How do I stop my dog from humping my cat?
It depends on how much the dog is doing it and how much it bothers the cat. For animals, this kind of behavior is often not a big deal.If they are pals, neither animal is getting hurt, and the cat is not upset by it, I recommend just letting them be.If the mounting is bugging your cat somewhat, you can simply make sure your cat has plenty of raised surfaces to walk on, that are not very far apart, where the dog can’t reach her/him. This way, the cat can avoid being accosted. Cat trees, cabinets, shelves, tops of refrigerators, etc., are as good as floors to a cat.Cats and dogs can mount each other for various reasons. They may have a friendship, and maybe a bit of sex drive. They don’t know about any gender or species behavior rules. It just feels good, to, well… at least one of them. I had a spayed female dog who used to mount our cats once in a while. Then she would sit on them and wash their ears with her tongue. They patiently put up with it, because they loved her.If your dog has a very strong sex drive, and is really bothering your cat, then if he is not neutered, (as Carol Sumilas Boshears suggested) you may want to consider the pros and cons of neutering him.It is also possible that if your cat is female and not spayed, your dog could be responsive to the cat’s behavior and scent when she is in estrus. In that case, if you don’t intend to let her breed and have kittens, spaying her could help to change the behavior.I answered - “How do I stop my dog from humping my cat?”
My Dog Humped By Other Dog After Grooming?
Hi guys. I have two dogs. Mister and Zach. They're both 1 year old boys. Both just got back from grooming and things are getting weird. Zach is OBSESSING over Mister. He's constantly following him. Sniffing him. Sticking his head into Mister's privates. Literally attaching himself to him where ever Mister goes. Mister has snapped at him, but Zach was undeterred. He tried humping Mister several times. He is stalking the poor thing! While Mister was being groomed, Zach stalked the door. Stood on his hind legs in a poor attempt to peer through the glass window to see if he could see him. I found this all cute at first, assuming how attached the two dogs were. But then the "cuteness" became obsessive and now I'm worried. I have been trying my best to keep them apart but when ever I do, Zach just wails! Cries like I've never heard him cry before and then bark. Zach isn't interested in anything but Mister. Not even going potty, unless he really has to, then he'll do it quickly and get back to harassing Mister. Is this normal after grooming? What happened? They were always close but it was never obsessive. Also, I think Mister's "private area" was cut too short because he's constantly licking it and he prefers to sit than stand or walk like he wants that area protected. Every time he has to get up to walk somewhere, he sits every second between walking. What could this be?

Why has my dog been humping and whining?
I have a male, 9 year old dog that has been neutered. For the past couple of weeks I have laid a blanket next to my bed for my dog to sleep on. One day I tried to straighten it the blanket because it was wrinkly, (while my dog was laying on it), he quickly put he paw on the blanket to stop me and started to hump the blanket for about 10 seconds. Afterwords he was whining if he wants a girlfriend or something but know he doesn't have one. But now he has been licking the blanket and gnawing on it while humping it, while whining without me even doing anything to him. I'm afraid my dog I having some problems that seem petty rare because I couldn't find any tiher cases of this particular way with a neutered male dog. Please help!!!

Why does my dog hump me only during my period?
T4A2A, Kathryn.First this: “What” vs. “Why” Questions. by Doug Parker on Non Sequitur Posts.Next, I’ve noticed that dogs—male and female—both show deference to male, human energy. I don’t know what it is that triggers that, but it’s uncanny how consistent it is. Male, human energy is generally submitted to more quickly than to female, human energy. There are always exceptions.Next—and I can go either one of two ways with this:Hormonal, orTraining.Hormonal MusingsDogs get their primary input from their nose. When women are on their period, everything in their bodies is turned topsy-turvy as their bodies prepare the next, temporary home for a possible, new fetus, so who knows what novel scents are being effused from their bodies. Lou Reed sang, “My Love Is Chemical.” IJS.During menses, do we know what scents the female, human body gives off which might trigger certain behaviors in dogs? I doubt it, but the fact that his humping behavior happens every month, it has to hold some water. That’s just simple, basic science.The Training ThingEverything a dog does, it does with the input from its leader.If you don’t do anything, it’s akin to approving it.If you offer positive feedback, of course you’re going to nurture it.If you give negative feedback and get the dog to submit immediately after the negative feedback—and you do it consistently and sufficiently—the behavior, whatever it is, will go away: you’ll extinguish it.So, yes, what I’m saying is he might have been randomly triggered at some time in the past to start the humping, but your negative reinforcement has not been strong or consistent enough—or maybe you’re missing the submission part of it (that’s a whole, different chapter)—to effect the extinguishing of the behavior.
Why does my dog only hump me? I am also the one who walks him, feeds him, and bathes him. He also listens to my commands the most and follows me around.
Thank you for the A2A. Why are you the only one your dog humps? Only your dog know for sure but I have a few theories, based on 30+ years of dog training and observations of thousands of dogs.One possibility is that no other human inspires so much emotional excitement in your dog and he responds to this by humping you.Another possibility is that he is practising good target selection: he senses that if he humped any other human, he'd be at high risk for an unpleasant reaction. For whatever the reason behind the behaviour, most people find it obnoxious. The thing that a dog who is humping wants most is attention, so the most effective response would be to remove your attention.I suggest saying "too bad" in a somewhat sad voice and twist away from your dog, then ignore him for a slooooooow count of three. If he immediately humps you again, say "too bad" in the same tone, then slip through a door or other barrier so your dog cannot reach you (set him up for success). Then return, give him a command he knows well (something simple like sit or down), then give him your enthusiastic praise plus a cookie (if you use treats in training).It will take several repetitions but if you are consistent, he will figure out quickly that humping you just gets him ignored. A dog with a healthy relationship with their owner does not feel good when pointedly ignored by their owner, so they will change their behaviour very quickly to avoid the consequence.
