Daniel Fernando Webboard User Reg: 05-21-2010 Posts: 106 Loc: Philadelphia, PA - US Offline	Eva is 3 years old Pitbull Boston Terrier mix. I got her since she was 1 years old and she already spayed / neutered. I caught her humps my pillow couple times. Today is the 6th time I caught her humping my pillow and when she know tat I watch her, she feels ashamed (not guilty). So why Eva humps my pillow?

As Willie said, she probably wasn't feeling ashamed about getting caught fluffin' the pillows. Besides the point. Doesn't matter. I don't know why she was doing it. Probably doesn't matter, either. Close the door to the room. Teach her to stay off the bed.

Ross Rapoport Webboard User Reg: 07-24-2010 Posts: 421 Loc: Offline	That's good specific advice, but the OP is probably concerned about the fact that a spayed female dog is humping anything at all! I've only seen one other Female dog do this, and it was a Pit/Boston mix as well.

Willie Tilton Webboard User Reg: 01-27-2010 Posts: 773 Loc: Offline	I have been told that this behavior is displaced dominance. It often happens with a lower ranking pack member..they don't have anyone to dominate so they pick an object..a pillow or stuffed animal. I have also seen a dog do this to an owner's possessions when the dog does not feel they they can get away with dominating the person. I have been told these are the reasons...I do not know this as fact..but since its just me and Michael I thought I would offer it up. If anyone knows different please speak up. Do what Michael said..teach her to stay off the bed and shut the door.

When they spayed her they didn't cut off the part that hits the pillow. The wiring for them and us isn't all THAT different...... Tell her no and be done with it. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

If not, and this doesn't raise any concerns with you medically, I'd stick with what I wrote earlier. Dog's hump stuff. It is self rewarding. IMO the best, quickest, easiest way to stop a self rewarding habit is to prevent it from becoming a habit in the first place.
