Neutered, but still humping like crazy!
Submitted by jwhitey28 on January 20, 2015 - 12:51pmI recently adopted a 1 year old male English bulldog. I already had a spayed 2 year old English bulldog. I had the male neutered last week, but he is still humping the female like CRAZY!! I was told that it would take a little time for him to stop, but he isn't slowing down at all, and it is constant. Has anyone experienced this, and is there anything I can do? How long will it take for him to stop this? Any info would help. My poor female is half his size, and is exhausted from fighting him off!

If I were in that situation...
I think I would separate them just to give your girl some peace. I've heard it can take 6 or more weeks for the hormones to leave a male after neutering, but it can also be a behavioral problem. You might want to get a trainer to give you some advice on how to get him over this behavior. I have a male that is almost 11, neutered at 6 months, and he still tries to hump sometimes. He's trying to show his dominance.
My boy humped his whole life.
Naughty behaviour, not hormones when they don`t exist. I attended a behaviour semminar about this. My boy was neutered at 6 months and lifted his leg on everything and humped when he thought he had the oppourtunity. Time out every time, but I knew he wouldn`t understand that. My bully before him was neutered later at 14 months and never humped ever nor did he ever lift his leg Different personalities. I would not think the neutering would cut down on the behaviour, but that is just my experience.
BTW "Dominance" has been debunked. There is no scientific evidence that backs up former dominance theories. No such thing in animal behaviour. Many studies have been done on this to totally debunk it now.
