If a dog is humping objects or people, then dominance can be ruled out as a cause. People who espouse the theory suggest that dominant dogs mount other dogs as mounting is an indicator of status. However, other proponents of the theory state that dominant dogs are confidant, relaxed and don’t need to display such behaviours to assert themselves. What should we do about it?

If you think your dog may become aggressive if you stop him from mounting other dogs, people or objects, do not attempt to do so. Instead, consult a qualified professional, such as a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB or Associate CAAB) or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist (Dip ACVB). If you can’t find a behaviorist in your area, you can seek help from a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT), but be sure to determine whether she or he has professional training and extensive experience successfully treating aggression. This type of expertise isn’t required for CPDT certification. Please read our article, Finding Professional Behavior Help, for information about finding one of these experts in your area.
