Thank you both so much, some good ideas there to try. He never humps anything else - he used to try with my other dog (and very, very occasionally still does) but she ends it with one, short snarl and that's that!

Hi everyone, My rescue dog has now been here 4 months and things are generally going okay - except for his humping! I'm struggling to know how to deal with it.
