Yes, dogs can mate and not get stuck. While the 'tie' phenomenon, where dogs get stuck after mating due to the swelling of the male's penis inside the female, is common, it is not a necessity for successful mating. However, this tie significantly increases the chances of successful fertilization. It's nature's way of enhancing the likelihood of reproduction, but a lack of tying does not inherently mean that mating was unsuccessful.
