Humping is a common word for what veterinarians phone mounting behavior. This is when a dog puts their front legs around another dog and thrusts their pelvis repeatedly (the humping motion).
The mounting conduct can be directed toward the hind end of another dog, the other dog’s head or side, or even toward a person or an object.
Both male and female dogs, whether they are spayed or neutered or not, can perform mounting behavior. So why do dogs hump dogs, people, toys, or even just the air?
