Rosie and Lillie both humps Sammie my cat. Poor Sammie just stands there with a funny look on his face. Like, are you finished yet????? I tell them no but they still do it every day. People that come to my house thinks it is the funniest thing they have ever seen. Me. I do not even notice it any more. |
Yep -- its a dog thing, not a male thing. My female dachshund used to hump pillows like crazy. Drove me crazy. I would take them gently away and try to redirect her attention to play with a toy, but she would just go back to it another time. She would look at me so guilty while she continued to do it, like "I can't help myself, I'm sorry!" My Jack Russell has done it to a toy or two but she has never had the "habit" like my late dachshund did. Both were spayed before they ever had a litter. |
Roxie humps her bed and the cat. Go figure, but once I notice what she is doing , I make her stop...I too think its dominance. But its funny because she does not bark alot,etc she seems so laid back to want to be dominant..lol..And the sad thing is that the cat lets her do it..omg..these crazy animals |
Its dominance not sexual. Poppy has humped her stuffed toys twice, I was worried at first too and was totally checking out her girly bits to make sure she wasnt a boy LOL! Having her spayed wont make a difference because shes not doing it for sexual reasons. :) |
Penny only humps my husbands arm. She won't hump me. I wonder if that means Penny see's my husband as more dominant than I. |

But it is true, it's a dominance thing. My golden retriever used to try to hump the cat as well... although as you can imagine it didn't work so well. :rolleyes: As long as they are not humping my guests I don't mind! ;) |
Humping isn't always about dominance. Like barking, it can serve many purposes: - It feels good. - It's relaxing. - In the right circumstances, it makes puppies. - It can be a deplacement activity, like sniffing. In this case, it relieves social anxiety. This site has a bunch of good articles on humping, and dog behavior in general. Humping is Normal, Yet Rude and Lewd | Dog Star Daily |
OK, so Macy doesn't need a therapist. She only likes my lower leg when I'm laying on the floor and she can sit on it. She gets this look on her face like she can't understand why I move my leg and not let her get her workout in. I try not to make a big deal out of it and make her quit but she doesn't seem to be letting up. She only does this to me, not my dh. |
sadie has recently started to mount her brother. she used to kinda sorta mount up on a leg if you were sitting on the potty with ur legs crossed she's mount the leg that's swinging. she didn't hump just mounted it. i don't allow her to do that anymore but since having her brother she will mount up on him all the time. she'll kinda rub at him but doesn't fully hump him. she will mount his side, his head, his back, anything to show she's above him...i just let her play because he doesn't seem to care that she's the boss of him.:rolleyes: |
my little girl beau, she humps my dh, i say to him that she is the boss over you, she even jumped up on the back of sofa and grabbed his mum round the neck, humped away and she could nt get her off,[ and she is a christian, cud u imagin]:eyetearss |
girls humping Belle does it to my DH when she wants to play. He always looks at me like WTH? I told him it was a dominance thing and she is letting him know that he IS going to play with her. She also lifts her leg when she pees on her pee pad. I think our girls are being liberated!:rolleyes: |
