Dominance and 'pecking order' is very important to dogs... In the dog universe, there's no such things as 'equals'. Everybody is either above or below someone else in relative status.

'Humping' another dog (or cat, or person, or furniture) is one of many ways a dog might show that his (or her) status is higher than the humpee's status... And status is so important that this behavior is very common in play, as well.

Because of this, though, any time your dog humps your leg, you shouldn't allow it... Growl them down with a quick, sharp warning that you are the one in charge. It doesn't need to be much... A serious sounding "No!" or "Back off!" should do it.

On the other hand, of course, with the two dogs, it -might- be a mating behavior. :-)
