Mounting is not necessarily about sex when it comes to dogs. In most cases (neutered males and females) this behaviour is linked to hormonal influences still present within brain chemistry. It is very common and is within the normal range of behaviour for a male and sometimes female dog.
It can be part of play, sometimes rough play and can be an attempt to gain access to the best resource on offer (the most suitable mate, and so on).
A dog can easily be trained not to 'hump' with rewarding training methods.
On occasion it can be as a result of a urinary tract infection so it may be worth getting this checked out.
The 'dominance' approach is very outdated and there is little scientific proof to support this theory. It has been refuted even by its initial proposer, David Mech.
You should always consult a qualified and accredited dog trainer or behaviour consultant for expert help and advice. Your Vet can recommend one and your pet insurance policy should cover the cost.
