male puppy question

[rdhy2k]

I have always had females......so this is new to me. Oliver is only 10 weeks old. I have noticed lately as he plays with his stuffed animals, he will start to hump them. I know this is natural but I do not want him being a humper. Should I stop him with a firm NO, or let him do it. I dont know if males just stop doing this as they get older or I need to nip it now.

Tell him to stop it with firm NO!!

If it is an unwanted behavior then I would correct it. At this age the behavior isn't sexually driven, it's more of a dominance behavior than anything......so, yes, a firm no is the way to go.

I got Jax at about that age and he was a big jumper too, toys, legs, my arm. Once he got neutered it stopped.

:nono: stop him with the firm no, it is behavioral and you want him to know it is not acceptable

I agree with all of the above. Just say "NO" to humping!

Agreed.....firm no. I have an Oliver too.
