My puppy is 4 months old and he always humps me. When he is humping, he always bites too. How do I keep him from doing both? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

It sounds like it's time for his "special day" at the vet's office. Once you get the little guys taken off, this problem will go away.

A puppy learns how to tell whether or not biting is a good thing by how their litter mates and mom respond. When a puppy bites mom and she doesn't like it, she gets up and walks away, taking with her: her warmth, protection, milk. When a puppy bites its fellow litter mates and they don't like it they give a high pitched yelp, sooner or later the biting puppy realizes that biting people is not good. As for humping that is about dominance, and you need to assert yourself or he will be very hard to train and live with. You may have to get him neutered. Get some training books and get busy. Most dogs want to be good dogs, you just have to show them what behavior is good behavior. Encourage good behavior a lot. Treats and praise. Don't give him any attention when he does bad things. Negative attention is better than no attention when you are you dogs whole world. No attention can be a powerful training tool when used properly.

Haha.. He is dominating you.. He is pretty young to be dominating you.. He must sense your inexperience and know that you haven't a clue what to do.. You should find a good trainer and take some classes, re-establish, or take alpha position over your dog.. It's going to continue.. then he'll start guarding things, won't let people touch him, take his toys, near his food dish.. THen you'll be in trouble.

If he is not neutered, then get him neutered. A gentle smack with a rolled up newspaper, every time he starts doing it with a loud firm NO should do the trick.

Every time he humps you just be like : BAD DOG
and get him off you except not harfully just move your leg so it;ll get off, then leave.
you might want to get him neutered, that way he'll be sure to stop doing that
hope that helps :)

tell him NO right before he starts to do this. if you can't catch him before he starts, say no and gently spray the air around him with a squirt bottle. it wont hurt him at all but it will scare him enough to not do it again. i used this technique on my dog to stop excessive barking and it worked wonders. good luck!

Get him a stuffed animal. My friend had a chihuahua and he made this stuffed animal his girlfriend instead of everybodies legs. Just be sure to wash it frequently.

Try diciplining him. don't say "no" or "bad dog" . push him firmly in the neck with two fingers to startle him and break his concentration. once he stops "shhh" loudly or use another lort noise to mean "no" for him. apply this to anything else he does that you don't like. Cesar Milan "The Dog Whisperer" does it all of the time and it registers in the dog that he doesn't like their behavior. you will have to be donsistent and firm with him even when he does it to others. If he persist the next step in having him fixed.
