is it normal???

hiya i was just wondering if its normal for a bitch to hump? amber always humps buster... he doesnt like it though lol she has even tried to hump my leg before.. just curious if this is normal? thanls

It is normal and a sure sign of dominance/coming into season. If she isn't coming into season then it is dominance.
I'd prevent it if possible as it can be seen as a challenge to other dogs which will lead to fights and arguments which i am sure you do not want.
Tried mounting you.... thats very disrespectful indeed.

oh right she has not that long ago been on her season though? well few months now ? yes i do stop her straight away as buster snaps at her when she tries it thanks for replying though

If it has been a few months since her season then its must be dominance, she is trying to find out where she stands in your pack and how far she can push other members of the pack.

oh right well its the only sort of dominence ive seen from her when i take her for walks shes submisive with most dogs we go past so seems strange...

Interesting, there was this one dog where I used to work that Moo would see all the time. It was kinda a rat fluffy girl thing. 2 years older than Moo. She would try and hump Moo all the time, in a pub that isn't pretty Eventually after a few monthe moo started to try and hump her! Always thought she just fancied girls

oh god i havnt got a girl loving dog have i? lol hopefully she will grow out of it like u said its not good in public lol just doesnt seem right for the bitch to hump lol

Ha ha Janey,

I wondered this aswell, but Lola humps her teddy not another dog.

That actually made me lol - my 3 female dogs all used to do that, my border terrier had an old hot water bottle she used to do it with and my staff used to try it on anyone mostly my brother when he was lying on the floor watching tv. My other staff used to try it when she was excited I remember my kids were fooling around with my dad on the floor and the dog started humping his leg so funny!!

It's quite common for a bitch to hump other dogs, it isn't just a male thing! Claire's right, it mainly dominance and should be stopped if possible because it could lead to arguments. It also isn't nice for other people.

Dempsey's best friend is a GSD bitch, and she tried to hump him when she was a bit younger - Dempsey was having none of it, and it was the first & only time he ever snapped at her. Mind you, she learnt her lesson & never tried it again!

Definately sounds like dominance. Tank got in his only arguement because of dominance. Should definately be stopped if it occurs again. From first hand witnessing, i know other dogs sometimes dont like it! Haha. Tank used to do it to his bed so he could dominate that haha.
