They do this to display their dominance over an object, whatever it be.

Answer"For they know what they do"! It's natural and even two female dogs will do the same thing. I usually grunt "no" and my dog stops. I've had two dogs and one cat all in a row and I deemed it "The Hula Parade." After laughing myself into a frenzy I gave that low grunt (as a trainer told me to do to show displeasure) and they stopped. Although funny it could be embarrassing if they did it when children or adult company was around.

When a dog (male or female) mounts anyone's leg, it usually is not sexual in nature, but dominance. Female dogs will mount female dogs, male dogs, a woman's leg, a man's leg, a small child, and even a stuffed animal. To correct this behavior, gently remove the dog from the leg, stuffed animal, whatever, and tell it NO in a firm tone. The intent is to let the dog know the behavior is inappropriate, not to scare it.

Dogs hump for dominance and control. Your dog needs to be spayed.

Dogs hump most of the time to establish dominance. Female dogs will also use the humping action to try and establish dominance over another dog

Because they, like any other animal in existence, get horny and hump anything in sight. My Mum's boyfriend as an example.

Generally this is a sign of dominance. Yes, I know, over a toy.

Because it's lesbian

Actually, your dog is masterbating. It is a natural thing for female dogs. Here is a link for you: http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/guide/mounting-masturbation-dogs

because they need a man ,and want babies

They like to.

female dogs often hump eachother in a playing way not sexually usually when their on heat.

That is a show of dominance and it should not be tolerated. Make it clear with a firm "no" from both the kid and you that it is unacceptable. All family members need to be dominant over the dog.

Dog's live in a pack, and rather than having to kill each other to express dominance, they use various other methods. From nudging, growling and nipping, to all out humping.

Humping another dog is their way of saying "You are mine, will do as I say, or else."

Mounting is not necessarily about sex when it comes to dogs. In most cases (neutered males and females) this behaviour is linked to hormonal influences still present within brain chemistry. It is very common and is within the normal range of behaviour for a male and sometimes female dog.

It can be part of play, sometimes rough play and can be an attempt to gain access to the best resource on offer (the most suitable mate, and so on).

A dog can easily be trained not to 'hump' with rewarding training methods.

On occasion it can be as a result of a urinary tract infection so it may be worth getting this checked out.

The 'dominance' approach is very outdated and there is little scientific proof to support this theory. It has been refuted even by its initial proposer, David Mech.

You should always consult a qualified and accredited dog trainer or behaviour consultant for expert help and advice. Your Vet can recommend one and your pet insurance policy should cover the cost.

The dog does it to show dominance, to show it's the boss. It can happen vice versa too.

well maybe the dog are in heat

This is how dogs show their dominance towards each other. The dog that does this is the alfa dog

She would hump the other female to show dominance. This is a dog's way of saying, "I am the dominant one here!"

to assert dominance

Mine do that. If one or both aren't fixed it could be a sexual thing, but if they're fixed like mine then apparently it's related to dominance. The one who humps figures she is or should be the boss and is trying to tell your other dog that.

Female dogs will also hump other female dogs, or anything else. Male to male also. Dog humping is not always a sexual thing. It is often a symbol of dominance, thus why you may see a dog hump another dogs face while playing.

Dogs of any sex will hump another to show dominance over the other dog. It has nothing to do with sex, hormones, or pleasure. Simply dominance.

Humping in this way by females is a sign of dominance over othher dogs. Male dogs also mount other dogs (male or female) in the same way for the same reasons.

Dogs "hump" for the same reason that human males would if they could get away with it! It feels good. Male dogs rub their penis against things because they like the way it feels. Of course, if there is a female dog in heat who will agree to have sex with them, they prefer that.

Can a male dog hump a female dog and still penetrate if they are both fixed?

Yes. Only the testicles on the male have been removed, not the penis. Penetration will still happen, as the male dog can still maintain an erection. There is just no sperm production. Indeed, neutered male dogs can maintain an erection, penetrate a female and actually achieve orgasm, and will "tie" with the female. Most neutered males are less interested in sex due to lowered testosterone levels, but still capable of all the actions. They simply do not produce sperm and cannot impregnate a female.
