How to I train my puppy whos boss?

:]

Yesterday I went a picked up the most adorable male beagle. He is a little over 4 months old. He is my dog now. Making my mom his grandma and so on. He doesn't hump her leg but constantly humps mine. I know that it is to show dominance. Thus when he does this I either walk away, tell him No, have him sit down using treats, or put him in his cage until he calms down. What else can I do?


One more slight problem, how do I get him to not cry when he has to go night night in his cage or for a nap? Even when in my bedroom he cries. I am crate training him and we are currently look for a larger crate that he can have his water in and be able to move more freely in. I cover it with a blanket....what else?

Answer
did you neuter him?this is probably his puberty stage so his hormones are up and he will likely roam around the street for a female if unleashed thus getting hit by a car.or maybe its a dominance thing and hes showing u who's boss so when he humps ur leg he says "i own u ","im da boss".thats why u goota show him whos boss.neutering him will stop these behavior problems.training a dog takes patience and time so don't expect him to obey you right away.it will even take months!the best way is to encourage him with treats and love like you had mentioned.

there are some books about dogs that help alot when i used to had a dog(died hit by a car)or some websites
