rude unmannerly behavior should not be confused with real dominance. It can however, develop into a dominance issue if not checked. There are however too many signs of disrespect, both the biting and the humping. There is no way I would tolerate a dog attempting to hump any part of me regardless of age. That a dog would attempt to do so more than once indicates that you have not expressed true outrage sufficiently.

One thing I would seriously suggest is that you quit trying to play with him as if you are a dog. You are not a dog! Get up off the floor and stand tall. If you use a little girly voice - get rid of it. Such a voice and the accompanying body language is not designed to get the respect of any strong-minded pup or dog. Use frontal body positioning, direct eye contact, a voice that carries authority and walk with authority.
