Dog angry at Human Sex?

Question

Why does My Two Year Old Jack Russell (nearly Three Years Old) get very angry and start barking furiously when I am having Sex with my boyfriend? We have tried to be quiet, and that does not Help.

Answer 1

Probably because he's mistaking your activity--both what he hears and what he sees--as a violent assault on you.

Answer 2

Definitely your dog is jealous and he is showing his ownership over you. he doesnt want to share you with another! i have read somewhere that dogs are bisexual and this being a male-knowing you are a woman- would certainly not like another man to take you.. Dogs sense the energy of a man and a woman. and male dogs tend to show a lot of dominance related aggression.
fortunately this is a terrier and you can still neuter his if you haven't already, but a bigger dog can be very ferocious. i remember my own situation, where i was dealing with the man's nearly 14-year old mix GSD. he was so ferocious that he could have jumped on the bed. but since we all lived together i loved him a lot -authentically too- and he understood.
so he would turn his face the other way!
i would suggest that you and your friend spend some time together with the dog, and occasionally you could let the two of them bond. but this of course can happen if only you really want this friend of yours to be around in your life for long time- to make an investment not only in you, but also your canine companion.
if you can get your dog mated that would also resolve somethign,but neutering is about his and your long term happiness. Surely you wouldnt want him dead just because you are about to tie the knot someday in the near or distant future.
i would even go as far as saying that if you could take him out for some walk or exercise before you could have sex...! he would have burnt out some of his energy, hopefully not you though.
btw plz check whether your dog is reacting only to the activity or the individual also? is he ok with your friend otherwise? maybe he senses an energy which you don't.
last thing. dogs have a great sense of ownership. like your dog would bark at someone coming to their home. you are HIS not your boy-friend's. see how you will resolve this wisely. i am sure you wouldn't want to let go of either...so bring about a shift in paradigm.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/nuwH0

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Answer 4

Have sex away from the dog, then?

I have never had this issue but I have had dogs jealous of people hugging each other & not being involved. Generally jealous of someone else recieving the attention they think they warrent from their owner. Don't rise to the barks or demands for attention - though I really do not know why anyone would want to have sex with someone when the dog was in the room. That's just nasty.

Answer 5

He's displaying ownership behavior which means he thinks you are his.

I would practice setting boundaries for the dog.

I use a pop can with pennies in it when I want my dog to stop a certain behavior, so maybe it will work for you.

First, I'd have a toy with treats in it (or his fav. chew toy) so he has something to do until... you two are finished. Give him the toy and go into the room.

You and your boyfriend should make noise as if you were having sex (do a dry run??).

As soon as the dog starts making the smallest noise, jump up and shake the pop can in it or clap to distract him. Once you have his attention then tell him "no" in a stern voice. Don't yell. Yelling just excites dogs more.

Get the toy and give it to him again. Do this a few times. It might work. I shake the can when my dog barks at the neighbor dog and hold her muzzle and say, "NO." It works for us, hopefully it woks for you...

Answer 6

I had a border collie who would embarrass my girlfriend of the time no end, he couldn`t hear us but he could smell what we`d been up to(no we are both very clean people). If she came downstairs(no pun intended) to the lounge he would hump anything, chair and table legs, curtains, even the edge of a door, but only if we`d just finished. I bet you he can smell sex, remember a dog`s sense of smell is 10 times stronger than ours.
Keeping quiet won`t make any difference,he`s obviously jealous.

Answer 7

He sounds jealous, or he may think your boyfriend is hurting you and is trying to protect you. I would either ignore him or put him elsewhere. You also might try walking with your boyfriend and your dog, but have your boyfriend actually walk the dog. This might reinforce that your boyfriend is a caring leader in the dog's life and shouldn't be feared or attacked.

Answer 8

He thinks you are being attacked. He is protecting you. My female dog used to bite boys who tried to kiss me (but she didn't like men much at the best of times)

Answer 9

Only did it once with the dog present. He pranced around the room yelping, obviously thinking it was a game and wanting to join in. Never again. We were laughing at him too much to concentrate on the other.

Answer 10

Maybe he's jealous--though THAT'S a really gross thought :(

If it persists, keep him in a crate in a different room. Or buy a baby gate--put it on the stairway so you can do your business in the basement or upstairs, while he is stuck on a different floor. Either that or do it while you're away from the house he's in.

Answer 11

Put the dog in another room if your goiing to fool around, simple and problem solved.
