Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Penny. She is so cute! It could be she is masturbating, which dogs can do even when they are spayed. It feels good, and that's why she does it. When you see her start to do it on you, tell her no, turn your back on her (move your leg away), and ignore her. Tell her no when she does it to the cat, and also take away the pillow and say no when she tries to do it to that. She will learn it's an inappropriate behavior and she will get ignored when she does it. I hope this helps!
