Dog Obedience Training - How to Cure Dog Mounting Problems

Why you dog or puppy may start mounting...

Some dogs and Puppies start exhibing this behavior when they play. They would have started mounting with their litter mates during playful situations and this behavior may continue especially after you have started play-time as this may stimulate over sexual behavior.
Some dogs and puppies start mounting as way of showing that they are the dominant and 'Alpha Male' or pack leader. In the wild the 'Alpha Male' is allowed to mount whichever female that takes his fancy and this has been passed down in today's dogs genes - so your dog or puppy is mounting as way of stating that he or she is the alpha male.
Mounting is relatively common in dogs that are going through puberty and they start exhibiting this behavior in resonse to a surge in their testoterone levels.

Prevention and Curing Dog Mounting Problems

Start by reminding your dog or puppy that there is no point him trying to prove he is top dog - as YOU are the top dog and 'Alpha Male' the more you exert your dominance the more he will realise that there is no point mounting.
Increase the amount of exercise that you give your dog as this will get rid of excess energy used in over sexual behavior.
Don't let your pooch get over excited - put him in another room when visitors arive - prevention rather than cure.
Do absolutely nothing - this beghavior will actually stop after a period of time as he grows older and more confident in himself.
You may consider neutering your dog as this improves about 1/3 of males who have shown previous mounting problems.
Finaly, if your dog is constantly mounting your leg - don't shale your leg as this will increase the reward - simply pick your dog up and divert his attention tyo something else.
