I have a shepoo mix and after we have a game of soccer she will run to a special pillow I have and hump it and I have one male friend and the first time she saw him she ran to the pillow and humped it.

My vet said she is showing dominance. She is so much bigger than he is so it is odd to see. She was in a ver abusive situation before going to shelter. She only jumps my leg and has a liquid discharge that she licks off my foot. I always let her do it because I dont see any harm? My question is could she have something wrong?

Aug Aug 6. Especially female dogs who were spayed as puppies? Harmless mounting here and there by males and females is normal with all dog breeds, but it's important to know when humping behavior might need to be addressed. Whether you call it humping, mounting or thrusting, the behavior is natural in male and female dogs. For some dogs, it is a response to arousal.
For others, it can just be a way to exert dominance and show that they're the top dog in the house. Humping other pets, people or even the living room couch once or twice a day is not considered excessive.
If even the occasional occurrence is bothersome to you or your family members, there are a few things you can do to limit or eliminate this quirky behavior. Pet parents often notice mounting behavior starting about the time a female dog enters her first heat.

The ASPCA recommends teaching the "leave it" command early for all dogs to leave unwanted objects alone. Once your dog knows this command, you can signal to her that she should step away from furniture, other dogs or guests. If you see your dog preparing to mount an object by rubbing, licking or whining , you can say "leave it" and distract your four-legged friend with a toy or a more desirable activity.
Although it may take some time to train your dog to do this, it may be the easiest way to stop unwanted humping. Although dog humping is a normal behavior, there are times it can be sign of other underlying issues.
