I have a 2 year old mix who is spayed. we got her spayed around the right time. This sounds very wierd but it is very true. Please help me. She humps everything that is in front of her abot her size, and she is not a male!!!! I think that something is very wrong with her insides. She even humps my blankets. Any Ideas???

Mounting is actually a dominating behavior, but actually play to some dogs. Distract her next time to she does it, with a toy or a treat.

Dogs do this as a show of dominance. It is not a "sex thing". I have 2 dogs. My big dog is a Chow mix, male, not neutered. I have a female Manchester Terrier, who is smaller and spayed. The Terrier is more dominant than the Chow (he is very mellow and laid-back). That little female, spayed, Terrier humps the big male Chow whenever she can get away with it!
We try to deter this behavior, because it is, as I said, a dominance thing for them. We are trying to avoid conflict within our family "pack".
There isn't anything wrong with your dog. She is just showing her dominance. If she does it to your leg, you should make her stop. She should not be allowed to be dominant over you. You are the "pack leader".

Humping is a sign of domination, not sexual activity. If your dog humps everything, it's trying to establish dominance. Put her in her place, and don't let her get away with it. If you allow the dog to be dominant over you, you are in for LOT'S of trouble.

Its a dominance thing. Its not sexual. If you want her to stop, you need to be firm and tell her NO. You may need to shake a can of pennies, or whatever works to get her to stop things.
Theres nothing wrong with her physically. She just wants to be top dog in everything. Dogs need to have a pack leader, and that needs to be you. If you let them do everything they want, they will be very dominant.
Hope this helps.

this is so normal! dogs do it even when they are spayed. dont worry, about it too much, but if she humps EVERYTHING then take her to the vet

She is frustrated and trying to show something that she is the dominat being.
Iti s normal and many females do this.
Do not worry just tell her no and move her off the object.

If I were you I would spray her with water from a water bottle and tell her NO. If that doesn't work then....get a new dog?
Good Luck.

lol she's fine...as everyone else said, it' only a dominant behaviour thing...if it bothers you, tell her NO firmly, distract her and move her off of the object...
what i do is allow my dogs to do it to their "special" teddy (one specific stuffed animal) and ONLY that teddy, that way they get the feeling of being boss with something, but not being the boss of me
