Dogs were put on this Earth for one cause : to love humans . Also , to tail lawn tennis balls and lick their own stern … so , I guess they were put on Earth for three or four reasons . disregardless , the bond paper spirt between man and detent is one that will never be broken .
Still , that does n’t mean it ca n’t be reach . Dogs make it pretty apparent when they do n’t want to do something , like go to the vet or take a bathing tub … but do they care when their owner has sex in front of them ? I call up technical hotdog trainer and author ofTraining for Both Ends of the Leash : A Guide to Cooperation Training for You and Your Dog , Kate Perry , for answer . She get me know just how upsetting it can be for a bounder to witness the loathsome act of human love .
I ’ve been working as a firedog trainer for 17 age . It ’s a curious form of matter , but it ’s also a serious topic . As a trainer , I deal with this all the time . I ’ve jokingly told my colleagues that we should make a show about it , because it ’s destroyed relationships .

It can be a freehanded government issue . The realness of a dog trainer is like we ’re a fiddling bit like a societal worker – nobody hollo me when things are going great . In this particular subject , I ’ve had lots of scenarios where this happens . I ’ve had to train around scenario where even someone hugging the firedog ’s proprietor drives the dog ballistic .
There are plenty of components of why this happens – some dogs could n’t care less . But , some dogs engage on what ’s call primal driving force , and resource guarding , and territorial guarding . So , when another party is come into their space and all this bodily process is happening on what they think is their bed … they do n’t have intercourse what ’s find and they can view that as somebody assault their proprietor .
Some dogs care , some do n’t . It ’s the natural inherent aptitude in the dog .
Or , they want to dominate and operate the moment . What mass do n’t realise is that dogs can be quite controlling when they desire their owner to be No . 1 . They can act out and I ’ve had multitude call me and order me " my wienerwurst wo n’t lease my married man or boyfriend or girlfriend in the bedroom . " So , what ’s really croak on is that the dog ’s hold their territory .
Some dog like , some do n’t . It ’s the natural inherent aptitude in the dog . It can happen with Man or charwoman , it just depends on the pawl ’s history with the proprietor . The first thing you have to do is take the dog off the bed . That ’s the No . 1 remedy … then put them in their own layer or a crate , or gate them off .
hound are excited animals like we are . They say it call for 21 Day to bust a habit , so I ’ve been using that method in New York . So , ballpark , it takes around three weeks to train your detent not to go ballistic when you ’re having sexual urge . It ’s teaching a blackguard not to be on your bed , then teach your dog how to be in another room and be OK with that . But , there can be interval anxiety when the frump ’s not with their owner .
Still , the dog have this in their DNA and watching their owners having sexual urge in bottom can be see in a lot of different way .
pawl have been naturalise to hunt for us and guard us ; dogs are supposed to guard and protect . That ’s the initial primordial reason we have them . Now , we do n’t desire them to bark or pee or do what we initially bred them to do . In New York , we have doormen to be our protector now . Still , the dogs have this in their desoxyribonucleic acid and watching their owner having sex in seam can be read in a lot of dissimilar elbow room .
specially with the strain type : a Doberman or a Rottweiler or German sheepman … they are classic guard dogs . With the life-style that goes on in New York , frank are n’t getting walked that often and only spend time with their owners at night , so they do n’t like when other people are suddenly thrown in the mix . I have a Chihuahua that I adopt and he does n’t even like when people come to my front doorway .
In close : the light answer is that it really depends on how you educate your dog . If you ’ve spent your entire life happily allowing them to catch some Z’s on your bed , then yes , they might care if someone else takes their touch . Dogs were bred to care for humanity and ca n’t apprehend the act of beloved for what it is : notan act of attempted murder . So , do yourself a favor and do n’t countenance your dog double as a cuddle - chum .
