    Yesterday Nero started humping his poor teddy! At just under 4 months old I thought he is a little young to be doing this. Anyone had their pup start humping this young?

    Agree , its very common , try to distract before it becomes too much of a hard habit to break , remove Teddy when he starts and offer him something else . Pups will often just fixate on one toy to hump , so taking it away will help :)

    Yes, at about 4 months, Charlie would hump one of his mats and occasionally a cushion. We'd remove the mat/cushion. He would try to get it back to hump. It was just a bit of an attention getting game. We removed that mat and cushion permanently and the humping stopped completely. He is 11 months now, and intact, so I'd say it's a good idea to just stop it before it becomes a habit.

    if you will always find it funny, even when he is 30kg, and for the next 12 years...then all is well. ;D ;D ;D

    Lmao, sorry but I found this really funny. :D ;D

    Harley started humping a teddy at 10 weeks old, I couldn't stop laughing so hubby had to take the teddy off her and luckily she hasn't done it since :)

    Layla (girl) humped me from 8 weeks old... she stopped a week ago (she is now 5 months). She did it on first seeing me in the morning and when she got really excited..... not very pleasant .... my left leg is now getting a reprieve LOL x
