Is he neutered?
I have a female Boston who is spayed. But definitely has some humping, "I'm top dog" issues. Gotta love 'em. But I have begun squelching the humping. At first it was infrequent and minor, then went through a spell where it was all about humping. If you have had other Bostons you know their personalities. But I would think the main thing would be, especially in a male, neutered vs. not neutered. Perry "LDRS News Glo" wrote in message ... I wrote a few weeks ago about my problem with my new 10 month old Boston Terrier, who is now 11 months. The problem was he was "humping" my two Pugs. It's subsided a lot. He does, however, still try to do it to dogs at the park. I have him on a 15 ft. lead, so I can monitor his behavior. Is there any trick to making him stop this unacceptable behavior? Again, he's MUCH better at home. He gets a LOT more supervised time with the other Pugs and he's behaving for longer periods of time. The squirt bottle works wonders with him. I can tell he's going to be a great dog. I've had 3 Bostons in the past and I've never had this problem. JJ is larger than most Bostons, he's 28 lbs and will probaby get a little bit bigger, he'll fill out. He's handsome, he's extremely playful. If he were the only dog in the house, he'd be a wonderful little guy. I believe he's also trying to establish some "top dog" issues. One good thing is none of them fight, they're all GREAT dogs. Two Pugs and a Boston is a handful, but once JJ gets over this...um..."hump" he'll be great. Advice about the humping in the park would be much appreciated. Thanks. Gloria |

Gloria I wish I had the answer, Gloria! I have an 8 year old yellow lab who was neutered at 9 months, and he is still Mr. Hormones! Yesterday in the park we met up with a gorgeous reddish-brown and tan mixed female (part lab, weim?, something with pricked ears?). She was spayed and a year old. After the obligatory sniffs, she started to try to entice him to play and body-slammed him a couple of times. He started to try to hump the little flirt - and not just the sideways air humps that he tries on our GSD - he was grabbing her around the waist. I yanked him off and put him in a sit - several times. But this shameless little hussy kept backing up to him with her tail in sideways position - an invitation if I've ever seen one! Luckily, his owner thought this was all hilarious... but we sure don't know what to do about Mr. Hormones' behavior! FurPaw -- "In a sense, we are hallucinating all the time. What we call normal vision is our selecting the hallucination that best fits reality." - V. S. Ramachandran To reply, unleash the dog |

From: "Perry Templeton BRBR
But I would think the main thing would be, especially in a male, neutered vs. not neutered. BRBR I adopted JJ from Animal Care and Control, and he was neutered about 3 weeks ago, a day before I got him. I think that's part of the problem, he's still feeling his "oats". It has tapered significantly around the house. The problem now is taking him to the park. I hate it when he starts humping the other dogs, especially the small ones. Most of the other dogs "tell him off", but he takes it as a game and goes back. I'm sure it will stop as he matures, I just thought someone would have a suggestion for now when I take him to the park. Thanks, Perry. Gloria |
