why the heck is our FEMALE 5 month old boxer humping my husband and ONLY my husband?
I thought only male dogs did such a thing. Is she old enough to be having those type of feelings?

No, dominant female dogs also hump. She is humping your husband because she is trying to establish dominance over him. She sees you as the leader and your husband as a weaker member of the pack. Your husband needs to take a more active role in her training, perhaps he needs to walk her more and teach her commands to let her know who's boss. She will stop once she knows he is boss. In the meantime he should push her off and assume a position of dominance, over her. Then give her the down command which is a great display of dominance. I make my dog/puppy lie down for 7 seconds before I give them their food bowl.

its probably some times its a alpha dog thing.she may just trying to be the dominate dogIts not a bad or nasty thing like a human might think tell your dog no bad dog.wait 7 more month and get her a male dog.If that dont work have your husband pour some hot sauce on his pants or when she does it pour the hot souse on her tong

She is trying to assert dominance over your husband.

Discourage this behavior by scolding the puppy sternly.
