Sarah Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 At 10 weeks it won't be anything sexual. He will be asserting himself - don't make a big fuss of it with him just redirect his attention elsewhere or get up and walk away. Is he humping you or other objects in your home?

Ulysses Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 its either on his teddy bears or on my lodgers feet never on me or si, he knows the word no very well now, but it's just the hunping thing i'm worried about just in case he does try and be alpha male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysibe Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Have two dogs together this is going to happen sooner or later, no matter what sex they are. dogs are going to need a pecking order, at this age its just play, but in play they are getting ready for adulthood, you need to be very firm with him if he is trying to dominate a human, I would not worry about toys though, if he is going to be alpha male over the other dog you need to let it happen, the more you stop him the more frustrated he will get, how old is your other dog, is it neutered, if its neutered then pup will always be the alpha until he too is neutered, in a pack a neutered dog is seen as inferior to the entire dogs, When he starts humping a human, firmly and quietly stop him, turn him on his side until he has calmed down, do NOT raise your voice or be sharp in your movements. a alpha will roll a dog that his under his status, shouting is just like barking in his face, when he has calmed down walk away and ignore him, come back and sit down . if he settles next to you praise him and give him a treat, Feed him last in the family, make sure your other dog is fed first and then give him his food, when walking him, put the older dogs lead on first and then him, do not let him pull in front of the older dog or you, the alpha is always the one in front Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Great reply Terry added to rep. Ther isnt anything I would add to what Terry has said. All I would say is don't expect him to automatically stop, you need to remain calm and consistant with him and as you progress the humping will become less and less frequent All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
