| My guess would be that she is trying to exert her dominance over you and be the pack leader. Not sure how you break her of that. How old is she? Is she spayed?

| I think if you tell her a firm "no" (not yelling but firm) and put her down on the floor, she will get the picture pretty quickly. You may need to enforce this from time to time but don't let her get the best of you. You don't want her doing this to others who come to your home. LOL Good luck!!

| She's definitely trying to tell you she's boss! You have to signify that you're HER leader, not the other way around. It'll take time and patience.

| She may just be overexcited.

| Sophie Kate is an arm jumper also, the best thing is to remove her from your arm. If she comes back for more remove her again (like washing your hair lather, rinse and repeat)

| My 9 week old was humping everyone when I first got him LOL I think they're just trying to figure out their place in the pack I would just tell him "No" and he would stop. He doesn't do it anymore, because he knows I am the boss Maybe start some obedience training, just basic commands like sit or down. Everytime she starts humping you, just tell her "No", and then ask her to sit. Mine would stop the humping when I'd tell him "No" but biting my ankles was another issue. He wouldn't back down. So now everytime he bites my ankles, I say "No!" And I make him sit :-) it works! Mine still humps his bed, and big plush toys lol ... He's 12 weeks old

| Just keep telling her no firmly and if she continues put her on the floor. Try and divert her attention with a toy or start some obedience training. Good luck and try not to be too grossed out. It is just normal puppy behaviour
