Humping is a very common behavior. You are far from alone in having a hump-loving dog. And, despite appearances, it’s not necessarily sexually motivated. Often, humping has nothing to do with sex. Very often, humping is an attempt at dominance. This can apply whether it’s a human or another dog on the receiving end. Sometimes, it’s a sign that the dog is stressed, overstimulated, or acting out. Brief moments of humping between dogs can be a normal part of play. For instance, while running and playing, dogs might take turns mounting each other in a harmless expression of excitement.

Humping is a totally natural and instinctive behaviour for both male and female dogs. Mounting and humping is a normal behaviour for dogs, but if it happens regularly, it can be quite disruptive and undesirable. Never punish your dog for humping – it’s a normal and natural behaviour for them, so they won’t understand why you’re telling them off. If it doesn’t happen often and doesn’t bother you, it may not need addressing. Some of the most common triggers include: Sexual – it’s perfectly normal for unneutered dogs to want to hump due to their hormones. Humping is something both male and female dogs do, and despite popular belief, it’s not always sexually motivated. Some hump other dogs, some hump people, and others hump their toys and blankets.
