Has it ever occurred to you why dogs always get stuck in each other as they mate? This is called the Tie Phenomenon.
Dogs are special creatures and it is important to understand the behaviour of sexually active dogs. There is no specific mating season for dogs, however females dogs (bitches) mate twice every year.
According to the American Kennel Club, male dogs do not go into heat; they’re capable of conceiving year-round once they become fertile at about 6 months old.
When a female dog goes into heat, it has a significant impact on every sexually active male dog.
A female dog on heat releases a chemical substance called Methyl p-hydroxybenzoate that has shown to sexually arouse male dogs that pick up that scent.
If an active male dog catches the scent of a nearby female on heat, she will become his target.
The male dog may stop eating, increase their marking, become increasingly aggressive and obsess over tracking down that female dog on heat throughout the duration of her cycle.
How do dogs mate?
It is usual for the mating dogs to face the opposite direction as they remain tied. Essentially, getting stuck also prevents other male dogs from disrupting the mating session.
Both dogs naturally separate on their own without any intervention. Never separate them whiles they are in tie phenomenon as this could cause injury.
