my minipoo has a habit of humping to peoples legs imagining it was a girly poo. Is that a bad thing? or natural behavior if it's bad please help me solve it.. thanks
Jester used to do this too, not to me but to our standard poos and the cat...lol. It is definitely a dominance thing. I think he felt that he was small so he had to prove himself the "top dog".. lol. I would tell him "off" or "leave it" and then when he got off and sat looking at me (always with his perky eyes and ears like he was saying "What? I'm too cute to do anything wrong!") I would praise him for staying off the other dog (or cat). If he was on lead and we were out walking somewhere, I would take him away from the other dog and make him sit quietly for a few seconds then praise him for doing so. I did get him neutered, but that did not stop him doing this. Just having him get off and then praising him for staying off and he no longer does it.
I don't know about your guy, but Jester has that innocent look down pat!! LOL. He gives me that innocent look, like if I catch him chewing on something he shouldn't be or trying to get into one of the other dogs dishes since he eats his fast and hopes to get some of theirs. I say, "Jester, leave it" and he turns around, sits and looks at me with those innocent eyes and and expression on his face like he would NEVER do anything he shouldn't..lol His name, Court Jester, fits him to a tee... he is the comedian and instigator of the family.
