Well, we've had Barny for a couple of weeks( I will put some photos on soon) and he is quite a handful at times. He poses different issues to Misty, who was very shy and had to be coaxed out of her shell as a puppy. He is full of confidence. Misty is putting him in his place most of the time as he is always nipping her paws and tail but sometimes he gets so excited he starts humping our legs ! I have never had a male before, he is only 10 weeks old. Is this usual? We are starting training classes this week so I will bring this up then. I was just after peoples thoughts
Diesel is the first male dog I have had - I got him at 15 months and he has never humped anything - he was castrated at 2years 4 months x

I think that at this age it is more to do with play/experimenting than anything really sexual. I have seen dogs that have it 'bad' but it's been more of habit/attention seeking. My pup (14 weeks) has humped his bed for the first time this weekend - and boy, he was really into it. I think you should just try and distract him for now - and hope he gets bored of it. He's probably just like a little boy toddler who's just found that thing in his pants!!!
