Answer 1

Your dog is becoming a woman. Sit her down and have that 'special' talk with her. She's at that age.

Answer 2

Getting her spayed will have a very good chance of stopping the behavior.

If it still continues, then tell that that it is inappropriate behavior (ack, ack), and stop her from doing it with her collar or a drag lead. If she continues and will not stop, then say time-out and remove her to a time-out area (a safe but boring room, e.g. laundry room). Leave her in there for a couple of minutes and let her out. If she starts up again, non-mark her (ack, ack), and say time-out and put her back in time-out. This time lengthen the duration to about 10-15 minutes. Note that if your dog stops the bad behavior, make sure to praise her a lot and give her good treats. Keep this up and your dog will learn that certain behaviors get her rewards while others get her into a boring room with nothing to do.

Answer 3

spay your dog that will stop it

Answer 4

some female dogs just do that. my siberian used to do that to my other dogs. its usually a sign of dominance when they do it to other dogs. theres nothing wrong with her. you should really get her spayed though. if she isn't it can cause serious problems when shes older. she'd live a healthier, longer life if she was spayed. (my siberian was spayed... altered dogs still hump things if its a behavioral thing)

two people answering

sydney:if you wish the extra money spent,you can buy a male dog and allow her to have puppies,but if you don't want her to have puppies,GET HER SPAYED!if you do neither,her behavior will probably not stop.it is your choice.there is a small chance it will go away as she gets older,but that chance is very slim.if the male dog you buy is fixed then the behavior will not stop.

Lauren: I believe that a dog is allowed to mate if her behavior sends the message to you that she wants to, but it is up to you totally. You could get a male dog, and risk having puppies. If the male dog you get is fixed, the behavior will continue if the dog really wants to have puppies. If you don't want to take a risk, the last resort would be getting her spayed, but that is A FINAL RESORT!!!!!!!
