Re: Preventing Dog Erection?

Its pretty normal. Lloyd had his out a lot when we got him. Everytime he was excited (often when meeting new people . . . we just told people he really liked him. He outgrew this for the most part. For him it was around 8months until he was a year probably that it was very frequent. Now it still happens sometimes, but not as often.

Doesn't sound too abnormal to me considering his age and that he's just recently been altered. I'd mention it to a vet, but it seems likely that it's just a phase.
I say this because it isn't an erection She is indeed seeing the pink penis sticking out of its furry sheath, but she would know an erection when she saw one. The dog's penis enlarges considerably and becomes a deep red color. In general one would also be able to see the knot at the end that allows the male to tie to the female. Viewable penis does not equal erection, it just equals viewable penis and there's no way to stop that. That's like asking a female dog to hide her nipples or something.

I just wanted to be clear with the OP (and whoever) that when you see a bit of dog lipstick, you're just seeing some anatomy. It has nothing to do with sexual excitement, mating, etc.

I agree I just saw this.....

what you see when a dog is sitting or has it "hanging" out so to speak is not a full on erection..... I was amazed at the ummmm size of an actual erection when I took a golden retriever to be collected when we bred Kaelyn a year ago..... it nearly hit the ground.....

I agree with fille.... what you are seeing is not a full on erection just a bit of the ole "red rocket" as we delicately call it in this house and that has nothing to do with excitement, mating etc.

Re: Preventing Dog Erection?

Get him neutered if he isn't already o.O Sometimes erections aren't always sexual, he's just "aroused" by something that he wants or it might be it just hangs out for no reason (like humans).

I don't really try to prevent it. I just let it happen, as long as he is doing no harm to either one of us. lol. Nature's calling, not much you can do.
