ya thats prefectly normal.Once you get him fixed(if you are)the problem will usually go away.My dog did the same thing really young.It's just an intinct in male does, very common.

Yes, Its very normal. Humping things is a male dogs natural instinct. When he does it tell him to stop and eventually he will stop. But yes it is very common for puppies to do that.

it is not to normal to see when you cach him tell him no bad dog and give him a little spank on the butt.

haha yes thats very normal and very common in animals a lot of animals do that when they are ready to mate with another animal.. thats all it is your dog is frisky and wants to mate.. the only way to stop your dog from doing that is just to take the object away but theres really no other way to keep your dog from doing that

Honestly i have no clue if it's normal or not but i have a puppy too(he's about 4 months old now). i got him when he was 2 months old and he did that too...mostly too our legs when we wore baggy pants and he's fixed and everything. he does it less now though. if it helps if it's not normal then our dogs are wierd together.

ok this may sound very awkward but here it is.. your dog is just extremely excited. if hes not fixed then when he odes get fixed then he'll probably stop, i have alot of freinds with dogs that do that, hes just a puppy so dont worry about it. you can talk to your vet about it, but theyll probably just laugh and say its normal..
hope i helped =]
ps: he souns sooo cute ;]

This may sound strange, but it is all about dominance and not sex. He probably won't be sexually mature until around 6 months (considering the two breeds). Although there is controversy about neutering early, most vets that I know will not do the surgery until the pup is 6 months old. This is normal behavior for a dominate puppy, yes. My guess is, he is trying to express that he wishes to be charge. When there is no pack leader in the household, the dog will assume that roll automatically. You should curtail this behavior before it escalates into a more serious pack leader mentality. The link I posted will give you an idea of what I am talking about here. Good luck...and enjoy your puppy!

Yes it is normal. But you should try to ween him off his habit just tell him no until he gets the picture. Hope i helped. :)

It's normal. Just tell him to stop whenever he does it, that way he will know he is doing something wrong and it should happen less. Hope this helps.

Yep, it's normal. He may..or may not.. grow out of it. I have a Golden Retriever, who is a female, who still does that. Males are probably more prone to doing it though. He might stop eventually. Is he neutered? If he isn't, he may stop when he is neutered. Puppys start to mature sexually about 7 or 8 weeks so yeah, that's pretty normal.

hehe...yes its normal all pupps do when their young.
]
lol, yea that's normal. My dog used 2 do it, but now he's old, and he doesnt do it anymore. He might grow out of it tho.
]
Yes. If it's the same thing, my cat did it. He was like putting his arms all over it and rocking back and fourth. My mom said it's something to do with his mom? They did it when they were babies.. I'm really not sure lol, but it's normal.

Yes it is very normal. All dogs hump, at ANY age. Mostly guys though. You just have a hormonal filled' god. Haha. Well hope I have helped :]
]
Yah that's normal. Believe it or not, even female dogs do it!
Alot of the reason dogs hump on things is because that shows empowerment. Meaning, your dog is showing your blanket he's more powerful. I know it sounds weird, but it's true.
If you get him neutered when he's of age to do so, he will probably stop.
]
yes thats normal. any age for a dog is normal for humping. My chihuahua stopped after he got fixed, but my other one didn't. I guess it just depends on the dog. But, if you see him doing this, I would hit him on his butt, not hard, and tell him no.

no thats not normal i had a dog like that and it didnt do that u mite wantatalk 2 some one about that
