Our JR terrier that was spayed in December, keeps mounting her cushion from her basket. This happens 2 or 3 times a day. Is this normal ??

Back loftie back!! sorry never had theat issue with the female dogs that i have had
she is bossing it...it shouldn't be her cushion and her basket, it should be your cushion and your basket that you allow her to use
Have heard of this before, is it something to do with the hormones which are out of sinc due to op. Believe it passes , could you remove the cushion pro temp.
Although the majority of hormones are produced by the ovaries which are taken away when a bitch is spayed, some hormones are produced in the adrenal glands, If bitches start mounting people, and/or other dogs, it is usually a dominance issue.
Its often a 'learned' behaviour and not a hormonal one so spaying would not have any effect. She is dominating it as she would a younger female or puppy. Try giving her something to distract her, such as a chew or a bone, but I would not worry about it.
