    Why doesnt he hump me and just humps Caesar and my boyfriend? Not that I have humping envy, just curious.

    Is this a sign of a sexy dog?

    HAHAHAHA!!! Take him to a doghouse of ill repute!!!

    "humping envy"…hahaha!!! That's funny.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    Our Chance is going on 15 weeks and he has "humped" a few things. His favorite thing to hump is my back :(
    I will be sitting on the couch and he will worm himself behind me and try to hump my back. Of course I stop it immediately. I even went to the extent to purchase him a "hump doll" from the store. He would rather hump the cat or me instead :(
    It has concerned me..The last thing I want is a dog who humps in public. Thats a real conversation starter ;) lol

    I believe that this is one instance where negative reinforcement might be helpful. That's the way dogs teach each other to give them space, maybe it would work with humans too. Any one else have any thoughts on using negative reinforcement in this situation?

    Senji is 11 years old and was "fixed" at 6 months. He never really humped anyone, but first thing in the morning after he wakes up, he has his morning "boner". He just kind of air humps for a few seconds and then licks the exposed part of his penis.

    Vegas, I think you are talking about punishment…negative reinforcement is actually a different principle, that I won't bore everyone by getting into. But yes, you could use punishment here, I suppose. It would depend on what you and the dog viewed as punishment though...I probably just re-direct the pups attention, and find a more appropriate way to play.

    A squirt bottle might be an appropriate punishment here.

    Querk humped one of our male friends' arms (or tried to, we saw when he got the look in his eye, and distracted him). He did it for a few weeks when he was little. He is intact, and he grew out of it. But he has never been a really "testosteroni" kind of dog. He only humps now when the girls are in heat. Has to be 'his' girls, and it has to be at the peak of estrous. We have a special humpy blanket for him, so he doesn't violate the couch cushions ;)

    Hahahaaa!!! LOL :o This thread is so funny - reminds me of morning radio host talk on a rock-n-roll station here in Detroit. Can we get any more descriptive? :D :D

    Sorry, I don't have anything to contribute, but I find this thread entertaining. Thanks! :cool:

    When my dog wakes up from sleeping he sometimes humps air and walks while doing it. It is so strange, like he just cant help it. Must be some good dreams:p
    Anyone who has seen this just cracks up.
    Other than that he humps my boyfriends dog but that is a way for him to get her to play and she really doesnt mind she (Phoebe the frenchie) just kinda stands there and looks around.

    I dont know what to make of any of it, I am just glad he does not do it in public

    Squiggy does this too, I have never heard of it. He doesnt "expose" him self, but he does look around with a look that says "huh? what is going on?" or it could be "darn it, who woke me up?"
    he doesnt do it all the time, but when he does it is so funny. Air humping :p

    @bluebert When I first heard of them, I thought nonsense but went looking. It's the same principle as tight chutes for cattle. The woman who did the resea and developed the hug machine for autistic clients has helped spread t he tecnology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hug_machine

    I can only comment on my experiences with Kipawa, my first basenji, who is just shy of 2 years old. @viv58: 1. OBS #1: they were only affectionate on their terms and didnt like to be petted or picked up.Is this more common than not. They wanted to be by you, but hands off for the most part. 2. OBS#2: Off the leash - they are unpredictable and may not come when called. Had some wild roaming experiences at the off-leash beach. Always kept treats -and 95% of the timeit worked.Can you train them to counter this? or is this a stretch ? 3. OBS#3: Not snuggly 4. OBS#4: Only looked me in the eye when I had food- everything was a distraction. 1. Kipawa is just an extremely affectionate dog. His affection for me is special, but he recognizes all family members and care aides who come into the house and enjoys their attention and gives it back. He loves being petted and adores being massaged, but has a preference for it being from someone in his 'pack' (family members and care aides). He will tolerate being picked up by anyone, but prefers it when I do it. He is a little uncomfortable when turned on his back, however, we practice this quite a bit and he's getting better at it, especially if tummy rubs are included. 2. The only areas Kipawa is off leash is in our backyard or dog parks that are fully fenced. For these places, he is predictable, because he is very used to them. He usually comes when called, but if it doesn't work, I carry the squeaker part of a squeaker toy with me, and that most always brings him back. If he needs to come to me based on an emergency situation (say he got onto a street by accident), I have a word/sound that I only use in emergency situations. He is excellent at responding to that. All this said, if he spotted a bunny in the dog park, I don't think the emergency recall would work. Based on his breeders seeing him this summer, they have indicated he has a very high prey drive. 3. Kipawa is super snuggly all the time and is also a 'velcro dog'. We are tightly bonded. He is on my lap when I watch TV, or at least laying against me. He sleeps under the blankets on my side of the bed. 4. He easily looks me in the eye. If I am talking to him, we have full eye contact. He enjoys when we give each other 'soft eyes' - the slow blinking a person/dog might do when fully relaxed or before settling down for a nap. If he is distracted (only happens outside) I use the command 'watch me' to get eye contact. Usually 95% success rate, but that would go down to zero should he see a bunny. I can't answer your other questions. Kipawa will be a solo dog in our home. As for the breeders, his breeders were Therese and Kevin Leimback (FoPaws Basenjis) from Washington state. We researched for a year before selecting them. Their breeding program concentrates a great deal on temperament. Hope this helps.

    My previous males never had an opportunity to meet other basenjis (outside their breeder kennel) so don't know if the experience with my current female is "typical" or not. The first time she encountered another, it was a tri-color older female that was a real bitch and instantly got aggressive (now whenever they see each other its "hackles up"). The first time I took her to a lure coursing event, mine was friendly enough until a little blind female came up and bit her. The second time I took her to a LGRA event, a lady came up behind us (while mine was trying to potty) with her tricolor female and her dog attacked mine. So now hackles go up any time another female comes within shouting distance.

    Move the crates to different rooms. The female won't be able to see what's going on. Give the male his food first, then feed the female a little later. Don't let them out of the crates at the same time.
