Strategy #1 :
Strategy #1 Say "No" with a stern voice. Drive home the point that this is bad by using a loud and disapproving tone.
Try using a spray bottle. Yes, you'll need to carry a spray bottle with you for a bit until your dog is trained out of the habit. However, using a spray bottle is a gentle way to give your dog the message fast.
When your dog initiates the humping, spray him in the face with cold water from the spray bottle while simultaneously yelling no. Forcefully pull him off the object or uhh...person.
As you know, positive reinforcement is the best kind of training, however, this is one of the few exceptions when scolding your dog during the act of the negative behavior may be required.
Strategy #2 :
Strategy #2 Distraction can work as well. Many dog owners find that dog humping is a temporary habit. Try distracting your dog with a toy, a walk, exercise or a training session.
Dog humping is an instinctual response. Change your dog's focus and he'll stop the behavior.
