| is she fixed? with the presenting herself thing it sounds like like a dog in heat. Yumi had her 1st heat before we got her fixed and she was a crazy humpy little dog if a toy, pillow, or blanket was big enough she humped it. She still humps my mom's dog teddy occasionally, but just when they're playing and she decides to show him who's boss lol. If she's fixed she's probably just dominating the toy. |

| It's not sexual it is dominance over the new puppy. Just tell her no and offer a treat or toy as a diversion.

| If shes old enough to go into heat, it could go either way. Yumi didn't start the backing up thing until right before she went into heat, but thats not to say other dogs don't. I'd just keep an eye on her if you think it might be possible. |

| Why is she not spayed? You have a male puppy now so this could present a huge issue in the future.

| I was told dominance too. My Mikki has been spayed but she still humps. We don't allow it so she humps my office chair. lol. I guess it's the only thing she can dominate here.

| Gizmo used to hump everything from toys to cats and even once to my embarrassment a small child lol. Once I got him fixed, he has pretty much stopped humping and only does it to a toy maybe once a month now :-) |

| Humping is not always dominance. In fact, most of the time it's not. Rather, it’s often a social behavior OR even a stress reliever. Humping other dogs can be about dominance, control, etc. Usually younger pups, it’s about play and social learning. A dog can easily get overstimulated during play. Overexcitement, etc is often a cause of humping. Jackson has never humped another dog, a human, a leg, lol, anything. When he's super wound up and excited, he will come running into my room and start humping his teddy bear for fun, LOL. I am being completely serious too when I say that dogs... masturbate. True story! lol. There’s no real harm in it, as long as the objects used are reasonably appropriate (say, a washable stuffed animal that belongs to the dog instead of... your couch cushions or something). Of course make sure it doesn't become an obsession either. If it's causing harm to your dog in any way or they're so overly concerned about it, you will need simply remove the objects and do some behavior modification. But otherwise, I don't see the big deal.
