Is this normal for a dog of this age to do this..? I plan on getting him 'done' but not until he is six months old.

"if he humps you, what i was told to do it, turn him around, holding him upside down , his back to the floor and hold him tightly and wait until he stops quirming , at the same time, look at him straight in the eyes until he stops"
Do not do this. Please? It's called the alpha roll - the only reason a dog will turn another forcibly on its back is to kill it. I'm serious, your dog is just going to fear for its life and that's not the kind of thing most people consider acceptable when training pups or dogs of any age. Depending on your dog's temperament this can result in two outcomes: either they fight back out of defense or anger, or they get traumatised and acquire some lovely behavioural problems such as submissive urination. Just do a google search for "alpha roll" and read two or three articles. I know this isn't related to your question (the only answer I have to that is neutering and ignoring the behaviour until he's old enough to get done) but there is no way I was going to sit by and let someone offer you advice that awful.

Did you even examine the reply I presented on your previous question? to respond to your question, no. they don't seem undesirable. doggies would adjust to you speedier, because they're nonetheless doggies, likelihood is they were both born in the preserve or surrendered there so early in existence they don't save in thoughts something despite the indisputable fact that the preserve. If it really is a sturdy preserve, meaning they could no longer were abused, they could no longer have discovered no longer to believe human beings, and they are going to comfortable as a lot because the first human being that takes them abode and shows them human being interest. Even the canines that are already a million+ 12 months previous are not from now on undesirable canines--they could properly be nerve-racking, or distrustful, and perchance that makes them incompatible with eco-friendly or first time vendors, yet with the right human being, they could and could learn. they don't seem undesirable. that is why the biggest area of having any canines, from anyplace, is that you do your study, ideally spend your time with the canines you're searching to undertake, and put in the time previous regulation and attempt to discover the canines that is the right in good structure on your spouse and children. That the guy canines clicks which include your spouse and children is even better significant than the breed of the canines you've got here across, I dare say.

Thomas S. Having him done will not end the problem. I was told by my vet where I take my dog that is is not rude it is a domineering thing with the dog. All dogs do it even if they are neutered or not. My dog does it still and he has been neutered for nearly 5 years.

it wont last
i have a puppy(male) he is 5 months
and just stated humping me whenever we play with his toy slipper
eh, getting him neutured isn't always the end of that problem
he'll eventually stop
if he humps you, what i was told to do it, turn him around, holding him upside down , his back to the floor and hold him tightly and wait until he stops quirming , at the same time, look at him straight in the eyes until he stops
he wont do it again.
it did really work for my pup.

I think I read somewhere that this is normal and when you see him doing it, take his toy or blanket away. It worked for our puppy. We are still waiting to get him "done" but our vet has said not to do so until he is 9 months

this is normal and male dogs can start this from an early age. there's not alot you can do about this behavior apart form having him castrated when hes reached an appropriate age or weight.
unfortunately sometimes even when castrated the behavior can continue. it becomes an habitual behavior they sometimes continue to do.
try to stop of prevent him doing it.
he may also be doing this as a dominance behavior also, its not always hormones but his learning curve to being a alpha male! or so he thinks!

My puppy took to my curtains until he managed to pull the pole off the wall due to all his action with them. He has never attempted thankfully to try it on a human.

Perfectly normal! A little young maybe, but just like humans, they all start at their own time!
You're doing the right thing by having him fixed when he's old enough - Thanks for adding that!
