We are newbies to puppy ownership so please forgive if this is a stupid
question.

Koda, the puppy, has been 'humping' my five year old. I gather this is a
display of dominance, which we think we have beat. Koda though has a new
'friend'. A stuffed toy that he plays with has now become the focus of
attention. Our thirteen year old son took delight in naming the toy
'Hump'hrey. My question is do I allow him to continue to 'dominate' this
toy, or by allowing this am I encouraging further bad behaviour. I'm also
curious if I stop Koda from mounting the toy, he'll return his attention to
my five year old.

The puppy, if it matters, is a cross between a Wheaten Terrier and an Eskimo
Spitz.

Thanks,
