More embarrassing behaviours!

Does your dog display humping behaviour even though he or she has been neutered or spayed? [Remember though neutering/spaying will not change their behaviour immediately!]

Very embarrassing! Especially when they do it to visitors who are not 'doggy people'!

Interestingly, this is often not a sexual behaviour at all, but a display of dominance.

So the way to proceed is to train them that YOU are the pack leader, and you say who enters the pack territory, and what status the person entering into it will be given. A real aid to understanding how to achieve pack leadership is a book called The Dog Listener by Jan Fennell.
