Desexing your dog eliminates sexual urges behind some humping but doesn't always completely end the behavior.
Neutering Helps
Interrupt humping then ask for an alternate good behavior, like sit, before praising and treating.
Redirect and Reward
Monitor play to prevent overexcited humping and introduce guests calmly to diminish anxiety and dominance displays.
Avoid Triggers
If stress is the cause, utilize calming techniques to ease your dog’s mind along with humping deterrents.
Address Anxiety
Stand between dogs if one is humping another or place a treat toy to block dog and object.
Discourage Physically
A firm “no” or startling noise when humping begins can inhibit the behavior.
Verbal Correction
Habits like humping take time and consistency to overcome. Stick to training and your dog will catch on!
Be Patient!
