Why Do Dogs Hump?
Your dog humping, or mounting, is an action that is not always sexual in nature. Humping is part instinct and part learned behavior. Most importantly, humping is completely normal for dogs. It only becomes a behavior problem when your dog humps people, upset other dogs by mounting them, or when the humping is excessive.
Having your dog neutered or spayed may help with the problem, this doesnt always solve the issue. Humping can also be a way for the dog to burn off energy or relieve stress. Some dogs bark, some run or jump, and others hump.
Along the same lines, some dogs hump as an attention-seeking behavior or because they are bored. If this is the case, providing them with ample exercise, mental stimulation, and attention when they are not humping should help.
