To relieve mating stress in a dog, gently stroke its sheath.
During full heat a bitch will find relief if you massage her vulva and finger her. To gentle a bitch, gently work a finger into her vulva. You may need to feel around carefully to find the entrance to her vagina, which will be toward the upper area of her vulva hood, in the standing position.You may feel a hard bead inside her vagina (clitoris) that may make the bitch buck when touched; some bitches enjoy this and will find pleasure by humping against your finger, others may not.
