Why is my spayed dog still humping after surgery? When will it stop?

Question

My female blue heeler was spayed a month ago, she keeps “humping” my other female and male dog. How long does it take for this to stop after being spayed? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Cattle Dog | Female | spayed | 1 year old | 30 lbs

Humping is not only a sexual behavior but it also a dominance behavior. It is most likely that she is trying to assert her dominance over the other dogs. This is a link to an article that may answer more of your questions: https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/7_3/features/Mounting-and-Dominance_5615-1.html My recommendation is to get an in-home professional dog trainer to help you. Trying to correct this behavior can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
