http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/humping_i_really_dont_get_it-58230 Ok...I have never brought this up to ask anyone for advice because I like to just tell myself its just general dog stuff...But this is confusing me more...Okay, lemme start: My dog, Bella, is three years old. I got her Feb 2011 and in March 2011, we got her spayed. Even since then, there are moments when she will "hump" against myself or my mother. We tell her no or push her off and she stops. That has seemed to end, now she seems to only do it still near my 3 yr old nephew. He is about the same size as her. But just now, at like 1 am, she was asleep on her ottoman beside me and started doing it in her sleep!!!! I mean....This is beyond my general dog knowledge and I have to say, kinda embarrassed to go to my friends to ask...I mean...Is this a normal thing? I mean, I know humping is but in her sleep?? I've never even heard of that! Please let me know :( Asked by Belladonna en-us Copyright Dogster 2013 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:55:24 GMT Tue, Jun 18th 2013, 14:55 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Dogster.com dogsters@dogster.com dogsters@dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/humping_i_really_dont_get_it-58230#answer-162322 It can also be a sign of dominance. She is trying to find out who she can dominate and who not. I would teach every person in your house to tell her no and not let her be "the master." As for humping in her sleep she may be just excited.. if it spreads to humping furniture you might ask the vet if there is a supplement you can give her. Also, make sure she is getting plenty of exercise as this will help burn off energy and help the hormone levels under control.
