    That's totally normal, your dog still has a high level of testosterone in his blood, it can take up to 4-5 months for it to decrease to a point where you will notice any behavioural changes, which is why neutering isn't a quick fix for any problems like roaming / humping etc. BTW, humping is not just a sexual thing, its a way that dogs, usually males assert their dominance too, which is why you often see two male dogs 'at it', it doesn't mean any of them have homosexual tendancies, the 'top dog' is just showing the other one who's boss! It can also be part of 'carried away excited puppy' behaviour. Sometimes it can be pure habit, try distracting the dog the next time he does it, clap your hands, or ignore him, he'll learn that it doesn't get him any benefits. :D

    its not a huge probelm for us lol ...
    he is very puppy-ish and playful :D
    thats prob all it is ......
    we got him neuthered because old dog died from a cancer tumor in his anal , i have heard neuthering can help prevent this ....
    we keep him away from vistors , because it would freak them out ...
    he mostly does it to my ma , which is just funny lol ,

    This behaviour may never disappear! My 12 yr old cross (spayed since she was 1.5 yrs old) still mounts the cushions in our house! Its not always a sexual behaviour trait and can be associated with the dog trying to assert their dominance..puppies do it before hormones kick in!
