Humping is not a boy behavior. Neither is marking. All dogs can do these behaviors. Humping can be a play behavior, status-seeking behavior, or sexual. If you don't like it interrupt her and redirect her to something else. If it is specific to one toy, remove the toy.
Isabella acting like a male dog!?
I have a really soft teddy bear the size of my 4 month old puppy and when Isabella found the stuffed bear she started humping it like you would see a boy dog do. IS that normal? Has anyone seen a female dog do this? I am sure she is a female and she has been to the vet atleast 4 times and they haven't said anything to me about her being a boy. Today is the first I seen this but shes been doing it all day!

Nikki did that when she was a puppy. I don't believe it was a mating thing. She outgrew it quickly. Both males and females do that.
I'm sorry, but this sentence just tickled me. :HistericalSmiley:I am sure she is a female and she has been to the vet atleast 4 times and they haven't said anything to me about her being a boy.
