Rough, rough.
Humans have a tendency to interpret dog behaviors through human social conventions, which leads to many a misunderstanding. Although humping in dogs can be related to sex, for instance, in the dog world humping also signals things like a desire simply to play or rough-house or to establish hierarchy. Labrador retrievers have a distinctive play style in the dog world, and they often like to rough-house or play hard; the humping behavior you are observing is probably your dog's way of saying "this dog smells like they'd be fun to rough-house with."
comfort the dog and give it something too play with.
The dog wants to play with you too and have a lot of fun or the dog has to use the potty or needs food.
Any dog that has any type hunting instincts might perceive a ferret as prey and might hurt or kill. Always closely supervise your ferret when around any other animals, never leave them alone. Advice from another contributor: I wouldn't suggest that dogs and ferrets play together. Ferrets tend to play rough and bite when they play. This is why ferrets have a tough skin. The ferret might bite the dog too hard and possibly hurt him.
It is a show of dominance. The alpha dog will "pin" the lower ranking dog by the neck to show the pack order. Typically it is done in play. If there is aggression then there is a possible fight for status in the pack order. If it gets too rough, you need to "dominate" the aggressor by pinning him/her with your hand holding the dog down by the shoulder and hind legs. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING OR YOU COULD INJURE THE DOG.
I have a chuhuahua mix and she loves rope toys and tiny stuffed animal toys to play with as well as just to rough house with the bigger dog or me.
