The Humpty Dance

[Christie H]

OK does anyone else have a male bulldog who out of no where starts doing the Humpty Dance ( Humping thin air). Abbott is 2 and neutered, has been since he was 6 months.He just started about a month ago..he just does it at random, in the truck, home etc.Any Ideas besides he's a male( no offense to the men.lol )

Lambeau is 7 months and does this.... mostly what I noticed it is when he is really happy or overly excited. Usually just calling his name or saying leave it... and he stops

Same here 5-1/2 months we also have another male dog.

It could be a hormonal change (even tho he's neutered) being 2
and it's suddenly started. He may stop after awhile, redirecting
his attention is best if he continues till exhaustion (unlikely) or
ignore if just a short time.

Chum does it all the time...and sometimes he mounts hershey and I'll pull him off immediately but the humping dance goes on another 15 seconds or so...I figured it's because he's not neutered? It's comical to watch..
Hershey is neutered and does the hump dance too. I thought neutering removed any desire for that so I'm curious why so much humping too.

Elmo doesn't hump, but my Chihuahua Girl Heidi does on her bear.
