2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Humping can be a result of changing hormone levels. Dogs can "hump" due to hormones, excitement, (not necessarily sexual arousal), boredom, a stress reliever and/or to display dominance. It is an instinctive behavior, it is natural nonetheless.

| My 7 year old has a habit of doing this with those fleece crate beds...I have no idea why, drives me crazy...shes been spayed since 9mos. of age. I no longer use them! Miss Mia my 10 month old doesn't do this ever, but she sure does chew...

| Our female Boxer humped until she got to old and couldn't anymore lol. She actually only humped my husband they would play and thats how she would exert her dominance. As far as the eyes they make wipes or you can use a warm cloth.

| I have owned two female yorkies and both hump. I have owned other females of different breeds and they didn't hump. I think the female yorkies are more inclined to hump than other breeds. |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Eye Goo : I just wet them down and pull them out with my fingers. Or after a bath I use a flea comb they slide right out.

| Calleigh has a favorite dog toy she likes to hump. She only does it once in awhile, when she has to be the boss of someone. Lol.
