This is rather embarrassing but, Cocoa is 4 months old and he has been humping things a lot, including my leg...he was doing that tonight and I picked him up to say NO! and he had a full erection and it was very dark red and he was breathing really heavy...it took a few minutes to go back down. What does this mean?? Is it normal for his age? Should he be neutered? I appreciate all the help I can get!

twalla · 04-11-2007, 07:42 PM

I have no idea but Im thankful that Sam hasnt done that. Id prolly just pass out!!! LOL

Im sure someone on here will have some great advice!

Aw, I'm sorry, that must be upsetting...I don't have your answer, but I'm curious as well.

Cocoa's Momma · 04-11-2007, 07:46 PM

Thanks for replying guys...maybe someone will know because I'm worried now!

florecita · 04-11-2007, 07:47 PM

hehehehehehe!!! sorry this is funny....same happens to me...I just make sure he has enough toys...It is normal but definitely your leg shouldn't be an option...I know some dogs do it even after they've been fixed...
I can tell you I was shocked

because he is my little angel

Cocoa's Momma · 04-11-2007, 07:49 PM

Ok, I'm glad its normal....excuse my frankness but I knew it was ok for a little bit of his pee pee to show but, tonight it was pretty much the whole thing! I good three inches and it was very startling...does your dog to that as well?

natalienicole · 04-11-2007, 07:57 PM

its definately normal my mom had a male yorkie once and its girl friend was a monkey house slipper and you couldnt take that thing away from him if you tried. id try to get him to love something else besides your leg tho thats prolly alittle to much.

Yeah, I always try to stop him when he does it to my leg. I am still in shock..he is my first male dog and I didn't know things like this happened at such a young age!

Rusty's Momma · 04-11-2007, 08:08 PM

Rusty does it too.... it takes a few minutes to go down, he certainly gets a good rest while he waits.

Anyways.... we have been trying to watch for it more lately and stop him but he does have his "special friend" and he doesn't do it to anything/one else. Whew!!!! You might try "Nah Ah" to get his attention and stop him each time or even a water bottle if he doesnt stop with Nah ah

I guess Im lucky ... My other two boys have never been humpers either... every now and then they will try to hump each other... And daycare did call me once to tell me that Martin REALLY loves Charlie

MyTrixie143 · 04-11-2007, 08:14 PM

Yes, it is perfectly normal. Some start doing it at an early age while others start much later. And some never have a problem with it. I have two males, one is a yorkie, the other is a maltese and the only time they have ever humped anything was a female dog when she is in heat.
I would say get your boy neutered as soon as you can. Until
then, I would discourage all humping, I wouldn't even recommend giving him a toy for humping, it will just encourage the behavior.

this is funny , but yeah ive heard of it , its normal .. lol to funny the way you discribed that was just to to to to cute

Cookie2 · 04-11-2007, 08:40 PM

It's normal.It's funny when it happens here. In fact my 10 1/2 week pup that is only now 17 oz humps the side of the bed and he falls over because he is so tiny lol. He humps a blanky and I found him humping one of Cookie's plastic toy that is a Hotdog. Now imagine a plastic chewtoy hotdog that is bigger than my 10 week old puppy!
