Personally, I would not let my dog hump ANY dogs. (unless of course, I was actually breeding them)
As my dog's leader,I don't tolerate that behavior within my family pack. By allowing a dog to hump other pack members, I'm telling him that he's the boss. Not me.
Not allowed here, ever.
I would be interested to know exacly how to "not tolerate" this. My dogs try to hump each other and I give a verbal correction and they get off, if not I grab their collars or chase them off. However, they still try it every now and again, usually while playing. I guess this means my "not tolerating" isn't working?

Right. That's what it means. I have one who will still give it a shot when he's riled up, but then he is corrected. It's rare now.
Not allowing a dog to do something means you do what it takes to make them cease & desist.
My dogs would likely only need a "HEY, knock it off" or "YUCK".
Your dogs may need a collar correction...other dogs may just need you to walk over to them and give them the evil eye. It all depends on your dogs and the relationship you have with them.
bottom line, if you have dogs that are trying to hump the other dogs in your family enough that you feel it's a problem then you probably have leadership issues in all areas of the dog's life.
An occasional "hump" once in a while is just dogs being dogs.. but the OP said that her dog was humping her other dogs a lot. It's not a humping issue, it's a respect issue.
I just wanted to clarify what was meant by no tolerance - and also to help the OP see what to strive for in terms of this behaviour and compliance from the dog.
When I correct my dogs verbally they stop immediately most of the time, if they don't I will walk up to them (usually seeing me coming is enough, or I will take their collars and make them get off). Sorry Connie, I misunderstood what you meant. Yes, I definitely correct every time and they don't do it often enough to be a problem, but still try it every now and again.
I definitely try to make it clear to the dogs that I do not, ever, approve of this behaviour.
