But to dogs, this behavior is totally natural. To humans, it is very weird and somewhat appalling to hump our friends every time we hang out with them or greet them. In a word, if your dog gets hard sometimes and does weird things, it is all natural and does not need intervention. Female dogs tend to mount other dogs, objects and people just like their male counterparts when they are sexually driven. They just feel it less frequently and less strongly than intact dogs. Spayed dogs do feel the need to be sexually excited. But the sexual drive is natural for most of the animals. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that only intact dogs or dogs that have not been spayed / neutered feel the desire to engage in sexual behaviors. Humping, mounting, and masturbation are normal sexual behaviors in dogs. This is why we see some dogs get so hard and horny in broad daylight. It is the high level of Hyperandrogenism that causes dogs to feel an incredibly powerful sex drive. In dogs which have not been through castration, Androgens is called Hyperandrogenism. You can tell if your dog has too many of Androgens by examining its hair and skin around its tail and rump. This hormone can be found mostly in male dogs, but it has also been found in female ones at low extents. The adrenal glands, testes and ovaries in dogs create a hormone called Androgens.
