Humping is a totally natural and instinctive behaviour for both male and female dogs. Some of the most common triggers include: Play – mounting is common when a dog gets over excited during play. Excitement – if a dog is over excited, or very energetic, mounting and humping can help get rid of excess energy. Humping is something both male and female dogs do, and despite popular belief, it’s not always sexually motivated. Sexual – it’s perfectly normal for unneutered dogs to want to hump due to their hormones. Some hump other dogs, some hump people, and others hump their toys and blankets.
