unusual humping!

[steph_bella]

bella was spayed before she ever had a season she used to hump before that but then i didnt noticed any more untill now!

shes always trying to hump my leg and arm and is always wanting me to rub her 'bits' lol

shes 2 in july just wondered why shes doing this ?

That's odd... I wouldn't allow it... She will probably stop if you tell her no consistently.

I don't allow humping at my house. I know some folks on YT seems to think it is normal,and a show of dominance. I feel like yorkies are supposed to be smart, my male can think of another way to be dominate. When I first got Cleo, he did that to her and it scared her. I corrected him and he stopped immediately.

If I allowed him to continue to hump the puppy I would be embrassed if he did that in front of visitors.

I agree, tell her to stop and eventually she will get the message.

When we first got Lolo (rip baby girl) she was spayed and she would try to hump our little guy but we just told her no no and moved her away for about a week and it all stopped.

This sounds different than the usual humping, if she wants you to rub her private area, I'm guessing she has an infection of some type. Humping is a sign of dominance, and while it doesn't bother me if they are dominant with a stuffed toy, they say you should never allow them to hump a human, a stern no and pushing them away is all you need. Because you say she wants you to rub her little bits, I think you should take her for vet check to see if she has an infection.

Mine hump a stuffed lab puppy but never each other, people, or other animals. I think it is harmless and funny so I don't discourage it.

We feel the same way here. Everything is fair game but us. Dogs do not hump any one thing for long.
Also agreed, seems as if this humping is more an an attempt to relieve an itch or discomfort of some sort.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, in fact, there's no other reason for it on a dog.
