Most of the time, humping by dogs is done as a sign of dominance, mainly wanting to show whomever they are humping that they are the boss. Sometimes, dogs will hump for a sexual reason. If your dog is intact, sometimes getting them fixed can solve the humping behaviors. However, some dogs do retain those bad behaviors even after they are fixed, and at this point all you can really do is work with your dog to deter them from humping.

Dominance theory was debunked long ago. And, spaying and neutering also doesn't always get rid of the want to hump.

Humping can be a sign of over excitement, stress, anxiety, etc. Redirection to something fun every time your pup starts is the best thing.

Most of the time dogs do this is because it is not fixed and in heat. However, we've neutered our dog and he still has a tendency to hump other dogs/legs. Just start working at training your dog that it is not okay to do that.

He's either showing dominance or wanting attention. Tell him "down" gently push him down every time he does it. Routinely stopping the behavior should help reduce the amount that they do it. Getting them fixed helps as well. Both my dogs stopped humping almost immediately after being fixed!
