SPAYED DOG HUMPING

Question
MY DOG WAS SPAYED AT 6 MONTHS AND LATELY WHEN WE ARE PLAYING SHE JUMPS ON MY ARM AND HOLDS TIGHT AND STARTS TO HUMP IT?  WHY  WOULD SHE DO THAT IF SHE IS SPAYED.

Answer
Much of the humping is about dominance, not sex.  Spay/neutering reduces it, but doesn't eliminate it.  The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts.  Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog.  Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones.  You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.
