My neutered dog just started humping. Is this normal behavior?

Question

My dog is 6m old was neutered at 5m, yesterday he just started to hump my leg. Could something have gone wrong with the neutering? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Cattle Dog | Male | neutered | 6 months and 21 days old | 30 lbs

No, there is nothing wrong with the surgery. Dogs hump for other reasons like dominance behavior, play behavior or excitement. I suggest you refer to this article linked below: ( https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/common-dog-behavior-issues/mounting-and-masturbation )
