he's trying to show dominancy. Google Nothing In Life is Free. You need to establish that you are the dominant one in the house hold. In his mind, he's the dominant one, so he thinks its his job to establish dominancy with any newcomer.

Humping is a sign of dominance. First you establish yourself as the dominant one at home (not sure if you are) with some basic obedience training. If he sits and waits as you tell him to, you're probably "top dog" in his eyes.
Have a friend who is willing to help you train the dog come to your house. Be close to your dog when your friend comes through the door. When your dog jumps up to start his humping, you immediately use a loud noise close to him to distract him ("no." or clap you hand and say "ack-ah", or a sudden rattle of a can full of coins). And the second the dog stops and lands back on his all fours, you tell him "Good boy." and gives him a treat. Repeat until he starts to get it.
If you dog doesn't react to any of these, and our dog IS small enough, the next tactic you can try is to physically push him down GENTLY to his side, and say "NO" firmly when he does this. Do not push him so he's on his back cuz that would make him feel too vulnerable.

If it's a young pup it's dominence. If it's 6 months or older he has probably reached sexual maturity. Neutering will most likely stop it unless he is much older and it has become a hibit. In that case it's going to take a lot more time and patience, but it can be done. Just distract him right away as soon as he looks like he's about to start humping.

Is he neutered? If not, this may certainly help!
If he is neutered - humping can be a dominance thing. You need to find a way to train your dog to understand he is NOT leader of the pack, but in the meantime, keep a tight grip on his leash when in public, and shut him away in other rooms when people visit!

It is most likely too many boy hormones. Is he quite young? Neutering is the best way to help and is good to prevent him fathering puppies and keep him healthy too.
