I've got an 20 month male and a 7 month female - both neutered - and occasionally they try to hump each other - I don't worry about it.
It doesn't bother them, they don't do it very often, I'm not a behaviourist but I think they are trying to say I'm the boss of this game! As they seem to do it when they've been playing rough and tumble.

The dog's name is Rain.

Not precipitation.

It's just hormones. Girl puppies do it a lot and older girls sometimes do it if not taught not to.

Mine will hump one of my others if they are about to come into season, which is a really good indicator for me as then I know a few days before and before there are any outward signs.

I remember asking a similar question about my female pup she started humping her bed and I thought it was odd... apparantly it's quite normal.

She only does it to her bed, not the cats, furniture or us lol. I just try to say "no" when she does it.
