He does the hump-on me :(.
A few weeks ago I put post about Debo didn't let me relax. It didn't get better,he decided that he will brake me different way. He started to hump me. I tell him off everytime and put him outside,but it doesn't make a different. He does it when my OH is not around. Why he does it and how to stop it??????? I don't let him get away with staff but maybe he does see me as a weaker person.

Re: He does the hump-on me :(.
It's nothing to do with you being weaker. Please get this dominance nonsense out of your head!
Dogs hump because they have excess energy, mainly. It isn't particularly sexual & although it can be a dominant behaviour with other dogs (even bitches do it!) it's rarely that with humans.
He basically just gets over excited, he's going through a rush of hormones, and because you are more 'exciting' (in a play-with-me way) that your oh, you get the worst of it!
Just keep doing what you're doing & once the hormone rush is over & he starts to mature mentally as well as physically it'll stop.

Thank you for your replies,I always can count on you two. This dominance thing got stuck in my head again after lovely family visit. One person ( who always knows better) make a comment about Debo's behavior. I know I should put it in one ear and let it out the other but it just kind of stay. But thanks to you my mind is on the right track.

He's just over-excited. Some dogs jump, some dogs bite, some dogs hump...some do all three . Just keep up with what you're doing and he'll get the hang of it. Maybe when he stops, reward him by playing with him, that way he spends time playing with you and burning off some energy, without having to hump you.

He's super over-exited! But will stay strong.
