Maybe she needs a teddy.

Another suggestion, is you need to establish dominance with her, she isn't respecting you. One of the ways to do this is to ask her to sit before you place her food bowl down. Have her sit, and stay before you put the food down. Once you set the food down, have her stay a couple of seconds before you give the release command. If she goes for the food before the command is given, pick up the bow, and keep repeating this until she stays for a few seconds. Each time you feed her do this, this will help teach her that you are to be respected.


I agree correct this behavior immediately, it is not sexual, it is not funny, it is a sign that the dog feels you are inferior, and it is BAD behavior

Start doing things to let the dog know that you are in charge. Walk towards them and make them back up, make them sit before you feed thm, eat in front of them and don't let them have any.

And don't give them toys to hump. this is like any other bad behavior, it needs to be corrected.
