I got Witt neutered and he hasn't humped anything since. Darby is my 9 year old Poodle, he tries to hump my mothers Chi all the time, when the big dogs are playing he stands up on the recliner and growls at them, then very suddenly will jump down and hump one of them while they are involved in play fight, as soon as one of them looks up he runs back to the chair and continues growling at them. I always assumed he was trying to assert himself on them and that it was a way of saying I rank higher than you. None of the dogs have ever humped me, the female Beagle I had humped my husband once...while we were...umm...involved...doing grown up things. I told him she was jealous and claiming him for herself, he was horrified LOL. Jas I love the way you explain things I wish you would post more. IP: Logged |

Hi Diane, sorry I didn't see your post. You asked: "Baxter is not dominant with me in any way - he's actually somewhat of a submissive dog, except with his sister. Since he was also neutered so early (before we even got her), I'm curious as to where the behavior comes from. Where did the urge originate? What are your theories?" Which behavior? Mounting people, objects, or his sister or do you mean dominating his sister? My earlier post was referring to dominance over people and that whole way of thinking whereas Dog mounting dog (non sexual) I see as different than a young puppy mounting a human. Its more Hormonal and establishing hierarchy among other dogs. I just believe Dogs don't see their humans as other dogs and that we need to be careful when trying to understand dog behavior when relating it to the dog - human relationship IP: Logged |
no, not dominance, but NORMAL natural puppy behavior that he will grow out of!!! yahooo
