I have a black lab that always tries to hump our chiwauwau, and an english bulldog that always tries to hump the lab. By the way, the chiwauwau is the only female. Any way to stop this dirty, dog-porn behavior?

Its likely a dominance struggle. They will stop it on their own once they decide who the leader is. If it bugs you just tell them no, or carry a spray bottle with water in it and give them a squirt when they start while saying No in a firm voice. Most of the time this behaviour only lasts a week or so before they stop on their own.

It's not a sexual thing. But a dominance thing. Your dogs are establishing a pecking order among themselves with in the pack. You may also start to witness some snapping and growling. But as long as they are not trying to hurt each other? Rest assured it's a very normal thing. BUT!! If they start to display this behavior with you? This is a problem. If this happens simply Alpha roll them on the floor until they submit and it will stop. But I don't think this is the case. Because if it was they would already tried this since they are doing it to one another. All they are doing is establishing a pecking order among themselves. To help stop? Simply give them a stern"NO" whenever they display this behavior. Your presents and disapproval as the dominant alpha leader of the pack will be enough to make them stop. You will have to repeat this several time before they completely stop this behavior. Occasionally they will try to repeat this behavior. Be consistent with the corrections.

Ok, Is your female fixed? If not you lab is smelling her in heat. Is she is fixed then its a dominace issue. It will be an issue with all three. My other question to help you is just cause one tries does not mean sex. So Does the mounted resist? If so then its a dominace thing. It sounds like from the beginning since the bulldog doesnt try to mount the " ankle biter" lol.
They are setting a social order. A pack. And in this you mus be the leader.

it extremely is unquestionably a typical occurence in male canines... that's a domination component. The 'humping' as all of us call it - is particularly like in a wolf p.c.. - there's a pacesetter, and that's the way the canines be certain who's greater dominant. if there's a persevering with 'combat' over who's greater dominant, this might proceed. sounds like the two canines have good personalities and choose directly to be the alpha canines.

I way always told it is one dog trying to assert dominance over the other dog. Or that they are playing. No doggie porn though. My dog used to try to hump my husband and I, we bought a little squirt gun and everytime she tried it, someone would squirt her with water. Worked pretty well. Now she just humps the curtains :-)

LOL
We call it "puppy-porn" at our house. It is about top dog rather than sex. Meaning: they all want to be the alpha and are trying to sort out their heirarchy. Figure out which dog they all groom (I'm betting it is the Chihuahua) and you'll know who your top dog is.
