I love Aussies they’re my favorite.
My current boy was like this as a puppy although not often, I never deterred him from humping me, even around others. It was easy for me to see when he was about to so I could easily distract him before he tried on others so they would never even know they were about to get humped, and I would just kind of playfully push him off of me if he tried around other people. If they happened to notice him try anything with me and they said something I would have no problem explaining to them that that’s normal in dogs and it usually doesn’t mean anything sexual, never when it comes to puppies. It also isn’t necessarily dominance, again very unlikely in puppies. Depending on the situation I might explain it’s probably just over excitement or maybe stress but usually it would be during play. And it’s a normal part of play at that age not to mention they also use it as a way to explore/discover the world around them. So there’s nothing wrong with it and no reason to discipline them for it.
Everyone that’s important in my life usually just takes my word whenever I say anything to do with dogs because they know that I know more about dogs than they do and they know I love them a lot, just not how much lol. I’m the go to person with the people in my life when it comes to any kind of nonemergency dog care that doesn’t involve medication/vaccines.
I have never had a problem with it, even now. I can easily tell when he’s feeling frisky and I can distract him or if that doesn’t work, take him in to private and either let him calm down or usually, if possible, let him have his way with me. He also wants to hump my nephew that’s about his size every once in a while, but he never has because I always notice him before it happens and call him over to me.
