Just tell the dog "No" when she does it and take the eeyore teddy away now!
My dog almost died from Tigger's foot (stuffed Tigger) in her intestines and needed an enterotomy....2 grand later and vomit covered beige carpet......you get the idea?
Give a hard toy like a kong, or nylabone

this is not easy but just a firm no and take her away from the toy or whatever she is humping.
A pup should not leave it's mom until 8 weeks and a lot of places have state laws requiring them to stay with their mom until 8 weeks
It's the time form 6-8 weeks that the mom trains them how hard to bite. how to play and act. you will often have more behavioral problems when they are taken to early
good Luck and get her spayed between 6 months

Okay, I have had this problem as well. I would try to get one of those collars that only your dog can hear. These work the best! Try to get it as soon as possible because the younger and sooner you start to train her she will start to get used to not doing the things you dont want her to do.!

When she does it tell her to stop and say no, if you have to take her toy away; treat it like a child.... be repeatitive and don't stop, if you give in it won't solve anything.... she will just start humping your guests legs when they come over...

Number 1 your pup should NEVER leave its litter mates until it is 8 weeks old! In some states that is illegal.
