    As the title suggests! Golden retriever only 11 weeks old. Pretty sure sex hormones don't arrive until 6 months in canines so is this a dominance thing? I have a 1 year old and I don't want the dog being dominant at all. Anything I can do?

    Good news OP; it's not a dominance thing! How do we know that? Because the dominance theory is less truthful than Trump on a bad day and has in full been concluded to be complete and utter BS so you can forget everything you heard about being the alpha dog/pack leader etc. and all the related things such as eating in front of your dog, rubbing their face in their own pee, forcefully pushing the dog to the ground etc.

    The humping is most likely related to reward so what is the puppies normal schedule in terms of walks, plays, feeding etc.? When does the humping happen etc.?

    Just tell him "no", remove the teddy and forget about it.:D

    Seriously...if and when a puppy that young shows unwanted behaviour, don't over-think the issue, just let the pup know that you don't like it...rinse and repeat as necessary until behaviour stops.

    That's it
