Oh my! My dog is humping this pillow and I want to know if I should stop it? because he gets this weird thing going on with his d!ck and it gets red, swollen, and DRIPS! So I think that means he is erect! Ewww!
If he favors that pillow over anything else, you might want to a) clean it.. sterilize it, and b) use a pet-friendly freshening spray on it like Fabreeze (?. Not sure how pet friendly they are). Helps get rid of the scent, and might help him leave it alone. If he takes to humping something else, just discourage him from it and let him know he's being bad. Don't take to abuse though...
How old is he? If he's still pretty young, he may grow out of it.
My 6 year old entire male does it vigorously to his cushion but worse when he smells a bitch in heat. He does get a tad aggressive with me if I confiscate it.... would it be better to let him have the cushion as best took out on that than me! and yes castration would be an option but at 6 I am worried it may have the adverse effect
Yes, that is what it means.
Dogs need to deal with their own natural urges, and often, they will do it in this manner (my mother's dog favoured a stuffed elephant).
You can discourage the behaviour, but stopping it will be more difficult. Even dogs who are neutered will often do this.
Small dogs seem to do this behavior...I've yet to see a large do it...but if it drives ya crazy, do stop the behavior...a tin can with pennies in it...a loud verbal noise (shhhtt!!)...a spray bottle...anything that will distract the dog...then take away the toy...

uh I suggest you get him neutered, if you already did because only 80% of dogs stop the hormonial behavior thensquirt him with a water bottle, distract him with anything loud noises, stuff like that.
Uhm yeah my dog loves his minnie mouse... There's not much you can do about it, you might want to consider getting him neutered, (usually helps, not a guarantee though)
Yes you should stop him because that's a bad habit. Also, get him neutered ASAP. It will curb the humping and decrease his chances of getting cancer.
hahahaha this made me laugh. ummm, as long as it's not people theni dont think it really matters.
my dog is always humping pillows. it eventually goes away. I just let him to do
That's just nasty.
