About a week ago or so he started humping our other dog, Rambo. Then this morning I was sitting on the floor cleaning up something and he mounts my leg and starts to hump my leg. Its been 30 minutes and he has tried to hump my leg 6 times. If my leg is on the couch then he will claw at it to try and bring it down or wait there till I put my leg down. I don't want the problem to escalate.

How old is your dog and is he neutered? It's common for puppies, especially unaltered ones, to do this at first. It could be anything from dominance to adolescence to "marking his territory." Just pick him up and put him in a time out area for a couple minutes whenever he starts doing this. Teach him that it's an unacceptable behavior and he will eventually stop doing it as much. However it's imperative that you correct him while he's doing the act and not after, or else he wont know what he's being punished for.

Also it's worth noting that a dog might still act this way around other dogs (especially females) even after he gets neutered. In that case though it would be purely dominance related which is completely normal behavior from what I understand.

Again a lot of it is probably just age and hormones, which will calm down after awhile. It's more embarrassing to pet owners than anything. Hope I helped! Smile

My other dog is a male, and he will just lay there. But Hanzo will be 3 months on the 19th of this month, so next month we are neutering him. And it did help! Thank you!

Totally agree with Aidan, some dogs seem to hump just because it feels good but all dogs need to be taught that there's a time and place for it.
I have a similar problem with Avalanche, it's not humping but sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. One fellow, in surprise, hauled off and hit him (can't really say as I blame him, getting goosed by a dog ...) and it hasn't really phased him. It's one of those "works in progress".

And for him sticking his nose in the wrong place, do you just put him in time out as well? Hanzo does that sometimes.

Wow, that's pretty extreme to hit a dog for that.  I never could understand the big deal about getting goosed, as it were, by a dog.  I mean would this same guy hit a dog for smelling his hand or leg?  

Why is it such a problem that dogs are interested in our genitals?  Check that, I know why........so that's a rhetorical question, but rather, I find it silly and unfortunate.

Dogs like smells, enough said.  It really isn't more dynamic than that. I find it just as silly that we treat dogs' genitals as though they're human as well, as though they too have sexuality and gender like we do.

Jeff, I'm pretty sure that if he'd known it was Avalanche he wouldn't have swiped at him; as it was there were a group of us who had just unloaded a truck and he backed up far enough that he was in reach of Avalanche - surprise. I figure he thought it was one of us messing with him. As it was we all laughed at him which probably didn't help his feeling at all - oh well.

Sydney, normally he gets "yelled at" and told to behave. He does know better - I think!
I don't remember asking, what part of Texas and excuse me if I have already ...

Yes it IS a surprise - Ami is forever goosing me. When he wants to play, or just let me know he's around - his favorite is when I'm bent over head first straightening his dog house bedding. Big fat nose comes up and jabs me right in the butt. Then stands back and grins. I swear, he just grins at me "gotcha Mom!"

If Link had his way we wouldn't need towels at all after showers.

Like the others said that's not really a behavioral problem and can't easily be fixed, so a time out probably wont teach him to know better here. Instead I would just sort of brush him off you whenever he does that. Maybe ignore him for a couple seconds too so the message can really settle in that you don't like him doing that. It might not fix the problem completely, but it will help at least when he's around you. As long as you don't encourage the behavior it wont happen as often as it might otherwise.
