Tucker has done that before. It is usually when he gets too stimulated during play. We have just pushed him away like you have. Try getting a soup can and filling it with a few marbles or penny's, put the top back on and tape it close. When he does the humping, shake the can. The noise should deter him. If you are consistent and do it everytime, he will learn that the unpleasant noise happens everytime he humps you and will stop doing it. The can works good with a lot of unwanted behaviors. The problem is having the can ready when it happens. You could make several and keep them around the house.


It also might help if you get him fixed, but at 15 weeks, that is a little too young. He is probably trying to figure out where he is in the pack. He may be trying to place him self over your wife in the pack order. That is not a good thing. All humans need to be top dogs in the pack.
