You should discourage your female dog from humping you, even if it's normal behavior, because it can become a problem habit, signal underlying issues, or make guests uncomfortable; calmly redirect her with a toy or command, ensure she gets enough exercise, address stress, and see a vet if it's frequent or sudden, as it can stem from excitement, anxiety, or medical discomfort, not just dominance.

Should you let your dog hump you?

No, you generally should not let your dog hump you; it's better to discourage the behavior by redirecting them with toys, increasing exercise, or giving a brief time-out, as humping can stem from excitement, stress, seeking attention, or underlying issues, even if it seems harmless. While a quick, infrequent instance might be okay if it doesn't bother you, consistent humping can become a bad habit or signal a need for more physical and mental stimulation, so interrupting it calmly and consistently is best for training and managing the behavior, say experts from ASPCA, Purina, and PetMD.
