Okay, this is a pretty funny problem, but it really IS a problem!
Whenever my husband and I get intimate, our beloved dog starts to whine and gets very obviously stressed out. As a result, she will start chewing up blankets or anything else that is in sight. We tried closing the door so that she was out of the room, but the wailing and whimpering was too much to bear. When she is in the room, she well often try to interfere but when brushed aside she just sulks in the corner nervously chewing on something. I don't want to have to lock her up in her crate every time we want to get friendly (not to mention being out of line of sight of us seems to make matters much worse, and with her crate being in the bedroom, she would get very upset if we were having fun elsewhere in the house).
I don't know if perhaps she thinks he is hurting me (I am rather vocal at times!), maybe it is a jealousy issue, or possibly an "alpha" thing... she is a rescued dog from a shelter and had a rather serious "alpha dog" problem when we first got her. Once she learned her place in our family, her rowdy behavior was a thing of the past.
We were thinking about maybe using the crate and putting a rawhide bone in there for her to chew on, a treat of sorts to associate us having sex with getting treats but also to give her something "safe" to chew on when she gets nervous (instead of ruining my favorite blanket... ugh!!!)
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Also, feel free to share your funny pet stories involving your sexual escapades... I'm sure there are some good ones out there!
