Yes! Thank you for saying this. I agree it is unacceptable. Natural yes, but they need to learn never to do it. So many times I have seen people say oh it is ok just push them away it is natural. But many things a dog does are natural to them and we do not accept it in our world...biting and nipping, relieving themselves anywhere, marking, chewing our furniture, jumping on guests that come to their "den"...all ok in the dog world, not in ours. They learn manners to fit in and the humping thing is no different. A very strong scolding just a few times and they will stop. Also do not give them anything to play with that is big enough to mount. Keep all toys really small. Nothing bigger than there head (when wet!).
