How do I stop my American Staffy/Kelpie mix from humping my furniture?
I have a problem with my American Staffy/Kelpie mix. He keeps humping my furniture and it's becoming a real issue. Do you have any advice on how to stop him from doing this?
Yes, this is a common issue in dogs. One possible solution is to redirect his behavior with positive reinforcement training. When he starts to hump the furniture, redirect him to a more appropriate activity, such as playing with his toys or going for a walk. Reward him with treats or praise when he engages in the desired activity rather than humping the furniture.
