    Why is it that some dogs like to mount peoples' legs, while other dogs find no interest in doing this?

    Question #54442. Asked by tamarindgh.

    Was gonna say, maybe it depends if you have nice legs or not...but this site might help :)

    For dogs, this can be not only a sexual issue but a dominance one and most dog experts feel that any dog who does this should be discouraged. Neutering prevents an estimated 70% of dogs who mount legs from doing it in the future, but the trait can be common among female dogs who have been neutered.

    Strangely some dogs have a preference for arms rather than legs.

    My Irish Terrier Reilly mounts pillows, and the late Rufus (Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier - not a hooman!) used to have a go at my legs, not a pretty sight - but the funniest sight I've seen was Gemma, my daughter's Australian Cattle Dog, having a go at Reilly. Both male dogs were castrated, but the vet tells me that testosterone is secreted from other glands than those things (I've forgotten what they are called.) I once owned a very mixed up American Cocker Spaniel who was a complete hermaphrodite. Won't go into details, but her/his reproductive organs ended up in Qld University.
