Why is my spayed dog humping, scooting, and showing aggression?

Question

My dog was spayed last month at 7 months old, and is now humping. Do I need to be worred? She is also scooting but has been able to go to the bathroom no problem and seems to be a bit more aggressive.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not a reason to be concerned. Humping can be an ongoing behavior that may happen from time to time and it is not necessarily due to her being spayed. The scooting could be due to anal gland issues. If she continues to do that, I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Best of luck!
