If puppies are fixed before puberty sets in, the humping can usually be avoided- if he's already hit puberty then most likely he'll continue to think about sex and hump. You should still get him fixed though because it's the responsible thing to do.

Before our dog got fixed he humped most every other dog - the dominace thing. Never a human though - he knew who the "boss" was.
After getting fixed the humping of other dogs stopped, it took a few months. With a few exceptions - females in heat he would hump still today, years after. Which suprised me a lot. But he was a year old when he got his balls removed and had the hormones already in him.
Overall he mellowed out a lot. Now - only if another large male unfixed dog is around he will challenge him
But no more humping of other dogs under normal circumstances.

humping is an attempt to gain dominance, it starts when they were babies. observing the humping behavior of puppies allow breeders to tell which dog is dominant. Fixing (neutering) a dog will sometimes diminish some of the male aggresive behavior. However, if your dog has a natural tendence to dominant, the humping might continue after surgery. If humping persists,(even if it doesn't, you should do it as an owner anyway)make sure you let your dog know that you are the pack leader. there are numerous ways to do it.come back and post a question if you are not sure how to.

Humping is more of a dominance issue than a horny dog issue. Fixing him may not help, but unless you plan on breeding him, it is best to get him fixed.

Generally NO. But it will keep him from helping to create another litter of puppies to find homes for. He's come into his sexual maturity, and if he's already mated, you are gonna have a hard time breaking of this habit after he's neutered. Visit any of these sites to find more info: Dumb Friends Animal League of Denver, The Humane Society of the United States, The American Humane Association, North Shore Animal League, or contact your local humane society.

I'm afraid your dog has a behavior problem. He's trying to be dominant. Neutering really is not the solution for that. He will still try to be dominant over you and anyone in "his" house. A good training regimen might help.
Check out the "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan, has a wonderful website where you can ask questions and even "chat" with him at specific times.

Nope - humping is a dominance behavior. You need to show him YOU are top dog.
