Depending on what you plan to do with your puppy affects how you deal with this sort of behaviour.
If you plan for him to have a long term stud career then you have to discourage him gently, just say 'Off' and remove him gently from your leg.
If he is to be a family pet a very firm "NO" an push him firmly away from the area he is humping.
This sort of behaviour is an early form of dominance by him. Do not worry about it if you control the behaviour now at this stage your puppy will not exibit this behaviour for long.

Okay Board Members
I answered this one. BUT this puppy was 8 weeks old.
Can I have an opinion here to I have a 5 and a half week old male puppy doing this to me. (NOTE he started this at 4 and a half weeks and I just kept removing him) As I haven't assessed him for quality can I also remind him of his manners at this age.
Guys I need a concensus here.

Freundhund
