Why does my neutered dog only hump one specific male dog at friend's?

Question

Hello, whenever i go to my friends house i bring my dog with me, he's a 5 year old mixed male dog whom is neutered. He trys to specifically hump 1 out of the 3 other dogs in the household and that dog is a 3 year old male. He's never done this before since Ive gotten him and only does it to this specific dog. Whys that? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 160 lbs

It's hard to say why Duke might be doing this with only one specific dog. Humping in dogs is often associated with frustration, over-excitement, or can be an attempt to solicit attention or play in some cases. It would help to be able to observe the dogs interacting in order to make a better guess at why he does this. If it's causing a problem, the best option would be to simply separate Duke from this dog when you are at your friend's house, or keep him on-leash so that he can't bother the other dog. You could also try giving him something special to chew on when he is there, such as a bully stick or rawhide, to help keep him busy.
