    I just need to know if this is where we are these days...

    So, this past week, I had the pleasure of taking my family on a fabulous vacation to Myrtle Beach, which is completely beside the point of my problem.

    While there, we went to my wife's cousin's house for dinner, which was wonderful, at a minimum. Here's the conundrum I'm facing: they had a dog... six months old, with a "humping" problem. If a human being stood still, he humped it. End of story. Me... yes. My wife... yes. My 2 year old son... with fervor.

    Their solution to the problem was a squirt bottle. Yes, like the bottle 409 or Windex (copyrights, both) comes out of. "If he humps you, squirt him". Heard it all night. He was incessant. And by incessant, I mean exhausted from humping folks (20 people there).

    What I did to make him stop was against their "rule", but extremely effective... I hit him in the face. I walked out of the bathroom with my son (again, 2) and daughter (4), and he commenced to town, as it were. Had we been perras, I feel certain there would be puppies running freely about my house. So I struck him with vigor.

    He never even looked at us again. Humped several other folks the rest of the evening, but we were off limits.

    Which raises a couple of questions:

    1) was I wrong for striking another man's dog?

    2) is the squirt bottle thing a normal deal these days? We always beat or shot our dogs into submission (of course, I jest, but it makes for a fine story...)

    I encourage my friends to discipline my dog when she is out of line...

    Which is never because she's perfect

      I don't think there was an issue I would of done the same thing. I can't stand when dogs jump on me and specially when you have little kids .

      Squirt bottle only works on cats

          Hump him till he pees. I raise hounds and don't tolerate a dog that will jump up on anyone. After a few backflips they learn that it is not okay to put their feet up on anyone. Knees to the ribs can be very convincing.

              When peoples dogs jump, hump or try to bite I will correct them (knock the snot out of em) after they do it more than once and the owners don't correct. IMO you did nothing wrong.

                I am against animal abuse but in the event that a dog tries to make a mess on my Luchese boots, I would not hesitate to hit him in the face. No amount of Cesar Millan "dog whispering tactics" compares to a swift blow to the head or hind quarters. They learn real quick, what not to do!

                    Definitely wrong. You should have sent the dog to time out or take away his television privileges and if that doesn't work, do the ultimate and take away his iPhone.

                    It works so well with kids, it must work with dogs.

                        I'm not a fan of unnecessary discipline.. That being said, my dogs learn real quick in the puppy stage what right and wrong is. I would've done the same thing

                          1) No.

                          2) If so, then more people need to review the correct answer to #1.

                            The short answer is NO you were not wrong.
                            It is real simple either you control you dog or I will.

                              I'm reminded of the story of the man coming over to Mrs Rudolph's house and her pet monkey keeps placing his wiener in the guest's ear with a humping action. When the man protests, Mrs Rudolph replies, "This is his house *****, you just visitin'....."
