Often, during courtship,
females in heat mount and hump their male «suitors.»
Not exact matches
It might reduce her motivation to hump other dogs, especially if she only
mounts when she's
in heat or when she's around other
female dogs
in heat.
Unless the animal being
mounted is a
female in heat and / or the
mounting dog is an intact male, the
mounting is probably a display of dominance.
Females in heat must also be kept away from all males, this means the
female must not be allowed unsupervised access to anywhere she could come get
mounted by a male.
NOTE: when a
female dog is
in heat and is
mounted by a male dog, it's likely not play, but breeding.
