Is mounting or hu***ng a sign of dominance in dogs?

Hu***ng or mounting is a fixed action pattern (FAP), which are innate behaviours. These are behaviours that are common to all members of a species and require no learning. A Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) is a predictable series and stereotypical sequences of complex actions triggered by a cue - www.simplypsychology.org. www.sciencedirect.com.

Hu***ng or mounting is NOT:
Dominance
Controlling you or another dog
Alpha behaviour
Only seen in unsterilised dogs
Only seen in males
Only seen in younger dogs
To cause you embarrassment
To get your attention or get back at you

Hu***ng or mounting by male or female dogs of any age CAN be due to:
Excitement
Sexual rehearsal
Burning off pent up energy
General stimulation...yippee, something’s happening!
Stress/Anxiety/Displacement behaviour
Play
Hyperarousal
A medical issue
Boredom
Frustration
Burning of excessive energy (like zoomies)
Ambivalence about a situation or a dog
Unease
Tiredness

If you are worried:
Make a note of how many times a day this is happening.
Take your dog for a medical check up.
Contact a up to date science-based behaviour consultant to identify the triggers and the emotions to be able to develope a modification plan to improve the emotional state and hence the behaviour.
What to do in the moment - if the dog underneath seems uncomfortable and stressed then please interrupt. It may mean that the 'top dog' is unable to read the body language of the other one. Rather redirect that energy to a toy or chew as opposed to saying off. Give him something mentally stimulating to do instead. If they are having turns and alternating this behaviour with other behaviours like chasing, tumbling, play bows, etc., then leave them be.
Be careful of your dog doing it to random dogs in a park that he does not know. The unknown dog could become aggressive due to not wanting the behaviour.

Note - many Google searches for this behaviour will bring up the word dominance. The behaviour is not due to such a simplistic, misunderstood term. Dogs do it to pillows, toys or furniture - do you think that they are trying to dominate those inanimate objects? Every dog is an individual with unique emotions. The feelings and motivations for the behaviour will differ from dog to dog but it is certainly not about dominance. Don't believe everything you read on Google and check your trainer's/behaviourist's credentials. Let's not label every behaviour beyond our understanding as dominant 🙂

Most guardians rush to sterilize their dogs when this happens...it may not make a difference.

I haven't posted in a while so I figured I'd show ya how our walk went and to remind you to not expect to much to fast this is a longer walk for her as well as the first time going with no treats is her walking perfect no but she's not polling my arm off or polling me in general. She stays on one side and gives me a lose leash that's all I need her stopping is also not the best but she does it and doesn't walk without me. This is also her first time passing a barking dog and she t**e it like a champ and sat there she examed but didn't stare and was easily ok with looking back at me and she's also a dog terrified of everything. As people we often look at more of the mistakes then the accomplishment it can be frustrating but it's always posable to work around them. Hope everyone is doing great though and don't be afraid to messedge me if your having any problems

Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th. It's also a very scary day for dogs and just to say please don't leave them outside unattended even if the yard is fenced in expeshialy for pups who never experienced this before if they are scared of it they will find away out or can hurt themselves trying. If they are scared you can work with them to make it less scary this is keekee it's her first set of fireworks and she's terrified and barked after each one we are atleast sitting and watching them now no bark but still scared just remember to not lose hope or give up there's always a way.

Its garden season for anyone who likes to plant flowers or any food in the garden keep your dog fur!! Laying dog fur around the garden helps keep unwanted animals and insects out but also benefits the plants. Dogg fur releases nitrogen as it decomposes witch is very imported for growing plants. It also helps regulate temperature and hold in moister witch is helpful for our good PA weather. It's helpfully for inside our outside plants!

Since it's getting warming out the most commen thing for people is to shave there dogs and I just want to help and inform everyone of risks with this as a lot aren't usualy aware. Fur is used to regulate there body temperature so on cold days it help keep there temperature warmer but it's also very usual in the summer fur keep the sunlight out from reaching witch results in them being cooler. Shaving the coat allows more direct sunlight witch can cause sunburn to the dog and the higher temperature. And in a. Lot of fur types once you shave it it will grow back complealty different wheather it be texture, color or even more spotchy in some areas.

You can train a dog to do anything if your determine enough. Kiki is a breed of 2 different hunting dogs it's her natural instinct to want to go after a rabbit, she can easily run over to my bun if she wanted to I didn't use any treats during this. This is just a leave it and wait command together. This is the first time of her having a full view with no separations. We are not close to our goal but I just want to show everyone that if you want your dog to do somthing or if there just not getting the hang of a command it's still possible. And excuse the mess rabbits and clean don't go together.
