Im Curuious But Paranoid ...dog Humping

[dieseldick]

a male friend of the family comes in to our house, our pet chihuahua constanly whines and moans then tries to hump his leg.

she does not behave like this with someone else.

bordering on funny , confusion & slightly paranoid

There can be many reasons for that behaviour not all of them sexual in nature.

Yes, females do it too LB.

//mounting is common play behavior in puppies, and is even normal in the play of older dogs if it’s not taken to extremes. “You’ll often see one dog mount another, then a few minutes later they’ll switch off and the other dog will mount the first dog,” Landsberg says. “It’s a common play gesture.”

It’s done by males and females, even by dogs that have been neutered or spayed, he says. “It’s a play behaviour that dogs do because no one has told them it’s not acceptable,” //

yep !!!

i done some googling, apparentley if a dog has been abused/ beaten or feels intimidated they will hump the leg of anyone who they feel threatened by ? i will look for the link..
main reason for my concern is that my daugher told me last year that her older brothers friends were kicking / abusing / shouting at this dog . i wouldnt like this to be happening again when im not around to take car of her.
