Fixing him doesn't stop the humping. It is a dominence issue... he is trying to be alpha. Next time he does it to a person, put him on his back (use the scruff to do this) get in his face (if you really trust him) and tell him NO!... eventually he will stop doing to people. The other things... heck let him be dominent over other animals or furniture.

I don't know how old your dog is but when they hump people or animals they are trying to show they are the dominate one. All dogs do try to do that. I would make him stop to let him know you are the dominent one. Also, make sure you neuter you male dog. It is not a phase that your dog is going through. You have to keep on him to make sure when he starts to do that, you stop him and tell him no and Make Him Get Down. You are the boss.

And you still haven't made things any clearer. You gave your dog away twice now - live with it. Boarding includes an explicit (written) agreement that the situation is temporary, and that the owner gets the dog back after a certain period of time and after paying the boarding fee. If you weren't sure about your decision to give the dog up, this is what you should have done. Fostering a dog means providing it a temporary home until a new, permanent home can be found. Rescue dogs are placed in foster homes until they are adopted.

Humping is a way of a dog showing and taking dominance. If you dog is not fixed then for the health of the dog he should be neutered. You and your family need to become the leader of the pack, exercise discipline and affection is needed on a daily basis.

This is normal at all ages but a phase when the dog begins puberty or starts maturing into adulthood. It is nothing to worry about. You don't have to neuter him.

What your dog is doing is very normal... he is establishing dominance. It has very little to do with feeling fruity and wanting a romp. My dog, 9 months old now doesn't hump anyone or anything but he did when he was younger. He was trying to figure out his role in our pack... now that I taught him his role... no humping.. and he still has his dangly bits!

my dog does that too. actually you're right...they're going through a phase when they feel like they are ready for a mate. as long as it gets neutered/spayed the problem should go away.

If you are not going to breed him, get him fixed or he will never stop humping.
