Why does my Yorkie continue to hump our other pets in our household even though she/he has been spayed/neutered?

Your Yorkie is showing not a sexual behavior but that of dominance. Normally when there is more than one pet in the family and even if all of them are spayed or neutered, one or more of the animals will need to show "who is boss" or dominance over the other(s).

If you begin to see this behavior constantly between your pet(s) or begin to notice this behavior on you or your children a stern "no" should be given to show that this behavior is not allowed. If they are humping your child or a visitor's leg, that should definitely not be tolerated. Try shaking coins in a tin can when they show such behavior to scare them into not humping.
