I have a 6 year-old female Lhasa-Aspo/Shih-tzu mix who is spayed.?
We just acquired her a month ago, she is spayed & in great health. However, she crawls on top of our female toy poodle, and one of our male cats, and humps them. I keep telling her that "nice girls don't so that", but she just looks at me with her huge eyes and continues to do it. Not that it's harmful, but I would rather she didn't do it. Has anyone else ever encountered this, and what, if anything did you do? No idiotic answers.

Mounting other dogs (and even cats) is dominance behavior. She is trying to communicate to your Poodle that she is the alpha in your "pack". This is not unusual behavior, and may subside as the pack order settles out.
If it really bothers you, try using a squirt bottle full of water. Put it on "stream" (rather than "mist") and squirt her when she's mounting the other dog, cat, etc.; couple this with "No!" if you'd like. Small dogs tend to hate the water, and it's essentially harmless -- the bottle will become the bad guy, not you.
Good luck!

you ought to oversee their time at the same time and purely enable them to get to renowned one yet another. they'll the two get alongside or the 4 twelve months previous will take care of her territory. Time will tell. they'd desire to finally finally end up as pals, pals, etc. do not leave them on my own for the 1st couple of days until you recognize they get alongside.
