and headbutting and generally launching himself onto me. He finds it all rather funny, but it isnt. He also does this to the dog (poor, long suffereing mutt). But he doesnt really do it to anyone else.
So why me and the dog?
and how can I get him to stop? I used to ignore it, that had no effect. Generally I remove him and distract him (with him not getting any extra attention from me for the hitting), but the message isnt getting through. When he persists (ie me moving, but him continuing to hit me despite distraction), I have tried warning him then putting him on the settee, but this 'time out' doesnt work either as he finds it hilarious.
Any ideas please?
