- Insecurity or Stress Dogs who are unsure of their environment can mount as a way to relieve stress.
- Dominance Dogs try to show dominance by mounting another dog
- Reproductive Rehearsal Play is ofttimes used to hone behaviors that will be needed some time in the future.
- Hormones This tends to appear during adolescence and can be seen in both male and female dogs. It can then become a learned behavior
- General Excitement This does not mean arousal. Rather, the dog got super excited about life in general and this was one way he could express it.
- That Special Moment Of course, this would
be when you were mating two dogs for a purpose. What's important to know is that most of the time mounting is usually not about love and babies.
