Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 2 months and 4 days old
At what age should I get my puppy fixed? He's just now 9 weeks but he's already "humping" things. Is that normal for that young?

This behavior is very normal. Here is a great link to explain the behavior: https://www.petcoach.co/article/mounting-behavior/ Most dogs should be neutered around 6 months of age. The only exception may be dogs expected to be greater than 75lbs as adults. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
