Dog humping can be funny for some people but not so for others.

The behavior should not be encouraged when they start humping peoples legs.
To stop this behavior you can roll up a newspaper and smack your dog on the nose with the newspaper when he starts to hump your leg.

Smack your dogs nose with the newspaper and tell him that that behavior is not tolerated. Eventually all you'll have to do is just bring out the newspaper and he will stop humping your leg.

This newspaper trick works with other bad dog behaviors as well and is not harmful nor animal abuse.

You can also get a spray bottle and put water in it and squirt your dog with water in the face and tell him to stop humping your leg.

If you laugh at this behavior then it encourages the dog and he'll think it's okay to hump your leg and it's not acceptable behavior for a dog to hump your leg and should not be encouraged.
