| My Dog is Humping Everything in Sight ... I gave her a stuffed zebra striped bear and it's about her length. Ever since she started playing with it now she humps everything and it's really embarrassing. She's spayed and about 1.6 years old they said. I can't even extend my arm out to pet her because, well, you know. Please tell me she'll grow out of it. She also bumps her butt up with you pet along her back. It's like she's in heat, but they swore that she was spayed when I adopted her and she also has the stitches in her belly, but they could be from the umbilical hernia she had when they found her and fixed that too. Is this normal? |

| I'm not sure if its normal but to me it sounds like a heat thing. I'm not very experienced but it sounds like she's in heat. |

| It is usually a dominance thing... The stuffed animal is really all she can dominate in life... so she is being the boss

| Coco is a spayed 2 year old and has this circular dog bed which she humps like a jackhammer!!! (she humps it in a circle too, soo strange!) It's the ONLY thing she humps and if i take it away for a few mts and give it back to her, she will remember it, run up to it and hump it!! I now call it her, "stress reliever pillow" LOL |

| haha you would think she thought she had all the dominance in the world. she tried to go after a doberman at the pet store the other day. thank goodness he was well trained and she was on a leash and held. lol she tried when i was scratching her belly one day and i said no way, not gonna happen so she went back to the zebear. |

| Humping is nothing more than bad behavior, and sholuld be treated as such. Tell her no and remove the obgect. If she is humping YOU, she is dominating you and you need to establish yourself as the pack leader. Some ways to do this. Make her wait befor you allow her to eat. I set the food down and keep pushing them away saying WAIT, untill they stop trying to go after it. Then I tell them OK. Also pretend to eat from the bowl first. Pack leaders always eat first. Another thing is to walk toward her preventing her from getting past you, make her back up. You can also check for solutions on Cesars website. Welcome to Cesar Millan's Official Web Site | Cesar Millan And if anyone tries to tell you it should be allowed. Just picture a gereat dane humping the arm of your sofa. No one would allow that.

| My little one has not been spayed yet. She will be six months old this month but the vet said she was too small yet to be fixed. She is doing the same thing. I just assumed it was normal behavior and I ignored it. Didn't say anything to her and she stopped. She has a bunch of toys but she seems to like her bear the best. So I just say "that's her boyfriend" if anybody is around. LOL>>>>> They are so small, I guess they have to be "over" something!!! |

| Bad Behaviour! Humping is a dominance thing. In order to be the pack leader, you MUST have control of ALL the things that dogs do, naturally... 1. Hunt 2. Kill 3. Eat 4. Sleep 5. Breed 1-3. Are easy, we provide the food,and allow them to eat it, after they are given the OK. Wait, then ok... 4. Also easy, that is the getting on the sofa or bed after being invited. 5. The dominant dog (in this case the human) controls the breeding. The other dogs, are challenged. I say STOP, and do not remove the item. Repeat as necessary. Some people think it is cute, but it is part of a slippery slope...

| Yes, and I think I have messed up big time with Jazzi....we thought it was so cute for her to run up her little stairs to get on the sofa, then across daddy's end table, across his lap, across mamma's end table and into my lap. She does it now when I go to sit in my recliner. For you more experienced folk who don't mind me asking....how do I make her stop now? She doesn't think anything of it because we thought it was so cute. I can barely tell her "no" about anything. She is very spoiled and I did that for sure....so did dad....but oh my gosh...she has us both wrapped around all four tiny little paws!!!! |

Make sure you and hubby are on the same page... first and foremost! Choose what one thing you want to assert on first, and do it. (I recommend one thing at a time... only so you don't feel like you are always correcting her ... and not enjoying her, and so you don't RUIN HER LIFE...lol) Be consistent! Than add another. For running up on the sofa... who ever can catch her first, set her on the floor, have her sit, and wait to be invited. You have to do it every time, until she makes the association, that starting over is the result of jumping up, un-invited. If you want to, and are consistent, you can do it!

Thor's Human Donating Member | Opinions vary humping. IMO, humping is not a dominance thing, it is a pleasure thing, but the humpee has to tolerate it. If it's a dog, the humped dog shows submission by tolerating the humping. Stuffed animals generally do not express themselves a lot, so they get humped as needed. Plenty of people here have dogs with a favorite hump toy, but do not tolerate being humped themselves. Personally, I believe that humping is harmless fun for your dog, so if it doesn't gross you out, there is no problem allowing it, as long as it is directed towards appropriate objects, preferably objects that can be put away when there is company. |
