Humping other male dogs Empty Humping other male dogs

My 10 month old male is bad for trying to hump other male dogs in between pretending to play with them! He's not neutered and I may or may not get it done in the future.
I was just wondering if anyone knew what the reasons for it were? Some people have suggested it's a dominance thing. Is that the generally accepted reason for this behaviour?

In my experience with Vin I put it down to a dominance thing,it just needs to be distracted straight away. Smile

I've never had a male either but would agree with the above posts.

If it's during play I'd be inclined to go with over excitement/excess energy that he's not sure to do with - my girl is anxious around other dogs and humps in play or when she gets too excited to see humans! Distract and give a small break from play when he does it, many dogs won't tolerate. Neutering would probably help - but then, my spayed female humps so it's not always a testosterone thing.
