How to Stop a Dog from Humping Your Leg
(If Desired)
Let's face it, we've all come across humping dogs. It's unpleasant
to watch and extra unpleasant if the dog happens to be yours.
But, what happens if you are attacked by a humping dog and he
happens to be yours? Sure, as male puppies mature you need to
have that talk about them about moving into puberty and how their
bodies "will change".
But, what does this really mean to a dog? Nothing. Sitting them
down for "The Talk" will not stop the humping. Now your
humping dog can be quite embarrassing when you have guests over
to your home (and perhaps your humping dog has already kept some
guests away).
Depending upon the quality of the humps, how much he clings and
how easy or hard he is to shake off will determine the proper
amount of embarrassment. Now, if your dog humps your leg you can
pass it off as a joke, give a short kick and send your pooch flying.
This is one way to deal with it. If your pooch humps your guest's
leg, you can also administer an authoritative yet less lethal
blow to the canine so that he stops his humping immediately.
I don't recommend pepper spray or a taser in this case, though
a rolled up newspaper may come in handy. As you are removing the
dog from leg a stern "NO!" is also in order.
Now, when your guests are away, you may just enjoy your dog humping
your leg. Hey, it's a free country and as long as no laws are
broken and you're in the privacy of your own home, who is to say
what is right and what is wrong?
Now, if you accept this behavior from your pooch, then a soft
"Yes" is in order. Perhaps dinner and a movie first
is to your liking. The movie you may watch may be "Humping
Dog, Hidden Dragon" or something similar.
Now, one of the biggest turn offs to this humping dog scenario
is if your puppy drags his butt across the carpeting first because
of worms. This pretty much breaks the mood and there will be no
humping this night.
But if you are in the mood still then it is recommended that
you wear a couple pair of long and thick socks upon your leg.
If you want to play a prank then just a tiny amount of itching
powder on the sock may be just what you're looking for.
No matter what a humping dog can run the gamut from a deep embarrassment
in front of guests to your best friend on a lonely night. Keep
you options open. You never know when a better humping dog may
just come along.
