What is up with puppy humping??? Dakota is much to young, about 10 weeks, to know what it means . . . is it play or something I should worry about?

No worry it is okay just annoying and embarrasing I've seen my little pups very young do it. The only reason you would need to worry is if he was doing it constantly and humping everything in sight. Then that could mean his testicals weren't dropping (don't know any better way to say it) sorry. :roll:

Thank you! It's only occasional and been somewhat successfully discouraging it.

It's not sexual. It's a dominance thing. Females do it too.

You should discourage it, because you're pup is trying to exert dominance over you (or the lamp post or whatever he's humping ), and you should be the alpha...

But it's nothing to be "worried" about medically at this age...
