An intact dog (not spayed or neutered) may hump other dogs due to hormones and sexual attraction. When both dogs are intact, they usually end up mating, so you need to keep intact dogs of the opposite sex separate if you don't want that to happen. Humping is a normal part of dog play behavior. It's not unusual to see a dog try to initiate play with another by humping or to see humping as part of wrestling. Some dogs may hump other dogs to assert dominance, but according to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, this is rare. Some dogs who hump to subdue others may also display signs of aggression. Puppies often mount and hump their littermates, other playmates, people and toys. Some experts believe that this behavior functions as practice for future sexual encounters. In intact dogs (dogs who have not been spayed or neutered), mounting and humping other dogs can happen due to sexual arousal or a sincere interest in mating. Even females may hump while in heat. Some dogs masturbate by humping.
