To get your dog to release after mating, remain calm and patient. Do not try to separate them forcefully; this can cause injury. It's natural for dogs to 'tie' during mating, which can last from a few minutes to an hour. Distracting both dogs with gentle petting can help, but time will do the rest. Always consult a vet for specific concerns.
