I'm a guy and I currently have a 4 months old male Boxer. I'm not sure when I can start teaching him to mount me and when it's safe to start, any help?
 
Age:
1. "Adolescence in dogs marks their sexual maturity, usually between 8 and 12 months."
(https://pmcofedmond.com/pet-education/puppy-dog-vet/dog-stages-of-life/)

2. "When Do Puppies Reach Sexual Maturity?
"The timing of sexual maturity is largely size- and breed-dependent. So, talk to your vet and breeder about your puppy. Sexual maturity in puppies typically begins to occur between 6-to-9 months of age, although certain giant breeds may not reach sexual maturity until they are older."
(https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/sexual-maturity-in-puppies-what-to-expect/)

3. "Sexual Maturity. The onset of sexual maturity (puberty) is triggered by hormonal changes that lead to physical and behavioral changes. Generally speaking, puppies will start to mature sexually between 7 and 10 months of age."
(https://www.guidedog.org/PuppyRaising/PuppyRaiserManual/CareAndHealth/Sexual_Maturity.aspx)

Generally speaking you should not attempt to masturbate a dog until he is sexually mature. You should wait for the dog to show sexual behavior like interest in female dogs and mounting/humping.
 
Puppies will also mount / hump as part of play and learning. Female dogs will hump too. The common advice is to wait until 1.5 years for males.

How can he know if it's sexual humping?
